In this episode, Dara talks about how listening to another podcast stimulated all of this episode's talking points.
He discusses the casting and similar subject matter of three very recent movies, at the end of which discussion Kevin Costner's butt puts in a brief appearance.
A guest's voice from that other podcast reminds him of a friend who put down a very clear boundary.
He talks about issues of identity and representation and who gets to tell whose story. He wonders about the subjective nature of experience.
Throughout the various points is an attempt to dip a toe into, and make sense of, the muddy waters of identity politics, culture wars and wokeness, and an R. Crumb solution to the impossibility of it all.
Finally, he looks at the French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau and a thought-provoking notion of his.
