The battle is over, and PokĂ©mon has won. Almost twenty-five years after it arrived on these shores, PokĂ©mon hasnât just survivedâ itâs become the kind of pop-cultural phenomenon that parents share with their kids. But what does that say about PokĂ©mon, and what does our yearning for an ever-more-immersive pocket-monster-catching experience say about us?

At the end of the â90s, after blowing up in Japan, PokĂ©mon came to America. And it became so ubiquitous so fast that critics saw it as a plot to turn U.S. children into hypnotized consumersâ or even devil-worshippers. But the version of Pokemon that conquered America was very much an American creation; in this episode weâll look at how Pokemon became an international brand, and how its success brought out the worst in more than a few American parents.

In which a red-hot video game company crashes and burns, with a little help from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The decline of Atari paved the way for a gaming renaissanceâ think Donkey Kong, Mario and eventually Pikachu. But as Japan took the upper-hand in the console business and taught a generation of American kids how to play, some Americans grew paranoid about a resurgent foreign power beating us at our own game.

âMasculinity is a lot like Fight Club. The first rule is that you don't talk about it.â In this episode, weâre breaking that rule, examining what Fight Club has to say about the emotional lives of men, the links between masculinity and extremist violence, and the path out of the darkness.

There were two verdicts on Fight Club: the opening-weekend box office numbers (spoiler alert: yikes) and the judgment of history. Weâll look at how Fight Club channeled the anti-consumerist politics of its moment, and explore some of the more provocative arguments made in the ensuing years about this still-contentious cult classic and its take on modern men.

Seriously, thoughâ how did a movie as unashamedly anti-capitalist and absurdly homoerotic as Fight Club get made by a major studio, let alone a studio owned by Rupert Murdoch? In this episode, an unlikely piece of materialâ and an uncompromising directorâs vision for that materialâ somehow survives the Hollywood machine, some potentially disastrous PR, and the disdain of a billionaire who doesnât care for movies.

There would be no Fight Club without Chuck Pahlaniuk, the diesel mechanic turned novelist who dreamed up the concept during a shift on the assembly line. In this episode weâre diving into the wild life of Fight Clubâs author and the people, places and experiences that shaped his most famous creation, from his traumatic childhood to culture-jamming shenanigans in â90s Portland.

Itâs easy to reduce Fight Clubâs legacy to a few pop-cultural bullet points: The First Rule, the Second Rule, Brad Pittâs abs. But in 2022 hindsight, this radical 1999 sleeper hit feels more relevant than ever. Weâre looking at the messed up crystal ball that is Fight Club and what it still has to tell us about capitalism, masculinity, and the human yearning to fuck shit up.

The Big Hit Show Season 3 debuts on July 13th. Making satire is hard. And what if the satire you make is so cool, so star-studded, so subversive that the audience takes the wrong message from it? In Season 3 of The Big Hit Show, weâre breaking the first rule of Fight Club to dive deep into David Fincherâs 1999 film, tracing its journey from box office flop to cult classic. In the 90s, the story it told seemed far-fetched to a lot of folks, but these days Fight Club can be seen as an eerily prescient warning about the disaffection of young American men and a crystal ball for where we are today.
