Neal compares your child to the Mona Lisa, throws a spanner in the works of the stopped clock twice a day cliche, reveals why a TV free family would pivot to compulsory viewing targets, wonders if homing pigeons suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, tries to understand porridge people, recalls the post-war heyday of sugary cereals, tells how to distinguish tea from coffee, proposes cutting out the middle man for manure-based plant nutrients (but it’s not what you think), changes your mind about your apartment that you think is a basement, heralds the return of TV channel nighttime closedown, remembers the era of answering machines in sitcoms and The Twilight Zone, exposes the Orwellian torture of telephony and discusses black packaging on energy drinks and corn snacks, why David Bowie’s death is even more final than hoped, Bowie’s drum and base album and flag wearing, the Breaking Bad bath melting scene and quite a lot more.

MENTIONED: Twelve Angry Men (1957), Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker.
