Deep dives

The Concept of the Suck Fairy

The podcast discusses how beloved childhood items can be reevaluated as adults and sometimes disappoint due to the 'suck fairy' effect, where the original charm is replaced by a bad imitation. A listener comment sparks the idea of filmmaker Luke Georgius, who travels back in time to make all great works of art suck, except for his own.
