What: Partway through the third episode of the second season of One Mississippi, Tig Notaro (playing a version of herself) and Stephanie Allynne (playing not really herself at all) have a fantasy sequence musical interlude. They sing a bit of "Ring of Keys," one of the standout songs from the standout show Fun Home.
I love these magical realism bits of One Mississippi, and this one is particularly well chosen. The snippet of lyrics fits the moment, but those familiar with Fun Home get gut-punched with some additional emotional layers, too.
How to get it: Watch One Mississippi (including this episode, "Kiss Me and Smile for Me") on Amazon, and listen to the cast recording for Fun Home wherever you get your music. If you're interested, there's a lyric video for "Ring of Keys" here.
Connection to previous Wreckage: Season 2 of this show also gives us the marvelous Sheryl Lee Ralph (Rec. #420).
