Show Notes: S06, E04 - Will I Ever Be Smarter than My Wife?
This week, we're saving the planet, one brainworm at a time - and we want you to join us on that quest. Along the way, we'll be talking about A Bug's Life, The Boy is Mine, The Café at the Edge of the Woods, and so much more wonderful art that you'd be a fool to miss…
Here's all the art we recommended.
(Art we only mentioned in passing, and never intended as a problem-solving recommendation, is in italics.)
Bold items are this week's top picks from each of our presenters. If you're only going to try one of the pieces of art we mentioned, try these ones first.
