Hey everyone! Welcome back to the podcast, in this episode we are talking about Euphoria! A show that highlights the struggles of the highs and lows of high school football (just kidding). Euphoria is titled as an "emotional realism" based show which follows the battles young adults have with substance abuse, addiction, and general high school friendships/relationships. If you haven't seen it go check it out on HBO! Your hosts for today are Alina, Kelsey, and Marie, where the three discuss S2 of Euphoria and what their takes are on the show. They talk about the diversity of the show, the cinematography, as well as the more graphic parts like the excessive nude scenes and hyper-sexualization of the actresses on set. This episode is pretty packed and listen to the end for a surprise from Kelsey!
