This segment from The Dropout sticks with me even after hearing it five years ago.

It was overnight.

Got this Friday night.
Monday morning, I find out my entire department is getting liquidated.

There’s reasons no one is loyal to a company anymore.
Remember kids, unionize and weaponize your employment.

Mr. Inbetween is a lot of things.
Good. Bad. Power fantasy. Bloody. Mean. And a lot of sad.
But that final picture of Ray in the last episode… that final scene is the entire show.
In a world of lackluster open endings, I think this one passes muster.
I’m clearly still thinking about it.

Cool! It took three weeks for NPR to become state media.
Blocked and moving on. I won’t lend ear to a nazi’s bullhorn.

Parents dropped off a bunch of shit I haven’t seen since college.
Got some premo THATTOWN props here.

Like, when I see or hear goon it’s the comic book.

Nah, Coyote Peterson is a cool dude. He loves animals and willingly gets injured by plant and animal life to show how bad it can be and also how to treat the wounds.

Three hours and seven minutes to this thing from start to finish. Broken down into five easy to digest parts.
Curse of the Weeping Damsel is now complete.

Thank you everyone for listening!

Hey.

Share something that gives you hope.

So anyway, there’s a fight.
Listen to Curse of the Weeping Damsel today.

I dunno man. I think Stephen Colbert can be funny. But that fucker also gave screen time to goddamn Kissinger.

I like Jason Isbell’s music. He’s from near where I’m from. I first heard this song on Wits and was freaked out because he mentioned a road near where I was in that moment. Before Dana hit me with the gut punch of an opening theme she made; this is what I referred to as the opening theme. Haha.

BADBADNOTGOOD’s Time Moves Slow is haunting. I know it became popular because of the Adult Swim meme. But holy crap, listen to this thing all the way through. It’ll stick with you. If I was smiling too much, I played this.

I heard, as did a lot of people I think, this song for the first time because of Twin Peaks season 3. It’s been swimming in my brain ever sense. It matched the vibe of WD very well so that’s why we have CHROMATICS’ SHADOW here. [Its on Violet’s phone]

People make fun of Sandy’s Eurythmics haircut. How do I not pull from their most well known song while writing the story.
And come on, she’s asking of her beau what Violet is asking of her’s. It fits. It just fits.
July 20, 2025 at 9:54 PM
The Neighborhood’s Sweater Weather can’t not be on this list. I like this song a lot in general. It’s so easy to get lost in the chorus.
After episode 3, Violet adds it to her phone.

Wits was a radio variety show turned podcast that is sadly no longer active. But they created some cool stuff over there. Including getting Metric to do an acoustic version of Help, I’m Alive. This was on constantly during the writing process.
July 20, 2025 at 9:54 PM
You’re probably wondering why this song is on the list. The opening 20 or so seconds live rent free in my head when it comes to a fight scene buildup.
“But Jesse, there hasn’t been a fight scene!”
You’re right. But you haven’t heard episodes 4 and 5, have you? Something to ponder…
July 20, 2025 at 9:54 PM
Look. I do an art thing with an all caps name. There’s no way CHVRCHES wasn’t going on the list. And OVER strikes the mood I was trying to make very well. It’s on Violet’s phone.

Rio Romeo’s voice haunts me. This song was custom made to hurt feelings. If there’s a gut punch of a scene; assume I was listening to this a couple of times.
