SURRENDER THE ANGLE!
This week’s Night Vale episode is a straightforward story about a boy appearing in town who doesn’t seem to remember his name, or the concept of food, or anything earlier than his appearance in Grove Park earlier that day.
The episode had some interesting and fun bits (the advertisement for SPOONS, or the fact that there really does need to be a DNA test for astrological signs) but what we really wanted to talk about was episode five of Good Omens season 2. Yes, it’s finally time for the Whickber Street Shopkeepers and Street Traders Association Monthly Meeting. With Aziraphale hosting the meeting for the very first time, it’s been turned into a Jane Austin-themed ball, complete with unrehearsed dancing and fancy costumes. It’s silly, it’s improbable, and it’s absolutely delightful.
We also talk briefly about the latest season of The Mandalorian, Saga, and (yet another) rewatch of Arcane, but really, it’s all about the Ball and how we’re still giggling over the “Seamstress!” scene.
