They say the door slams hard behind you when you leave the house of judgment (and by 'they,' we mean pop cyborg Caroline Polachek in her song “Door.”) And what could be more soothing to the confined teenage soul than spending hours in a school bus hurtling toward the gay mecca of San Francisco? In episode six of the HBO Max original series, the gang grabs their fake IDs (with very white names) and heads north to escape overbearing parents & rude societal expectations. Greta in particular has a lot to mull over on the bus ride.... So on this sixth episode of Generation: The Podcast, hosts Gigi Goode & Whembley Sewell reveal the layers of Greta’s journey with the actor who portrays her, Haley Sanchez, as well as series writer Max Saltarelli (who we can thank for the Polachekian soundtrack to the very first time Greta & Riley hold hands) and Generation co-creator Zelda Barnz.
