Hillbilly Elegy

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED A LONG TIME AGO SO SOME THINGS ARE OUT OF DATE. This week we talk more failed-Oscarbait from Netflix, Ron Howard's Hillbilly Elegy.

Miss Americana

Documentary week on our Netflix season! This week, we're deep-diving on the Taylor Swift doco Miss Americana. We try for as long as possible to not be cynical as we pick apart the well-constructed but ultimately flat documentary on pop sensation before becoming quite cynical about its production and Netflix's distribution.
