Episode 5
Quick question: did we all have fantasies about being able to astral project when we were kids, and did those fantasies evaporate once we all got our drivers' licenses? Asking for a friend!
Astral projection acts as an allegory for escapism from the stresses of life in this episode. Capitalism sucks, the 90's treatment of "gifted children" was highly misguided, and it turns out humans need enough free time to experience boredom in order to live up to their full potential. Sometimes that full potential is creating podcasts about 90s children's sci-fi, and THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
