Find Your Interstellar: Why Some Art Ages Well

Find Your Interstellar: Why Some Art Ages Well2 Jun29 min

Interstellar wasn't a phenomenon when it dropped in 2014. Now it's widely seen as a masterpiece. It’s more popular now than it was on release.

How does that happen? Can we see it coming?

In this solo episode, we break down the mechanics of a cultural reappraisal: why some polarizing work ages into greatness, and why other art quietly disappears. From Yeezus to Reasonable Doubt, Mr. Brightside to Cruel Summer, the pattern is more predictable than you'd think.
