Show Notes

A week late, but hopefully not a dollar short, today we journey back in time to suburban Indiana and through both seasons of this show that has dominated pop culture and our Netflix feeds. Talking Points: Not splitting the party, the hero's journey, getting distracted by how much we hate Billy, the gender divide in vulnerability and vilification, the marketability of nostalgia, a comfort in formula, standing in your truth (and tropes), and, hey, not every female character has to be likable.
