Show Notes: S05, E08 - My Whole Identity is a Lie!
This week, we're helping one pickle deal with an identity crisis, another deal with an annoying colleague, and a third resolve the rage they feel when people get things wrong. And all this while recommending art like The Da Vinci Code, Jimmy Eat World, John Le Carre and much, much more.
Here's all the art we recommended.
(Art we only mentioned in passing, and never intended as a problem-solving recommendation, is in italics.)
Underlined items are this week's top picks from each of our presenters. If you're only going to try one of the pieces of art we mentioned, try these ones first.

Corrections
- Karl called Jennifer Garner “Jessica Garner” several times. He is deeply sorry for the mistake.
