I love this show. Every story is so different yet captures humanity and the strangeness, otherworldly nature of life in LA. I don’t think he’s making any more seasons of the show which is extremely disappointing.
Modern-day California Americana.
I wish every episode of This American Life were this good.
Out of the rotation because of constant errors. For instance, Richard Neutra, not Philip Johnson, designed the church where Robert Schuler preached both to the congregants and a drive-in crowd. This was the predecessor to Johnson’s Crystal Cathedral, which did not have drive-in services. Just sorta sloppy.
I seriously am getting so sad that I’m almost to the end and there won’t be anymore. I have enjoyed the stories so much and it is so great the way they are told. Amazing storyteller and it makes me think about stuff other than the sh*t weighing so heavily on my mind these days.
I’m really into LA stories and I wanted to like this, but I can’t get into it. The Kevin Gage episode was mildly interesting, the Grifters episode really makes the host come off like a jerk, and I was so bored by the episode about the Theremin guy that I didn’t finish it. I get the vibe he’s going for but I don’t think he quite gets there.
