32: Its Tearjerker Time!

Published: June 27, 2018, 11:02 a.m.

Who needs a good cry? Well, we\u2019ve got you covered this week as we discuss two works bristling with poignant and powerful emotion. First up is the new documentary Won\u2019t You Be My Neighbor? about the life and work of Fred Rogers, who brought a philosophy of radical kindness and love to the often crass and materialistic world of children\u2019s television. Then, we react to Hannah Gadsby\u2019s new Netflix special Nanette, which challenges the established conventions of the comedy special as Gadsby draws on her life experiences as a woman who doesn\u2019t conform to rigid social expectations around gender to explain why she needs to quit comedy.
