The Worst of All Possible Worlds

133 - Sam Shepard’s Buried Child (feat. Yurié Collins)

Listen Later

Yurié Collins (@babypinkhaus) and the lads grab their shovels and go digging for babies as they cover Sam Shepard’s 1979 Pulitzer Prize-winning fever dream of a play: Buried Child. Topics include the toxic masculinity of the cowboy persona, the plays’ morbidly rich imagery, and the terrors of any generation, past or present, facing the dead baby buried in the backyard.
