There is nothing wrong with your radio, Night Vale, do not attempt to adjust the dial. Mother Lauren is controlling the transmission. And she is pissed.
This week’s Night Vale recap features nightmare images of a clawed monster Freddy Kruegering her way down the street, but also asks the age-old question: is a hot dog a pizza? (Kathryn and Elizabeth disagree about it being a sandwich, but they definitely know it’s not a taco.)
After the recap they have a spoileriffic look at the first two episodes of Mayor of Kingstown (we love how Jeremy Renner short circuits potential story arcs by just punching someone) with tangents into Furiosa hype and how if a movie doesn’t make Marvel money it’s considered “a flop.”
Finally, Elizabeth almost missed the recording because she took a nap after a Memorial Day party and woke up to messages from at least four different people going “WHY AREN’T YOU ANSWERING YOUR PHONE ARE YOU DEAD” and she’s really sorry she worried everybody, but she’s also weirdly relieved, because if you live by yourself sometimes you wonder “…if I fell down and hurt myself and couldn’t get to the phone, how long would I lie there before someone came to check on me?” Well, if you’re missing a podcast recording, it’s 43 minutes.
