"Mare of Easttown" special impromptu episode!
Andy talks with Vinson Cunningham (New Yorker) and Jane Hu (UC-Berkeley English and Film) about the HBO show Mare of Easttown -- a.k.a. “Murder Durdur” -- which concludes its run this Sunday. We’re hooked, and we can’t figure out why!*Warning: this episode includes spoilers!* * Why are we all obsessed with this show about “specific whites” in the downwardly-mobile Pennsylvania suburbs? * Why the appeal of regional accents? * (Philly accent Youtube recs: Tina Fey, James McAvoy, Kate Winslett)* Does the show have clear politics? Does it redeem the police?* How successfully does it blend multiple genres (cop show, family sitcom, YA romance) into one? * Does the show say something interesting about race and gender?* Comparisons to The Wire, Twin Peaks, Law & Order, The Undoing &c.* Finally, we reveal who actually killed Erin McMenamin??Please share, contact us, and subscribe!* Email: timetosaygoodbyepod@gmail.com* Twitter + DM: https://twitter.com/ttsgpod* Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ttsgpod* Substack: https://goodbye.substack.com/p/support-the-show-through-substack This is a public episode.
