Episode 3: Jimmy Raskin puts the clich\xe9 under the microscope through a process he calls Slapstick Enlightenment.Always obsessed with profound moments of failure, Jimmy discusses his love of two quotes by seminal figures of hiswork for the past several decades, Arthur Rimbaud: "If brass wakes as a bugle, it's not its fault," and FrederickNietzsche, the subtitle to Thus Spoke Zarathustra, "A Book for All and None." Putting these up against a profoundmoment of failure of his own in a mispronunciation of "polyphony," and finally against a recently found inspirationalquote by an unlikely source, "All that is is there, all that is is here, all that is is," he goes deep into his love of clich\xe9sand how the artist can resuscitate them.
