The Sparrow and Decolonialism
I just want you to know, I didn't plan for things to go this way. If anyone did, God did. Blame him, my takes just fall like flaming sparrows. We're talking The Sparrow and how it is chock full of colonialist tropes that really killed the vibe for me.

I Who Have Never Known Men and Existentialism
Everything is gender! And Also nothing is gender! Everything is a prison, but also freedom! The universe is absurd and yet we can still somehow fill it with meaning. All this and more in one of the bleakest and most uplifting takes on The Absurd that we've ever looked at. We discuss all the existentialist elements of this fascinating book.

The Amazing Digital Circus Episode Four and Sartre's No Exit
Welcome back friends! I just know you're going to love today's adventure, because if you don't that would be sad, and I don't like sad things and will prevent them from happening by any means necessary. Hopefully a super fun show about the horror of being known by others will be sufficient, because my back up options get very messy and not in the fun after dark way! So, without further adieu, we are talking about The Amazing Digital Circus, with an emphasis on episode four. Really though we're mining the whole show to help us understand the existential nightmare that is our own existence. So, enjoy! Or else!
