In one of our most intellectual episodes EVER (and that's saying a LOT), we welcome reformed Disney adult Esther Fallick to chat about museums with slides in them—as in slides that you slide down, much like in a playground. We're talking the Museum of Ice Cream, the Museum of Sex, the Museum of Broadway... basically any museum-like establishment that is proudly anti-art! Questions include: Would institutions like this exist if we had universal healthcare? Was Ronald Reagan the original Madame Web? What makes someone a "subject" and what makes someone an "object"? Are we good at identifying "cultural rot"? Well... kind of! LA: Come see George do an hour of standup comedy at the Elysian Theater on March 5 and March 6!
