S1 EP4: Bahld Harmon (Also: Is Ron Really Crazy?)

In this episode of The Chair Company Files, Mike and Carlos unpack Episode 4’s big swing: flashbacks that deepen Ron’s backstory and sharpen the show’s blend of comedy, horror, and suburban dread. They debate whether Ron’s unraveling is a Fight Club–style delusion or a real conspiracy, and dig into themes of authenticity, fractured modern systems, and male identity anxiety. The conversation hits family dynamics (Barb and Natalie’s “I love you, I trust you, I got you” mantra), weird identity mix-ups (modeling calls, eBay guy), and whether this episode is this season's biggest turning point.
