Constellation: Last Stand Media's Conversational Podcast

It’s time for another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media’s weekly conversational fever dream. On this week’s episode, the illustrious Gene Park (formerly known as Jeen “Mac Daddy” Parc) discusses “Masculinity” and how he and the crew feel about what it means to be a man in a modern world. We’re also joined by Ben Smith, the disgraced former mayor of Assassinland PA, who shrewdly used his inability to bring a topic AS a topic with “Writer's Block.” What a clever feller. Revoke his security clearance. He is dangerous. Chris Ray Gun, a straight man who thought Wicked was quote “fantastic,” hosts this week and gets a temperature check on the “Social Media Exodus” to BlueSky and Threads and whether it actually has a chance or serves any purpose. Enjoy the show while you can! Our planet’s magnetic field is temporary and very fragile and I will personally stop at nothing to keep it so.

#100 | Masculinity, Social Media Exodus, Writer's Block

Welcome back to Constellation, the podcast that reminds you that there's so much in life to be grateful for! This week, Lockmort gets the conversation started with a discussion about the seemingly never ending glut of Disney remakes that we' ve all grown accustomed to over the past decade. As the controversial 'Snow White' live-action movie now looms on the horizon, we are once again reminded of the Mouse House's tendency to recreate their older franchises instead of inventing brand new characters and stories. Do we think it stinks? Next, the Dagster wants to speak with the gang about good ol' fashioned chivalry and what these ancient codes of conduct mean to us now in our modern world. Is helping old ladies across the street and holding doors for our fellow man still relevant today, and how has chivalry evolved since the days of old-timey gentlemen and virtuous knights? Last, Matty leads the crew in their reflections of 2024. As we prepare to close out another year, how do we look back on the last 12 months, and what are we looking forward to most in 2025? Also, we know "It's a Wonderful Life" was directed by Frank Capra not Billy Wilder, we were just testing you. Know it all.

#101 | Disney Remakes, Chivalry, 2024 Reflections

Well would you look at that? It’s time for another episode of Constellation, you lucky devil! In honor of Friday the 13th, the Dagster gets things started with some conversing about the things we’re definitely not afraid of. Which common fears don’t bother us in the least? Next, our good buddy Gene Park leads the gang in paying some well deserved lip service to our best friends. From our closest childhood pals to the besties who still rank high in our hearts as adults, who are the favorite past and present peas in or pods? Finally, Micah engages the crew in a thoughtful discussion about online rage bait. From the content creators clearly inviting the outrage to the audience reacting with expected levels of vitriol, the gang explores this controversial strategy of social media engagement in an effort to understand the insanity. And that’s that. We didn’t talk about the drones. We won’t give them the satisfaction, accursed robotic overlords!

#102 |Things We’re NOT Afraid Of, Best Friends, Online Rage Bait

Welcome one and all to the first-ever episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's new conversational podcast. For each episode, Colin and Dagan are joined by two random guests from LSM's orbit to discuss four random topics, and this time around we're pleased to be joined by the other two-thirds of Sacred Symbols: Chris Ray Gun and Dustin Furman. Dustin wants to discuss the vaunted New Years Resolution with an eye towards whether they serve any function at all. Chris was recently captured by Netflix's docuseries Ancient Apocalypse, and wonders if an Ice Age-era civilization predates all we know about our past. Colin is amped about NASA's successful Artemis I launch, and sells the crew on why a return to the moon is a great thing (if not inevitable). And finally, Dagan considers the likelihood that we've all missed-out on discovering some of our truest talents, a sign of the rapidly passing years and our inability to manage our infinite potential.

It's time once more for Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. For this episode, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by the co-hosts of Defining Duke: An Xbox Podcast. Cog wants to chat about contemporary television, our respective migrations to digital subscriptions, and how our viewing behaviors have changed over time. Matty is curious about the ways we interact with social media, and how we deal with the overwhelming negativity it can introduce. Dagan brings cooking to the table (pardon the pun), and inquires about the cast's culinary skills, tastes, and expectations. And finally, Colin expresses concern over the very existence of billionaires, a few thousand global citizens who are so beyond the traditional definition of "rich" that it defies their very sense of reality.

This week's episode of Constellation is a doozy. Micah joins us to ask about our so-called "old man moments," and if we're evolving into our parents. Dustin waxes poetic about anime, and how it has slowly-but-surely taken over the world. Dagan wonders if he should be more curious and open to new experiences, rather than falling back on the same old guilty pleasure pieces of entertainment and fiction. And finally, Colin inquires about the trials and tribulations of home ownership, and how it's (mostly positively) shaped each of our lives.

For this week's all-new episode of Constellation, The Brothers Moriarty are pleased to draft The Washington Post's Gene Park into their ranks, as well as Sacred Symbols' very own Chris Ray Gun. Gene wants to delve into so-called 'real-life side quests,' the things we keep ourselves busy with on the side for one reason or another. Chris reflects on generational jumps in gaming, particularly the leap from PS2 to PS3 and Xbox to Xbox 360, which he identifies as the greatest shift we've yet experienced. Dagan tells us about his Valentine's Day experiences and expectations, and whether the holiday has long-since overstayed its welcome. And finally, Colin hates shopping for clothes, and he wants everyone to know about it.

Welcome -- one and all! -- to another episode of our conversational podcast, Constellation. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand's duo of producers, Dustin Furman and Ben Smith. Dustin tells us the tale of how he fell in love with his wife, and wonders how and when we knew we knew we loved our significant others. Ben asks about so-called 'kid money', or the cash young people earn and spend. How did we raise funds as children and teens, and how do we feel about the ever-growing economic power of kids? Dagan's topic is nitty and gritty: Pizza! Geographic specificity, topping choices, snootiness. The whole deal. And finally, Colin wants to talk about war, and an American society that seems to find itself militarily-engaged once a generation as if history never happened at all. Should we fear the repercussions of prolonging, escalating, and facilitating a conflict that has nothing to do with us?

We're pleased to welcome a very special guest to this episode of Constellation: The man behind all of Last Stand's music, Ramon Narvaez (aka Colin's best friend since freshman year of college). This week, Dustin asks what our pet peeves are, and what trivial human behaviors drive us mad. Dagan discusses the ups and downs of drinking alcohol, and our various bouts with it (or lack thereof) over time in our respective lives. Ramon goes into the nerdy weeds to outline how Last Stand's soundtrack came to be, and how it's evolved over time, with special attention paid to production and inspirations. And finally, Colin wants to know the answer to a simple-yet-monumental question: What happens when we die?

It's another week, which means it's time for another brand-new episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by the Dukes: Lord Cognito and MrMattyPlays. Cog kicks things off with notions of vacationing, how we carve free time out for ourselves, and what rest and relaxation looks like in our respective lives. Matty inquires about the crew's various so-called life hacks, and how we manage our time, activity, and production in a world that demands so much of us. Dagan is curious if any of us believe in ghosts, if we've had eerie encounters in the past, and what we make of the possibilities of the ethereal plane and the truly unknown. And finally, Colin winds things down with a thought exercise: The perfect crime. In an era of modernity, technology, and constant connection, is such a thing even possible today? If so, what would need to be accounted for?

#7 | The Perfect Crime, Ghosts, Life Hacks, Vacations

It's time yet again for another episode of Constellation, and this week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun and Defining Duke co-host MrMattyPlays. Chris discusses his ADHD diagnosis, the bombardment of stimuli we're all subjected to on a daily basis, and how we retain focus in such a busy world. Matty dives into his trading card obsession, specifically with Pokémon cards, which he loves to collect and grade. What are our respective histories with card-collecting? Dagan's eager to get superstitious, exploring the various ways we try to appease an unknown set of rules while navigating our lives, rules that make little sense and bare virtually no consistency. And finally, Colin comes to the staunch defense of ketchup, which he thinks should be included in your meals as much as possible. Ketchup forever!
