Ep. 46: Lovecraft Country with Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins
We’re a full month into Lovecraft Country, so Dr. Jon Paul Higgins from the Learnt podcast joins us for a spirited discussion about the show’s horrors, both everyday and paranormal, as well as what it’s done for Blerds (Black nerds) everywhere. Karen seeks refuge from “Dumbkirk” and the week’s other stupid and tragic occurrences by mainlining Cobra Kai, while Wynter and Dr. Jon take definitive sides in Brandy vs. Monica. Plus, a nuo-lingo term so old it’s new again, and several songs of the week including two from the aforementioned “verzuz” favorite. Masculinity On The Mat How Lovecraft Country Reappropriates H.P.
