Episode 96: The Soft Hands of an Influencer Prompts: Golden Rod, Nordi, 537 This week's discussion begins with a small update on house hunting and Neal reveals information about why so many people must be driving the Mercedes G Wagons, especially celebrities and realtors apparently. Lauren kicks things off by exploring the fascinating world of Nordic and Scandinavian art. She talks about artists like Anders Zorn, Hammershoy, and Hannah Hirsch Pauly. After breaking down these artists and their great work, Lauren calls for more appreciation for our Scandinavian friends! Neal also goes Nordic by talking about one of the best Norwegian thrillers that not many people have heard about. It's called Headhunters and it stars Game of Thrones standout Nikolaj Coster-Waldau before he got notoriety on the show and is directed by Morten Tyldum. Neal chose the movie, though, because of its connection to the world of fine art to get Lauren interested!
