    Episode 12: "Recount"-moi une Histoire

    This week, we‘re breaking down Jay Roach’s 2008 HBO film “Recount," concerning the controversial and contested 2000 U.S. Presidential election. Laura Dern's mesmerizing role as Katherine Harris, one of the key players in electing George W. Bush, earned her a Golden Globe. Join us as we discuss this totally normal and completely uneventful topic in American history. This episode was recorded before the murder of George Floyd, so we didn’t get the chance to address the current climate of our country. We wholeheartedly support the Black Lives Matter movement as well as the protestors that are fighting for what’s right. Please refer to the link in our Instagram bio (@nepotismcanbegood) for resources to support the Black community. If you are able to protest, let your voice be heard. We stand with you.
