Episode 3 — Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey, Authenticity, Criticism

Gus & Tony get inspired by an article from the Atlantic by James Parker that uses vivid imagery to describe the music & voices of Lana & Miley, discuss whether criticism is worth spending time on, analyze Lana Del Rey's song Video Games, Sinatrafy Miley Cyrus's song Flowers, and stick to their allotted time.
