An Opera Singer and a Comedian Walk Into a Bar is a segment of the Artists on the Verge podcast which features conversations from the high/low art divide between comedian and TV writer Nicholas Anthony and your host Ema Katrovas.

In this episode, Nick and Ema start reading the chapter on the film and TV industry in Death of the Artist (a book they discussed in the last episode after meeting the author) - which sets them off on some controversial subjects, including women in the film industry, with mixed results (Ema gets something like feminist revenge when she expresses her oddly strong distaste for the movie The Social Network.)

Some things we mention which merit citation:

• The Death of the Artist by William Deresiewitz: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250125514/thedeathoftheartist
• Mr. Beast (in case you don’t understand what Nick means by “Mr Beastification”):  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MrBeast
• The Social Network: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network
