How Picard can it be?Sparks Fly (Backwards), with Dan Moren“Hey, the kid’s finally asleep. Why don’t we watch episode three and then record the podcast about it?” Reader, you’ll see why. But! As tired and incoherent as Jenny and Chris are, the episode was bouncy, pacy, and tight; it’s a nightmarish Kafkaesque seesaw of ability and talent. Plus, we get this series’ first genuinely creepy moment, more Pill love, and we recommend a year-old piece global phenomenon as if it’s a just-released indie sleeper hit that needs all the promo it can get. 🤷 Thank the lord for our guest, Dan Moren.
