Also don't forget the still currently unfolding Spy Cops scandal. There is seemingly no line the UK police will not cross in their pursuit of ghoulishness
Hell yeah 8⁷
If you liked it and want another Steinbeck banger set in the Great Depression you should check out In Dubious Battle. For some reason it gets left out when The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men are mentioned, but it is my favorite of the three. It's about an apple pickers strike in California, and follows the communist organizers trying to lead it.
Goth wolves! What will they think of next?
It was a surprisingly good show, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. Great cast too!
formerly carnivorous plants
This is so cool! Probably a tough sell for a few years though lol
Yup, exactly! But there a ton of other different species of carnivorous plants that aren't flytraps specifically that grow all over. There are actually varieties in equatorial jungles, and all the way north into Canada too
They were also involved in making the show Duckman if you're interested in more. It has that very specific 90s anticapitalism that was allowable in media before 9/11
I think we think it's wild because all the media depictions of them are in cool and interesting places for plot reasons. In my mind they belong with like komodo dragons and birds of paradise or something
I get the exact opposite! I'm really bad at eye contact with strangers, so a lot of times I think I come off as a creepo. But I just want to tell people their shoes are cool or whatever. Guaranteed I would rather be on this side of this type of interaction though, unwanted advances are so uncomfortable
