176: Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin

·1 hr 12 min·4 clips

Macaulay Culkin’s full legal name is Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin.

1. Fandomonious episode 176 centers on 3D printing, pop-culture news, and rivalry jokes, with the episode title nodding to Macaulay Culkin’s repeated legal name. 2. Adam and Ian host the show, and their conversation matters because Adam is actively learning 3D printing while Ian reacts to news items and personal stories. 3. The episode asks what happens when a hobbyist printer update, entertainment headlines, and Ohio State–Michigan jokes are all packed into one recording. 4. Adam describes getting a 3D printer from Josh Estep and printing a Calibration Cat as a settings test. 5. He says an axolotl print failed at first, then improved after he changed the settings and printed again. 6. He also talks about a mouse folk miniature for D&D, a Captain America helmet file, and the difficulty of printing larger cosplay parts in one piece. 7. The printer discussion includes a kit with nozzles, cleaning tools, and maintenance parts that Logan recommended. 8. Adam says the printer cost him very little because he got a good price from Josh and the machine already had upgrades. 9. The cosplay thread expands into Spider-Man face shells, magnetized backs, and people on Marketplace selling finished masks and suits. 10. Adam and Ian compare that work with a member who is currently printing an Iron Man suit that should be at least semi-functional. 11. Adam says the printer forced him to clean his room and clear space, which made the setup more accessible than before. 12. The news segment mentions Danny Segren, the original live-action Spider-Man from The Electric Company, who died at 81. 13. The hosts then read Josh Gad’s post about a Spaceballs project he says he called Mel Brooks about three years earlier, with Amazon MGM Studios listed as a partner. 14. They discuss how Culkin’s legal name became Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin after a 2018 fan poll and a 2019 name change. 15. Ian quotes Culkin’s airport joke about being able to say, “well, Macaulay Culkin is my middle name,” which is the line that sticks with them. 16. The sports banter turns into an Ohio State–Michigan wager, a Michigan coworker wearing Buckeye gear, and a locker name tag changed to scarlet and gray. 17. The tone stays loose and conversational, with long tangents, interruptions, and reaction jokes instead of a strict news rundown. 18. The format shifts from hobby talk to headlines to rivalry stories, and the hosts keep circling back to what they have personally seen, printed, or bought. 19. Listeners into cosplay builds, internet pop-culture trivia, and college-football rivalry jokes. 20. People wanting a tightly edited news show without detours.
