Jason and Daniel Talk "Weiner" and "Feels Good Man"

Published: April 19, 2021, 1 p.m.

Daniel Elkin, editor at the outstanding indie comics website Solrad, joins Jason to discuss two fascinating recent documentaries. Weiner tells the story of the rise and fall of Anthony Weiner, a politician undone by his own lusts. Jason and Daniel debate the Jewishness of Weiner's scandal, the dichotomy between public and private personas, and whether Weiner is a tragic hero. Feels Good Man tells the story of Pepe the Frog, turned from an innocent comic character into a symbol for right-wing politics and a deep internet subculture -- a background that creator Matt Furie tries to redeem. 

It's an hour of fascinating conversation we think you'll enjoy.
