In this Patreon-exclusive episode, we discuss the 2013 film The Congress, why it was just several years ahead of its time, and how it relates to our current historical moment. We also talk about weaponized nostalgia, Media culture, our animated future (?) and the implications of the roots of our networking technology. On the tail end we discuss the potential for our own tangential tantrum of a possible cursing from previous topics. Also stick around as we address some recent reading topics and suggestions and comments from you listeners!
