Dr. Maria talks to Mikey about the new documentary on John Casablancas (Elite Model Agency founder, record label honcho and father of Julian 'Strokes' Casablancas), Casablancas: The Man Who Loved Women.
Dr. Maria brings in Alex Gibney's 2016 documentary, Zero Days, about Stuxnet - a computer worm designed by the US Government. Capable of taking out industrial control systems (power grids, ATMs, telecommunications), it was initially designed to scupper Iran's nuclear program, but the virus/worm grew to be a much bigger threat.
Dr. Maria talks to Mikey about the 'Tasmanian Twin Peaks' television series, The Kettering Incident. What is it about the hyperreal, the surreal + TV narratives set in small towns? Also: Mike talks a fair bit about hippos. Fair enough.
