Welcome to the White Lotus

The White Lotus is a lush, cringy masterpiece, wryly exposing the foibles of privilege and wealth, exploring class, sexuality, grief, morality, and human psychology, among many other things. It’s smartly written, beautifully filmed, well-acted, and we think it’s funny AF. Join us as we explore the nuances of this standout show. You can join in and be a part of the discussion. Write to us or send a voice message to talk@podcastica.com and we’ll respond on the podcast. We’re Podcastica and we’ve been doing episode-by-episode deep dives into amazing TV shows for over a decade now. Check out our other fare at Podcastica.com.

    13: "Arrivederci" (S2E7)

    Things go all Tarantino in the wildly surprising season two finale! And of course, we get into some deep discussions about sexuality, infidelity, and desire, ‘cuz we aim to please :P And that’s it for our coverage of The White Lotus for awhile, until we get S3. Thanks for listening everybody. It was seriously fun and endlessly fascinating to talk about this type of show, with this group of hosts, and you guys writing and calling in. As I said, keep us in your feeds if you want to hear us talk The White Lotus: Thailand, and maybe we’ll drop an episode or two in the meantime. Ciao for now :) PS Need something to tide you over? We’re part of a network and we cover a bunch of other shows. If you haven’t checked any of them out, you can find them at podcastica.com/podcasts. A few that White Lotus fans might particularly like: Yellowjackets wtf? (on the amazingly great thriller/black comedy/drama starring Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, and Melanie Lynksey on Showtime), Murder Magnets: A Poker Face Podcast (on the supremely fun Rian Johnson-produced crime comedy-drama starring Natasha Lyonne), and Dead to Us (on the excellent Christina Applegate / Linda Cardellini black comedy-drama Dead to Me on Netflix).

    11: "That's Amore" (S2E5)

    Lots of possible game playing (and definite game playing) going on at the White Lotus this week, with lies, cheating, everyone messing with each other, and possible scams afoot!

    10: "In the Sandbox" (S2E4)

    We spent most of this episode naming off condom brands. Enjoy! Note that we forgot to mention on the podcast: Next week’s ep will be out a few days later, as Jason and Randy are in Boston for a meetup with the Zedheads (my super-fun Patreon group).

    9: "Bull Elephants" (S2E3)

    This ep spurred a lot of talk about gender, what comes naturally to us vs. what is a social construct, the difference between flirting and harassment, addiction, and a lot more. We know, it’s supposed to be a fun sex comedy :) We definitely had fun talking about it, and we would seriously love to know your thoughts too.

    8: "Italian Dream" (S2E2)

    This show feels like a study in psychology and human sexual behavior, as we try to figure out what everyone wants and what their true intentions are, and whether they even understand themselves.
