The final episode of the season. We made it this far at least. For this episode Fola and Helen initially ride on the coat tales of the Lessons from the Screen Play crew and look at the differences in how both Pods approach the show.
Helen and Fola also tie this episode to the themes of advertising, structuralism, semitics, paradigm shifts, post modernism AND The Matrix. Not to mention Jaques Lacans diagram of consciousness. Hope you enjoy it, we did.
