24 - Richard Dichard Redemption [Whit's Endless Summer #10]

So where's the musical

I was so obsessed with Richard.

On my seventh relisten of this episode because I have brainrot and I usually black out completely into a rabid creature whenever Richard Maxwell is mentioned but I appreciate starting the Richard Maxwell episode with a monologue about sucking penis. It’s what he would’ve wanted.

I did get got by "THE DOUGHNUT IS FULL OF KNIVES!!!"

Why is my blender asking for the nuclear launch codes?

The "oh my god" when mentioning clowns in Chicago really sent me It was such quick-draw on the joke

I think it’s pretty par for the evangelical course for the property damage to a grown man to be taken more seriously by the town than emotional trauma to a young girl, and it was (unfortunately) very realistic that Lucy’s parents had to *convince her* to accept Richard’s apology. It’s not fair and I hate this episode because they even gave her (again, a child who had been groomed) a big “I got off the plane” moment where she chases him down. It made me feel sick; the writers somehow managed to frame Lucy and Richard’s dynamic in a romantic light with that scene. Richard is my all-time favorite recurring character and I wish they could’ve done better but it’s just. So gross. how they portray girls and women as reactions to a man’s decisions rather than actual people.
