from The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal · host Driftglass and Blue Gal
Multiversal success and failure. Success? Star Trek TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror," and the 2017 Starz series, "Counterpart." Failure?

(The Heinlein novel has some sexual situations that are discussed in this episode.) And you can hear Patton Oswalt's magnificent Parks and Rec filibuster concerning "multiverses" here.
