Ashley there is a debate that has been going around not just the internet, but

film spheres for the last couple of years and you know there's a lot of answers

that you could give to this question but I wanted to ask you right off the top in this episode.

Why are multiverse so popular in pop culture right now?

We're in the era defined as meta-modernism. popular in pop culture right now.

We're in the era defined as meta-modernism

and the multiverse is a big part of it.

What is your theory for why we can't stop talking

about these damn multiverses in 2024.

It's so funny that you bring this up. I've been thinking a lot about multiverses

reading timeline recently, so it's kind of in mind. That's I guess a spoiler if you haven't read a 30 year old book and I think the reason that

Multiverse is really hit with us and hit with us right now is because I we're gonna get real. I think multi verses are kind of like death. I think it's something that we all collectively understand exists, but we cannot quantify and so we're in this era where we're exploring it through our art and if the

multiverse exists then all versions of us exists and that's kind of uplifting.

So you're saying that there might be a world out there where we've conquered

death. Yeah, but there also might be a world out there. It's called Earth Highlander.

Where you're living your dreams. Or where you're so much worse than you are. Or you're a rock. It's exactly. Or you're're a rock.

Exactly.

Or you have hot dog fingers.

It's unknowable.

Or you're married to Jamie Lee Curtis.

That's a good universe.

Honestly, take me to that universe.
