Pop Culture Is Having an Existential Crisis (So Are We)

What do The Truman Show, Rick and Morty, and a dad sipping McDonald's coffee in a traffic jam have in common?
They’re all asking the same question: Is this it?

In this first episode, we explore how pop culture has become the most honest mirror for our collective existential crisis—through sitcoms, sci-fi, and cartoon horses that somehow understand us better than most people.

Along the way, meet Simon—a middle-aged spreadsheet warrior with a sharp wit and a slowly unravelling sense of meaning. He’s not a philosopher. Just a guy with two kids, a crumbling house, and thoughts that won’t leave him alone.

🎬 If you've ever questioned your purpose between emails, errands, or episodes—this one's for you.
