In this Deep Dive episode, our hosts discuss the broader consequences of a notable 1927 event, the legacy of Rutherford B. Hayes, and a recurring cinematic motif in Pulp Fiction.
- 📜 The hosts analyze a 1927 historical moment as an anchor for the era — how contemporaneous reactions exposed political climates, revealed technical and logistical system limits, prompted policy reassessments, and reshaped planning, operations, and resource allocation.
- 🎂 We celebrate the birthdays of Rutherford B. Hayes, Charlton Heston, and Buster Keaton, with a focused look at Hayes’s role as the 19th President — his post-Reconstruction priorities, civil service reform, commitment to education and social justice, and how his emphasis on merit-based appointments influenced governance and implementation of policy.
- 💡 Fact of the day: all the clocks in Pulp Fiction are set to 4:20 — Cassandra and Alexander explore how this repeated detail works as a visual motif, evokes cultural meaning, and adds subtext and political texture to the film’s storytelling.
