    Lena Dunham’s memoir, Euphoria and the Katy Perry allegations

    This week we’re diving into Lena Dunham’s brilliant but provocative new memoir Famesick, about chronic pain, the toxicity of fame, and the turbulent making of GIRLS. Why is it that Dunham gets so much hate from the media, and is she a reliable narrator? Also on the show: our reviews of Euphoria and the Testaments, the two biggest TV shows of the year. Is Euphoria as “grubby” as the critics are saying, and does The Testaments live up to the Handmaid’s Tale? Plus: Ruby Rose’s disturbing allegations against Katy Perry, the Alex Cooper vs Alix Earle beef, and a quick debrief on Coachella.

    Chappell Roan’s in the news after being accused of making Jude Law’s 11-year-old daughter cry, so this week we’re diving into the debate around celebrity boundaries vs fan behaviour.
