| 0:12.3 | I'm Stephen McHaff, and this is the Slate Culture Gapfest, hashtag no filter edition. |
| 0:17.0 | It's Wednesday, August 30th, 2017. |
| 0:19.8 | On today's show, the indie movie, Ingrid Goes West. It's a chilling social media satire starring Aubrey Plaza as the sadly demented fan of an Instagram star who is played by Elizabeth Olson. And then Rick and Morty is a wild and kooky cartoon jaunt on the cartoon network. It's part of Adult Swim franchise and my daughter loves it for what it's worth. |
| 0:39.3 | And finally, Slate's own Aisha Harris goes on an ethnographic exploration of yes, it's true. |

| 1:29.9 | Yeah, a friend of my older sisters played like the court jester and I think I ate a turkey leg. |
| 1:34.7 | I love it. Isaac Butler, I should say in addition to being a major, major FOP, friend of the program is a writer and slate contributor and co-author of The World Only Spins Forward, |
| 1:45.2 | The Ascent of Angels in America, which I'm excited to say you can now pre-order on Amazon. |
| 1:50.1 | He co-authored it with Dan Coase, no idea who that guy is. |
| 1:54.5 | And we're joined by Slate's film critic Danny Stevens. Hey, Dana. |
