Listen "Episode 38: Jack Black (S50E17)"
Episode Synopsis
Jack Black's 4th time hosting on April 5, 2025 was a refreshingly silly reprieve, from current events and a string of underwhelming episodes. We discuss the implications of the call-and-response-gone-wrong in Weekend Update: Ego Nwodim on the White House Correspondents' Dinner, ethical non-monogamy in Making Love, and the potential of framing to disrupt collective memory in Times Square Kiss. We also discuss The First Play through the lens of learning to engage with media, the psychology of heckling, and imaginative resistance. Entertainment attorney and Newhouse TRF Professor Immy Farukhi also shares his strategy for teaching obscenity and indecency. Readings include developmental and relationship psychology, the context of offense, and the rise of heckling.
