The Joy of Sucking at Something | Elden Ring & Adults on FX

Talking out loud about the stuff that won’t leave us alone. We’re back! After a two-month summer hiatus, James and Curt return from the trenches of Poe Party and StarKid’s Tomb Quest to talk about exhaustion, understudies, staying present onstage, ensemble comedies, failing at games and the strange miracle of live theatre actually coming together. This week James brings FX’s Adults, which leads us into a conversation about why we miss sitcoms, characters who are allowed to be messy and cringe, and the value of vulnerability in comedy. We also get into how social media has changed entertainment, the pressure on actors to become content creators, and why trying to follow someone else’s path to success can pull you further away from the work that actually feels like you. Curt brings Elden Ring after finally deciding to stop fighting against what the game was asking of him and embrace being bad at something. It's a discussion about failure, patience, mastery, friction, and the unexpected satisfaction of doing something over and over until it finally clicks. So… what are you into right now?
