About this episode
Jared Weiss discusses the Knicks' championship, nostalgic films, and the state of modern content in this week's Rabbit Hole Roundup.
In this week's Rabbit Hole Roundup, I'm covering everything from Knicks championship, underrated sci-fi philosophy to nostalgic throwbacks, to a heated conversation about the state of modern content—and wrapping it all up with a massive sports week. I start in the movie corner with the 2016 sci-fi film Passengers with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. The film opens up deep questions.

I also highlight a message from teacher Mr. Shutes about leading with kindness, followed by a reminder from creator Elisa about embracing embarrassment, taking risks, and building confidence through action. Finally, we close with a packed sports recap—headlined by the Knicks' championship run and what it means for the league moving forward, plus MLB standouts, rising stars, and World Cup and Stanley Cup.
