I talk about some fascinating documentaries I’ve seen lately:

- 28 Up (Amazon Prime)
- Love Has Won (HBO/Max)
How/when/why do our “gods” become our human sacrifices?

Music (paid version only): “Brightside of the Sun,” by Basin and Range; “A Different Drum,” by Peter Gabriel; “Time (freestyle) feat. GIFT OF GAB,” by Lateef & Z-Trip; “Bullet and a Target,” by Citizen Cope.
