S5 E11 | We Need to Talk About Jessica Mitford: the Problem With American Funerals

It’s 1963, and famous communist slash journalist slash British ex-pat slash all-around badass Jessica Mitford discovers the American public is being absolutely swindled by the American funerary system. So what’s she going to do about it? She’s going to write an expose called The American Way of Death, and then she’s going to watch patiently as panicked funeral directors and morticians accuse her of being a communist and therefore not worthy of having opinions or something. And after that, she’s going to do the funniest thing possible: she’s going to die and spend almost nothing on her own funeral.
Also, Hitler (yeah, that one) is in this episode in a bunch of ways you could not expect, which is our version of the worst surprise party ever.
