The American Ep 1

Today we bring you our discussion of The Americans. We are joined
by Marianne Garneau, who completed her PhD in Philosophy from the
New School for Social Research. We discuss such things as
how rare it is to see a show about marriage, our difficulty
following espionage plots, the trope of the Refrigerator Woman,
rape as a lazy plot device, 80's aesthetic, pantomiming desire,
sexpositions, and so much more!


CONTENT NOTE: We talk about sexual assault and rape in this
episode.


SPOILER ALERT: We speak mostly about the early episodes of the
series, but there are references to select things down the line.
