DEATH // SENTENCE

Bullshit Jobs // Did DC Comics Get Good?


Listen Later

David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs (https://amzn.to/2xYaydf) builds on his barnstorming 2013 essay... but does it build enough? And can you trick your boss into reading it?
Then we talk about how DC Comics went from the company that used rape and murder to 'take the smile out' of comics to a company putting out amazing work starring Elmer Fudd and Snagglepuss.
Also featuring a discussion of object-oriented ontology, neoliberalism, Aggretsuko, and those weird Warhammer 40k middle-grade books.
