No Script: The Podcast | S5 Episode 3: "The Humans" by Stephen Karam

When the Blake family decides to hold their Thanksgiving in a mostly empty, slightly spooky two-floor apartment in Manhattan, deeply held secrets and insecurities boil to the surface. Stephen Karam's "The Humans" is an empathetic look at this family and their individual and corporate joy and pain. Listen in this week as Jackson and Jacob discuss how Karam plays on standard psychological realism tropes.   ------------------------------ Please consider supporting us on Patreon.
