It’s brilliantly shot, and the way they portray the dynamic of a gaslight and downtrodden wife versus the bumbling manchild husband that you see in shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons is a brilliant critique of the dominant male and the societal currents that support it.

Hell, the way that the husband absorbs the contradictions arising from their relationship into reinforcing this dynamic is very reflective of how neoliberalism absorbs and co-opts its contradictions and used fascism to close ranks when under threat.

    It should tell you a lot that I went from working as a Story Editor to delivering mail and enjoyed the latter far more even with the lack of breaks and heavy lifting

    This is why if my writing career takes off, i’m going to start my own production studio and do my damndest to have the staff treated well

    Getting treated as a a gofer even though I was officially part of the writing team fuckin’ sucked
