Welkom bij De Schemerzone. In deze eerste aflevering stellen we ons voor en bespreken we drie onderwerpen die ons deze week opvielen. We praten over Catch festival en waar de vrouwen gebleven zijn (spoiler: niet op de line-up). Over de Super Bowl en hoe we Janet Jackson collectief tekort hebben gedaan. En als kers op de taart bespreken we de matrix van het kapitalisme door een artikel onder de loop te nemen over perfectionisme - en vervolgens, “heel meta”, te bekennen dat dit ook in de maak van De Schemerzone terugkwam.
