Yassir Lester's Spark Is Alex Garland's Devs

from The Spark Parade

This week, I'm doing a deep dive into the brain melting world of Alex Garland's limited TV series Devs with comedian, writer and actor Yassir Lester (Black Monday, Duncanville).  We dig into the brilliance of Alex Garland's body of work, geek out over other genre fair (like Watchmen!) and wax poetic about the philosophical and existential themes in Devs.  It's truly one of the best conversations I've had yet!  Warning: if you haven't watched Devs yet, spoilers abound.   Links:Yassir LesterDevsBarb And Star Go To Vista Del MarAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyThe Spark Parade is a podcast that dives deep into the films and albums that have inspired today’s creative icons.
