Carley and Blair jump forward in time to review two stageplays related to the Salem witch trials: Arthur Miller's 1952 McCarthyism allegory The Crucible, and Kimberly Belflower's 21st-century response, John Proctor is the Villain. Plus, a mini-episode on the Red Scare! Also, Carley was on Canada's version of The View. Also: letting the Brits have things, the constitutions of English teachers and alpaca farming constitutions, being the mysterious outsider in a small town, behind the scenes of The Social, nice Karens, impressing your childhood self, compliments from older generations, comparisons to celebrities, John Proctor as a Mary Sue, John Proctor as a bad husband, John Proctor as a bad father, 60’s liberalism being outdated, Joe DiMaggio, the baseball song from Falsettos, Marilyn Monroe and her marriage to Arthur Miller, hot old men, the Japanese Army being too good, whether to trust toilet paper, Zoe Kazan’s grandfather, bringing your views into your writing, your fave is problematic, and Communist eating habits.
