52. The Americans 3x10, ”Stingers,” with Lilly Goren
Description
WOW, what an episode! John and Danielle call in the reinforcements to help them dissect Season 3 Episode 10 of The Americans, “Stingers.” Your hosts are joined once more by the illustrious Lilly Goren to discuss ALL things Paige, from the reveal to Philip and Elizabeth’s responses to Paige’s reaction as it unfolds over the next day. Together, they unpack the timely drop-in from Stan, and start to consider the deeper implications of this all for the Jennings family. There is a celebratory Dossier discussion, obviously regarding Paige, but they count the Zinaida reveal as a win for Danielle as well. John has feelings about Keri Russell’s Russian accent, and everyone is concerned about Henry’s Eddie Murphy impression. With Lilly’s help, all three think with Leo Strauss (honestly, they can’t believe it either!) in the Cave. Don’t worry, we also have a Foucault-themed TheoryShip, in case you were worried that we went too deep on the Straussian vibe.
