When you’re dealing with unwanted supernatural powers and deep questions of life, death, and morality, what you really need is a slice or two of pie. This week, we’re crossing over whimsical murder-mystery tv series Pushing Daisies with seminal theatrical work Angels in America. Check us out on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher for a conversation about new band Fancy Boy Shark, being 10% Lindsay Lohan, Annie’s very late workshop notes for Tony Kushner, and lots of people eating pie together.
Where you can find this pop culture (as of show date):
- Pushing Daisies is available to rent/download on platforms like Amazon and iTunes.
- Angels in America is now playing at the National Theatre in London, and it looks like they’ll be doing a broadcast of the production in the states via National Theatre Live, so check your local listings. You can also check out the movie version on HBO.
