American Boomer
Nostalgia. Narcissism. Survival.
A satirical cultural autopsy of the generation that reshaped modern America.
Part comedy, part psychological excavation, American Boomer explores how television, consumer culture, divorce, emotional neglect, self-help ideology, politics, and performance transformed the emotional architecture of the American family.
Not every Boomer is the same.
But something happened to this generation — and the rest of us inherited the aftermath.
Funny, uncomfortable, strangely therapeutic.
