A family dinner, a picnic in the woods\u2014what could be more innocent? Well, in\u00a0Ada, or Ardor<\/em>, everything is tinged with a baseline feeling of “kind of creepy,” especially the “passionate pump-joy exertions.” Chad and Brian break it all down, talking about Demon, unraveling Nabokovian puns, finding subtle hints about Van’s true parentage, and, at the end, unveiling Season 14’s book.<\/p>\n
