"This movie is kind of about the death of civil discourse around politics, where everybody was so angry all of the time, and you have that one guy who doesn’t have an opinion and doesn’t care and he ends up dying because of the conflict. It’s about the death of not having an opinion—the freedom of not being able to give a fuck about things."

"In some ways the Dude is embracing nihilism and absurdism even though they talk about nihilism being bad. The Dude creates his own meaning for existence. His reason for being is the rug! It really tied the room together."

"I would like to propose that this movie be the official movie mascot for our podcast just because John Waters does what we are trying to do with our podcast—he is trying to break down social norms, stigmas, and things related to marginalized people or people who live outside of the so-called norm, and he tries to make us re-think about how we think people should be."

New episode! Maria and Brandon talk about Serial Mom, the 1994 John Waters cult classic. They talk about how this film represents a lot of what the podcast stands for, and the comment the film makes on the death penalty. Check it out on our website, or in any major podcast channel!
