    Culture Gabfest - James Bond’s Sexistential Retreat Edition

    On this week’s show, Dana is joined by Slate’s own Nadira Goffe and Richard Lawson, of the Critical Darlings podcast. Their first agenda item is Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, the second installment of the workplace comedy/reality show hybrid which places an unknowing everyman in a made-up scenario populated entirely by actors. Does the second season deliver a heart-warming moral test in the form of comedy or a manipulative prank? They discuss. Next for more funhouse mirror television, they take up Bait, the Riz Ahmed-starring and created show about a Riz Ahmed-like actor vying for the role of James Bond. The show is stuffed with ideas and Ahmed’s charm, but they debate whether its conceptual martini sufficiently shaken or stirred. Finally, it’s time to go out, wear something nice, and push as they take a listen to Sexistential, the new album by Swedish dance pop queen Robyn. Though the “Dancing On My Own” singer has a new partner on the dancefloor in her young son, motherhood and midlife make for some real club classics. On a bonus episode for Plus subscribers, they take up the question, as posed in a recent New Yorker article, of whether “plagiarism is that bad?” Endorsements Richard:  The compulsively watchable time travel family drama The Way Home, a Hallmark Channel Original. (And subscribing to Critical Darlings) Nadira: The ten minute disco cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Linda Clifford and the album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA by Slayyyter.  Dana: The new book by Mason Currey Making Art and Making a Living as well as his newsletter Subtle Maneuvers. -- Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.  Podcast production by Benjamin Frisch.

The second with Nina Mandell about an Ohio gymnastics dynasty, chronicled in her book: A Fraction of a Point: A Gymnastics Dynasty on the Line. Finally, Ben closes with an Afterball about the historic and cringey N64 video game Mia Hamm Soccer 64.

March Madness: (6:37): Duke’s demise Bleacher Seats (26:32): The haves and the have-nots Fraction of a Point (42:42): The gymnastics world beaters Afterballs (57:49): Mia Hamm Soccer 64 (Note: time codes are only accurate for Slate Plus members, who listen ad-free.)
