The Media Circus (Part 2) - Spies and Sunny Holes
The Runaway
Carl and Julia return to review some more media featuring circus - this time we tackle the trapeze fight in "The Spy who Dumped Me" and that one Dior ad (you know the one). Take a listen if you want to hear what it sounds like when three circus artists' souls astral-project from their bodies and fly out through a sunny hole in the sky.
