David and Tamler return to the Southern Gothic well and talk about Flannery O'Connor's short story masterpiece "Good Country People." A nihilistic atheist philosophy PhD named Joy or Helga (depending on who you ask) lives with her mother and some tenants on a farm in rural Georgia. One day 19-year-old aw-shucksy Bible salesman comes to the house and shakes up her philosophical convictions. Plus a case study of a sexsomniac who masturbates (and more) in his sleep. <a href= "https://seedandspark.com/fund/boxed-in-ut-thesis-film#story" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Support Eliza's film project</a> [seedandspark.com] Brice, M., Gales, A.
