14 – Method Madness, Brass Knuckles, and Time Machines

This week on Schmactors, James and Mark dive into the psychological side effects of method acting, accidental hate-symbol cosplay, and the crushing guilt of being slightly less generous than your saint-like friends. From dialysis dinner duty to Doc Martens and flannel misfires, it’s a journey into the absurdity of good intentions and the existential spiral that follows.

The duo also tackles some big listener questions:

– Can roles mess with your real-life psyche?

– Would you rather meet your ancestors or your descendants?

– How the hell do you actually overcome fear (spoiler: not always with grace)?

Plus, James opens up about becoming Spike (for real), and Mark shares his subway panic attack origin story. Oh, and someone finally says “My God” with the gravitas it deserves.

So fluff up your emotional back hair and strap in, this one’s got it all.
