We dive deep into our need for overstimulation . We discuss the way in which quarantine has uncovered the nature of our entertainment. We chat about how social media and streaming work hand-in-hand to provide constant stimulation and the time-passing coping strategies. We muse over the consequences of the death of boredom. This leads us to talk about the resurgence of fantasy and gothic series. We talk about Lovecraft Country and the groundbreaking role of Lord of Rings and Game of Thrones. With forays into Warlock, D&D, and nerd culture.
