Martin “Marty” Castillo. Edward James Olmos, who won the Best Supporting Actor Emmy for his work in season one, had a unique agreement with executive producer Michael Mann to play the part, including a non-exclusive contract and full creative control of his character, and over the course of the five episodes featured on this show we discover increasingly incredible facts about Castillo's life history and skill sets that climax midway through season two in a mind-blowing episode Olmos also directed, Bushido. We discuss Olmos' fascinating process to build and expand upon his character, the only episode of the show Mann ever wrote, and Sarah's regard for Castillo in her autistic headcanon.

We reference this article by Sim Kern for Salon titled No, Billionaires Won't “Escape” To Space While The World Burns. Next up we chat about the awful anti-lockdown protests that Australian cities saw over the weekend. One infamous internet “star” was spotted rallying the crowds. We discuss Australia's obsession with platforming harmful people and the lone wolf narrative. Jas recommends comedy/thriller I Care A Lot while Maggie recommends the Netflix series Atypical. Maggie reads from this Time article Atypical Fell Short as Both Autistic Representation and Entertainment.

Is there anything more mysterious and more fundamental to our lives than the human brain? But do any of us really understand how our brains work, where consciousness comes from or how best to deal with our unique quirks of perception? This episode features Stephen Brockwell in conversation with neuroscientist David Eagleman and Nina Jane Drystek in conversation with autistic self advocate and essayist Sarah Kurchak. Sarah Kurchak is autistic. She hasn't let that get in the way of pursuing her dream to become a writer, or to find love, but she has let it get in the way of being in the same room with someone chewing food loudly, and of cleaning her bathroom sink. In I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder, Kurchak examines the Byzantine steps she took to become “an autistic success story,” how the process almost ruined her life and how she is now trying to recover. In his new bestseller, Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain, best-selling author and neuroscientist, David Eagleman, takes us on a thrilling journey of discovery. The brain is often portrayed as an organ with different regions dedicated to specific tasks. But that textbook model is wrong. The brain is a dynamic system, constantly modifying its own circuitry to match the demands of the environment and the body in which it finds itself.

When you are expressing gratitude these days, are you appropriately prayer-hand-emoji for video streaming (and, frankly, the streaming wars that are keeping us so deep in good content)? We’re taking this week’s ep as an opportunity to really lay our thanks on thick—for The Fight, I May Destroy You, Shrill, and Love on the Spectrum specifically. Light spoilers in some spots (and possibly too much excitement in others).   The linkage:   First things first: boiled potatoes!! With seafood, in a niçoise salad, and as leftovers...which gets you halfway to fried or roasted potatoes like Julia Turshen’s Kinda Sorta Patatas Bravas or these crispy roasted potatoes with burrata.   Also, congrats to white potatoes on joining the Whole30 club. Sorry the announcement of this news didn’t feature a more flattering photo of you all.   Ok, second things second: our watch list. The Fight available for rent on various platforms, I May Destroy You on HBO Max, Shrill (Season 2 specifically) on Hulu, and Love on the Spectrum on Netflix.    Some further reading around Love on the Spectrum: a Time review by Sarah Kurchak, an article from The Cut that runs through the criticisms, and a piece from the Los Angeles Times that gets into the filming behind-the-scenes.   What else should we be watching?
