Episode 90: Thinker or Thinkee (The End of the Tour)

Published: Oct. 18, 2020, 7:44 p.m.

This week we discussed the indie film, The End of the Tour. The End of the Tour is about Rolling Stones reporter, David Lipsky's five day interview with author, David Foster Wallace as Wallace ends his Infinite Jest book tour. In this episode we have a serious discussion regarding Wallace's legacy as a writer and philosopher. We analyze whether or not we agree with the perameters of the interview and dive into the different themes of the movie (addiction, self image, and loneliness). While we may not have liked this movie equally, it led us to have a deep conversation.
