This episode of RIP Corp is about the afterlives of corporate merch—as a collector's item, as nostalgia play, as irony-laden artifact representing the hubris of capitalism—and the ways people live with these artifacts and the legacies attached to them. It's also about RIP Corp having merch now! Sorry.
