65! Beyond Genre and Drops — Critical Nonsense

What does the movie Parasite tell us about culture? And what are the consequences of all these drops? [18:20]

This week, Cultural Horoscopes! with our very own cultural astrologer Osei Kwakye. He, Joey, and Jess talk about subtitles, our categorization-machine tendencies, Good Boys, the Cosmic Crisp apple, social scarcity, and fat times. They don't talk about how that Frasier episode is Season 10, Episode 11: "Door Jam."
