Previous Episode

So Weird Was SO GOOD! Memory: This episode about aliens is a little TOO real.

What if you can't trust your own mind or memories? What if you don't have the resources you need to stay alive? What if you are under the control of people who are not in their right mind and they make poor decisions that put you at risk? Each of the characters respond to this situation wildly differently, and deciding who is right and who is wrong is not straightforward.
Drugs? Mental illness? Alzheimer's? Caregiver neglect? Lack of resources? Somehow this episode about aliens is relevant to all of these things, and therefore one of the most relatable stories ever set to film. One trip to IMDB later we are pretty sure this was intentional. Yet again, this show had the best team imaginable and they created magic.

Next Episode

So Weird Was SO GOOD! Escape: Leave the burnt-out gifted children alone, please!

Quick question: did we all have fantasies about being able to astral project when we were kids, and did those fantasies evaporate once we all got our drivers' licenses? Asking for a friend!
Astral projection acts as an allegory for escapism from the stresses of life in this episode. Capitalism sucks, the 90's treatment of "gifted children" was highly misguided, and it turns out humans need enough free time to experience boredom in order to live up to their full potential. Sometimes that full potential is creating podcasts about 90s children's sci-fi, and THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
