synopsis: Video Data Bank, Chicago
This episode of Peggy And Fred In Hell finds Peggy and Fred, the sole inheritors of post-apocalyptic Earth, weathering a prairie twister and scavenging for sense and sustenance amid the ruined devices of a ghosted culture. The improvised and playful dialogue of the children provides a key to understanding the tape; their distracted sense of make-believe floats between realities, between acting their parts and doing what they want, patching together identities that, like fidgeting children, refuse to stand still.
