Marc Maron is back with a brand new episode in season 3 of his hit show Maron, and this time he's got a former flame on the podcast. The episode, titled Ex-Pod, follows Maron as he sits down with his ex-girlfriend, played by actress and comedian Tig Notaro, to hash out some old feelings and maybe even find a little closure.
The episode begins with Maron preparing for his interview with Tig by obsessively researching her on the internet and freaking out about what to wear. He's clearly nervous about the whole thing, but when Tig finally arrives and they begin talking, it quickly becomes clear that there's still a lot of chemistry between them.
As they chat and reminisce about their past relationship, it becomes clear that there's still a lot of unresolved tension between the two of them. Maron grills Tig about why she broke up with him and whether she regrets it, while Tig tries to explain her side of things and make it clear that she's moved on.
Throughout the episode, Maron and Tig's banter is funny and insightful, with plenty of awkward silences and tense moments as they try to navigate their complicated history. There are also some more serious moments as they discuss some of the darker aspects of their relationship, such as Maron's addiction issues and Tig's struggles with illness.
Overall, Ex-Pod is a satisfying episode that delves into some complex emotional territory while still managing to be funny and entertaining. It's a great showcase for Maron's skills as a host and interviewer, as well as for Notaro's considerable comedic talents. Fans of the show won't want to miss it.
