Discussion: Initial thoughts Wish they’d play with the concept a little more – taking control of people’s body Jumanji Anaa – Liked it more than him The Four of Us are DYing Starts off as kind of a goofy bit… slow to change Smelly Warren Stevens’ ability to change on the fly Body Swapping in pop culture Rick and Morty Fallen with Denzel Washington Stray Observations Poor Nathan… losing his agency because of a revenge tale… What do you rate the episode? Ana and Dan Size 7 out 10 7/10 Brandon Choose your Own Endventure Guests  Dan – continue with failing… homeless superstition, then a thrift store Ana – dagget perspective continuing his paranoia Brandon – Bernie takes the shoes off and becomes Nathan… rewarding both men in a twisted way. OR Bernie gets killed and his shoes are possessed. Eventually the final battle after 2 seasons, the shoes fatally maim one another and die slowly, acknowledging that they could’ve done so much more good in the world if they’d only walked the same path SOCIAL You can give me a buzz in the comments below, or hit me up at the following places! * Facebook: Facebook.com/S4YApodcast * Instagram: s4ya_podcast * Twitter: s4ya_podcast * Email: [email protected] * Website: www.apatheticenthusiasm.com/submitted-for-your-approval * iTunes – Head out and leave me a rating and/or review.
