Summary

Weird Studies will launch its fourth season on January 6th, 2021. But to celebtrate the end of very strange year, we thought we'd release a conversation which until now was available only to our top-tier Patreon backers. Therein we discuss the philosophical underpinnings of "Puhoy," memorable episode of the brilliant animated series Adventure Time. This was JF's introduction to a show that Phil has often recommended for its novel treatment of complex ideas and downright weirdness.

1:08.4	so that for them, Weird studies is almost a weekly show.
1:12.4	I say almost because the extras tend to be shorter, less formal, and more improvisational than
1:17.8	the main show, though this doesn't mean for a minute that they're any less special to us.
1:22.5	In fact, some of them rank among our favorite conversations. If you like what you hear today
