New episode is up now and friends, it covers some dark stuff. We watched S1E1 of the British adaptation of Wallander and really got into the egregious depiction of  \u201cman pain.\u201d We discuss whether the Swedish Chef is offensive, the \u201causterity and bleakness\u201d of the visual landscape, how it took longer than it should have to realize it was set in Sweden, and come up with cool nicknames for Tom Hiddleston. Katy has to mention Eurovision, Carrie drops some Shakespeare knowledge, Maddy hears robots that don\u2019t exist, and Mack lists some medieval deaths. We also talk about how we laugh at our own jokes, how there are hypothetically people we would hit with an axe, why you shouldn\u2019t angrily scroll through Twitter, and how the best things about the show were\u2026the acting and design? (Carrie really did not like this episode.) However, we do applaud the use of privacy screens and the occasionally nuanced presentation of masculinity. Also Maddy comes up with new ghost sounds!  OoooooOOOooo! Originally recorded March 2018.
