Kate Berlant

Actress and comedian Kate Berlant discusses the film 'Dream Scenario' which explores the power of the collective unconscious. Topics include instant celebrity through social media, archetypal roles, and personal connection to Jungian analysis. The podcast delves into dreams, societal perceptions, identity, and fame, blurring the lines between personal and public personas.

John Early and Kate Berlant join the hosts to discuss watching a play vs a movie, their experience watching the movie Jersey Boys, stress of holiday gift shopping and a company called Uncommon Goods, frustrations with a thin remote control and their love for meta elements in storytelling, viral memes and social media mishaps, discussions on social media, athletic greens, and brain injections, and lighthearted banter about fontanelle, chocolate éclair cravings, athletic grades, absorbing nutrients, and hats.

Competitive couple Claire and Ben keep track of who does what in the relationship. Dr? Sheila advises them to go further and name a winner of the marriage. They discuss health-consciousness, scorecards for tasks, and even a sexual activity scorecard. One speaker files for divorce in the end.
