oedipus

Både Niels Kristian og Anders har været på sommerferie, og Anders har hjembragt lidt øl fra det Hollandske, som der bliver smagt på. De er købt blindt, altså uden forudgående research, og der er heller ikke kigger på Untappd på forhånd.

Under optagelserne døjede vi en del med tekniske udfordringer,  men det meste skulle være klaret i efterbehandlingen, men et par enkelte steder mangler et enkelt ord. Det skulle være til at gætte hvad der bliver sagt. 

Husk at følge os på Facebook og Instagram, hvor du kan stille spørgsmål, komme med med gode idéer, forslag til øl eller ølrelaterede emner, som kunne være spændende vi tager op.

Abby, Patrick, and Dan get into the great Oedipal drama of our times: Succession. They discuss a ludicrously capacious number of versions of the Oedipus story; the development of the Oedipus complex throughout Freud’s writing; Freud’s notion of the primal father and the band of brothers who gather together to overthrow him; the real-life billionaire primitive accumulation monster dads who want to reverse-age themselves and live forever; Succession’s Oedipal double binds and Oedipal victories; how the show thematizes patrimony, inheritance, and destiny; what it is to have “the phallus” (and why the Roy kids don’t have it); Shiv as thwarted phallic mother; and Kendall’s symbolic castration.

The Atlantic article referenced in the episode is, “The Secret Fears of the Super Rich,” by Graeme Wood: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/04/secret-fears-of-the-super-rich/308419/

Boston Radio and WBCN legend, Oedipus, is someone who seems to have said yes to everything.  

Oedipus got his start as an intern in college radio in the 70’s and worked his way into the WBCN family, creating the Boston Radio powerhouse that BCN became.    

With his cutting-edge pink hair and his love of punk and new wave music, the musicians that made up the Boston bands like DMZ and The Real Kids, many of whom slept on his floor in his small Beacon Hill apartment, paved the way for other bands to break out.   WBCN introduced Boston and the world to The Police, The Clash, The Ramones, and U2 to name just a few.  

We don’t get to ask too many questions in this episode, which is fine with us.  Oedipus has enough stories to fill several episodes.  But we’ll keep it to just this one. 

Sophocles' Oedipus Rex is a Greek tragedy about Oedipus, who is fated to kill his father and marry his mother.

S1 E9: The Cretin of the Shallows. The Night Puncher teaches us how to punch with knives! Eddie has a weird date! The Magical Boat Delivery Wheel delivers us a very slow and very boring chase scene! We have technical difficulties that require us to rely on our lower quality backup recording! Just a real episode of an episode.
