In this episode, Josh and Sean dive into the strange fascination people have with the tragedy of 9/11 and the world-changing events at the World Trade Centre. Sean opens up about his own deep curiosity for the disaster and wonders whether it’s tied to his own history of trauma.
The conversation explores the lasting health impacts faced by those who lived, worked, or volunteered near Ground Zero, and how similar struggles are now being endured by survivors of the ongoing destruction in Gaza.
Things lighten up (sort of) as the pair revisit the cult classic The Lost Boys, discussing its enduring influence on pop culture, the darkness behind its legacy, and the heartbreaking story of young star Corey Haim.
It’s another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) that looks at the messy intersections of memory, media, and meaning.
Enjoy the ride!
