Welcome to "Mars on Life." From California to Massachusetts, listen as four friends understand the arts, culture, class and life itself in this irreverent series. If you keep going, you'll make it to Mars.
With careful consideration, this will be the final episode of "Mars on Life." This was a difficult choice, but we have chosen to end our five-year run in pursuit of a new, refined show. Rest assured, we will all return.
With returning guest Taylor Mewhiney, the boys return to the topic that started off the show, "American Dirt," as a new book by the author is on the horizon. We also return to "Velvet Buzzsaw" one last time, as well as what's the deal with Jake Gyllenhaal.
We look back on what we accomplished, what COVID-19 took from us and what we anticipate for the future series still in development. Thank you to those who stayed with us for these wild times and we hope you continue to listen to us when we return. Goodbye for now, but stay tuned.

Everything is Fine (224)
Missed us? We're back from hiatus with a special episode about, as usual, many things. New York, life, loving movies and hating the industry are among all you can expect from this show's fifth birthday (and falling on the week of Sebastian's 27th birthday).

Letdowns and Laments (223)
It's not Festivus, but we air grievances regarding some big things in pop culture and cuisine, as well as some museums, that have been some real stinkers after so much hype from our peers.
MOL guest Heather Friedman makes a few cameos and critiques.
