42 - Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Grab a bucket of water to cool yourself down because we have some hot takes in this episode. We get into the virtues and vices of trying to modernize a classic piece of work and when it's worth it. Jordan and Emily disagree about humanity itself and then try to discern if Bradbury was a "stuffy old man." Grab the fire hoses - the ones with water - because it's about to get lit.
