What this episode covers
A man. A woman. A window. A pitchfork. It’s the most seemingly straightforward double portrait to come out of rural America, and yet it’s become synonymous with ambiguity and mystery, parody and polarization. Amazing how hungry we are to turn a portrait of an artist’s hometown spirit into a portrait of a larger American cultural moment, no matter what it meant to them then, or what it means to us now.
