John was watching a documentary one time and it mentioned the Monomyth? Something about every story low key being the same story? Doesn't seem to make sense but apparently it's a thing. Ryan knows his science but he's completely clueless when it comes to literature. And love. But literature is the more relevant thing for this episode. Luckily a member of Ryan's other podcast, My Favorite Anime, is a professional book editor with a wealth of literary knowledge. Conor Lloyd is the podcast guest John needs if he's ever going to get to sleep tonight.
