Cannonball with Wesley Morris

'Waiter, There's a Fly in Our Bubble'

Listen Later

With a monumental election on the horizon, we want to bring up a few recent events that show some sort of truth amid the confusion. From the NBA bubble to the fly in Mike Pence’s hair to HBO's “Lovecraft Country”, these are moments that point us beyond the present, to be our best and greatest selves.


Discussed this week:

  • “Scandal” (Season 4, Episodes 9-12, ABC, 2015)
  • The N.B.A. bubble
  • The vice-presidential debate (Oct. 7, 2020)
  • “Lovecraft Country” (Episode 7, HBO, 2020)
  • Sun Ra
  • More Sun Ra
