Nate Bargatze returns to host the second episode of the 50th season with his trademark generous use of social space. We talk about masculinity in the Opening Monologue, the desires of the dead in Water Park, grotesque bodies and food in Sushi Glory Hole and Mile High Burger, and asymmetrical bilingualism in Sabado Gigante. Readings address the constructions of masculinity and femininity, philosophical investigations of death, and Linguistic Justice by Phillippe Van Parijs.
