Ep 18. The Mentalist ft. Crystal Watanabe
🔮 “There’s no such thing as psychics” 🔮
Our cracking guest Crystal Watanabe (aka @pikkotheeditor of the Rom Com Detectives) leads the conversation on The Mentalist. We get into the dubious value of the slow burn romance, the safety of watching chaotic characters from a distance (and the relief that they don’t exist in our real lives!) and the benefits/dangers of relying on one narrative thread to carry the story through seven seasons. Tangents include….
The work that goes into maintaining a fandom community, and how much it can bring back to you
The value and fulfilment of finding media that inspires you to create something if your own
The seemingly universal fascination with true crime and supervillains
You can find more of Crystal on her….
