Shadow Play

About this episode

The episode discusses Adam Grant's recurring nightmare of being sentenced to death, alongside topics like Stephen Spielberg's first film and German expressionism.

Adam Grant is having a recurring nightmare where he is sentenced to death by the electric chair—at least, that’s what he tells the courtroom when they sentence him. And if what he’s saying is true, it will be a much bigger calamity for all of them than for him when the switch is flipped. Nicole and Peter will relive this perpetual episode and discuss Stephen Spielberg’s first film, Velveeta cheese, and German expressionism. We hope you’ll join us.
