    170. Seven Needles to the Dome with Great Many

    Use code DEWYDUDES at greatmany.com for $150 off your next PRP treatment. This week, we chat with Michael Pollak and Steve Klebanow of Great Many, the NoHo studio offering personalized hair loss treatments with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections at its core. Michael and Steve explain how PRP actually works, who it’s for, and why taking early action on hair loss leads to better results. We also talk about the shifting stigma around baldness, the low-grade obsession with hairlines, the limits of DTC telehealth fixes, the soft rebrand of the toupee (sorry, hair system), and how today’s dome maintenance should focus on long-term upkeep.

    169. Creatine Crash Out

    This week, we break down Magazine Dreams (2023), the unsettling and often frustrating indie drama about a troubled Black bodybuilder chasing aesthetic greatness while unraveling under mounting internal and external pressures. We explore the film’s take on masculinity, wellness, and image-obsessed culture, as well as how Jonathan Majors’ real-life domestic violence case—he was found guilty on two misdemeanor charges—reframes his performance. We also examine the film’s quiet, complicated rollout and how Majors’ off-screen scandal complicates its reception and legacy. We also dig into the film’s portrayal of performance culture, the physical extremes of bodybuilding, and its place in a long line of psychologically dark character studies, questioning whether it adds anything new to the genre. Also: gym alienation, performance-enhancing identity, and what happens when self-improvement turns into self-erasure.
