The very first episode of Berlant and Novak, one week after Poog’s untimely demise. A feat by all, hosts and hags alike. The kids got in the car in the middle of the night with little to go on but a dream. A new show, a new world, but it’s the people that make a place home. The excitement of being in person. Staring at each other’s faces, in an elegant void. Yes that was Poog but this is huge. The ego loves to seek but never to find. It was Berlant and Novak the whole time.
