Join Jason and special guest Sean Burns (splicedpersonality@bsky.social) as they discuss Jennifer’s October 14th, 2001, performance on Broadway in the play Proof in a very special bonus experience (not an official official episode). The language is explicit, the mood is weird, and CONTENT WARNING: two Americans talking about 9/11 and not in the way that usually happens in the discourse and things get very heavy. These are two people who’ve been friends since 1993 thanks to Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - they are getting old and it is inescapable.
This is about as discursive as things can get, and Jason’s disfluencies are not minimized as is usually the case in the edit process. Side topics include stagedooring, Mulholland Drive, Joe Coleman, Atlanta Backdrop Foolishness, the state of Broadway, the West Newton Cinema, what it means when your alma mater is fucking it up on a global scale, the Harvey Weinstein Of It All, the good Kicking and Screaming, Oh Mary, nightsoaps, Neil Diamond, what it means to give The Full Jennifer, vomiting fire, JJL as Alia Atreides in the unmade Dune: Messiah, an origin for Adopting The Monster, the cruelty of the passage of time, Josh Hamilton, Daniel Craig, doing a Twin Peaks rewatch, InDigEnt films, Scarlet Diva, the Lincoln Center Theatre Library, what it means when a personality big enough for the movies takes the stage, Madison Square Garden, Dino DeLaurentiis, Jason’s philosophy of camp, Kathryn Hunter, and BritBox.
