The following podcast contains explicit language.

I'm Stephen MacKaff and this is the Sla Culture Gap Fest. Our Poetry is Bad Edition.

It's Wednesday, September 11th, 2019. On today's show, American Factory was a big winner at Sundance.

It's now a documentary on Netflix.

It's also notable for being the first one distributed by Barack and Michelle Obama.

In addition to all that, it's a remarkable document

of the American experiment in the age of a global economy.

It's an amazing movie. And then Lana Del Rey has come a long way since being written off as a rich kid and a sued, a manufactured pop sensation, her new record Norman

fucking Rockwell is a triumph of both attitude and substance. And finally, get thee

to a completed manuscript in which Dana returns from her stint at a nunnery.

Joining me today is Julia Turner, who is a deputy managing editor of the LA Times.

Hey Julia. Hello, L.A. Times, hey Julia.

Hello, hello.

And of course, Dana Stevens, the film critic for Slate magazine,

has returned Dana.

Hey.

Hello, blessing, Stephen. Bless, blessing Stephen.

Blessings on you.

Oh my God.

All right, now is it really true when you put one of those habits on you can fly?

We will get there but

this whole episode is going to be like bad disrespectful nun jokes.
