Last month, I sat down with

for the duration of a feature length film to talk about… well, everything.

The scam that is the music industry and how artists are exploited within an ecosystem where they are set up to fail.

What artists owe to their fans and the culture at large.

Our elder millennial nostalgia for the early 2000s (and how Michael’s music is part of that nostalgia for so many).

Mental health, neuro-atypicality, and how the difference between regular shame (the kind that makes you feel guilty about liking certain things you deem “uncool”) and clinical shame (the kind you talk to your therapist about) might make or break your music taste.

And that’s just a start.

We had fun.

We’ll do it again.

Enjoy.
