Here's how the conversation about this went in my house when we started watching Widow's Bay: "The creator did that 'dressed like the Babadook at a grown-up Halloween party' tweet." "What tweet?" "The one where somebody... went to a grown-up Halloween party... dressed like the Babadook."

Dan Devine@yourmandevine.bsky.social · 3w agoI also left struck by just how wide and long-lasting a cultural footprint he has. Like, if you've liked a piece of comedy or just a silly thing at any point over the last, say, 45 years, there's an excellent chance he's directly worked with or obliquely influenced its makers. What a wonderful thing!
I’d been looking forward to this episode, and it was as great as I thought it would be.

This is such a FUN interview. I'll never not be obsessed with Alex Horne's ability to throw out a joke and not react AT ALL. His comedic timing absolutely kills me. "I'm Camilla."

I listened back to this, from 2015. I think even if you were (quite reasonably) hurt or angry about his incrementalism around trans rights, I think it is worth a listen. Pretty fascinating and remarkable man.
