This week, we are joined by special guest Grace (of Lord of the Rings marathon fame), who shares two of her favorite works with us. Will she convert us to fans, or will it all crash and burn? Find out in the new longest episode in podcast history! (That's kind of a hint right there)

Music: Melodrama (2017) by Lorde

Film: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), directed by Michel Gondry

This week we dive into two new genres! We start off in Intelligent Dance Music with Boards of Canada's critically acclaimed 1998 album. Then we journey into the world of Horror with The Exorcist and learn about the cursed production of the film. Is this episode cursed, too? It took me triple the amount of time to edit it so maybe!

This week we cover two huge works; huge because of their potential, not because of what they actually are. We start with Katy Perry's second comeback album that flopped almost as much as this week's movie.
