Seven episodes into A CROWN OF CANDY and it still wasn’t on my bingo card that Brennan would use his food-themed world to do a full frontal assault on diet culture and organized Christianity at the same time. Which is a skill issue on my part, to be sure.
I’ve said elsewhere, in full seriousness, that if the estate of George R. R. Martin doesn’t hire Brennan to finish A Song of Ice & Fire, it’ll be an artistic tragedy. His ability to create GoT feels in real time, at a table full of comedians, in a world where everyone is walking food, just gobsmacks me over and over again. What a great show.
Currently listening: A CROWN OF CANDY e7, “Safe Harbor.”
