135 - Forest Fire On Potato Road

Discussion of the New Paradigm: the advent of photography, social/media temporality, rows of Laura Palmer corpses in bikinis. What does slowed-down dialogue do to the tempo of time we're forced to endure.

We revisit the concept of the Third Man in the Woods, this time as a malevolent entity that thrives on gossip and innuendo, a kind of Thing That is Watching at all times. Are there tools to combat that?

The Bone Girls marching band juxtaposes radical individuality with the rigidity of formation. We visit a futuristic Las Vegas where a giant inclusivity mech stomps around with a midget Mr. T and a Buddhist monk at the controls.

How can we be sure of good intentions? What's the feeling you get when you look at a neighborhood close to an airport. Never too late for damage control.
