Thoughts from your host…
There are days when one really want to dig into the meaning and symbolism of a new film – that’s when one counts themselves extremely lucky to have a friend like Ariel Fisher. There were a lot of ways I could have recorded a conversation about this film and talked about how very cool it is; only Ariel could approach it from such an intersectional way and really tease its meanings apart.
Sometimes a chair is just a chair; other times the chair is an elegant representation of patriarchy. I’m happy that Ariel is here to talk about the difference…because she’s a lot smarter than me.
What’s more – this episode marks the end of a stretch for the podcast, and I am so very thrilled to be going out on such a high (seriously – even if you haven’t seen this film, listen to this episode!).
The end of the stretch that I refer to is that I’m about to take a much-needed vacation, and this is the last live episode for about a month. There will still be more shows in-store, but I’m unplugging the mic until May! It’s a weird feeling, considering how much I love talking to my guests, and by-extension you fine folks…but at the same time, I’m really eagre to get some miles on my soul and gain even more perspective to bring back to you fine folks.
So please enjoy one more live episode – a banger, if I do say so myself.
Meantime, I’m going on an adventure – play nice while I’m gone, won’t you?
