Episode 09: Grimes

This week, we recap the foundational STARGIRL themes: the nature-artifice continuum, ripe/dead, and the quest for narrative control. Then, we analyze one of the world's highest-profile MPDGs, Grimes, and discuss the power/limits of self-mythology and caricature, how to safely court Evil, and the deep threat of the effortless Weird Girl.
