EP 09 "Don't Body Shame That Possum!"- The Wonder Years (Part 2 of 2)

On part 2 we wrap up The Greatest Generation and move on to No Closer To Heaven and Sister Cities. We talk "Cul-de-sac" and misreading sentimentality as romance, "I Just Want to Sell Out My Funeral" and knowing you did the best with what you've been given, The Lion King game for SNES is jank and the upcoming live action movie, No Closer To Heaven and growing pains, "I Wanted So Badly To Be Brave" and child abuse, trauma and therapy, Sister Cities being their darkest record to date, emotional performativity, possum nipples, pessimism and why it works for me, "Pyramids of Salt" and powerlessness, record release cycles and how hard it is to make a career out of being a musician (based on my limited knowledge of the industry), and wrap things up with a big end of the year thank you!
