In this episode, we cover:

ABOUT SAM WEISS
While Sam is terrible at writing âAbout Meâs about her, sheâs been told sheâs great at writing about what fictional people do. The more miserable she can make them, the better.
Her love of horror films from the 80s, sci-fi shows from the 90s, and alternative music from the 00s have inspired her to write what sheâs calling âDark Science Fantasyâ although sheâs kind of making that up as she goes along.
