Episode 23: Roland (What if Tom Cruise's disembodied head possessed Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man?)

This episode should be extremely cringey and, in some ways, I suppose it is. And I suppose it's also the sort of thing that would get dragged through the mud in this day and age because they cast non disabled actors to play disabled characters in a TV show.

But, in any case, it does have a rather intriguing concept; and those non disabled actors do give convincing performances as disabled characters. You can tell the actors did their research, probably spent some time around people like those they were portraying. And the result is a well-crafted, entertaining episode that transcends its cringey nature by just being a solid, compelling story.

For this episode, I am joined by Jared Kilbourne - a friend of the podcast and confessed X-Files fan.

We had a nice chat.

Dig in.
