"Every piece of art... in order for it to actually be subversive, to actually be important, to think beyond the end the world— it has to engage power."
In this absolute smorgasbord of a Season 3 Premier, resident psychoanalyst and African-American Studies doctoral student Gilberto Rosa-Duran catches up with Jon Jon for a sweetly winding, dare we say gut-wrenching, laugh-fest on power—and what it has to do with Black humor, desire, and representation. At the end of the world, what makes a comedic performance interesting? What does gay boy humor have to do with fisting? WHAT the hell IS psychoanalysis? And why is Jeremy O. Harris the gay man's Tyler Perry?
Keywords: Shrek, Arthur Jafa, Ted Danza, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and a 500MG edible.
