Herodias and Salome suck. That was kinda all I had to say, but let me legitimize this comment as someone who's already seen this video: Continual narratives do not suck.

Do you have any podcast? I would gladly listen to it! I could listen to you two for hours!
As always very relevant commentary and great production values.
I remember this one from Gombrich's The Story of Art.
