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.

    19: "Denials" (S3E6)

    In this episode about how we sometimes cling to the well-worn paths in life, at least one part of the story goes way the f#%k off into uncharted territory, and we’re glad to be joined by our friend Jenny Ryan to help try and make sense of it all.

    18: "Full-Moon Party" (S3E5)

    Well, okay then. I mean you know this is all your fault for complaining nothing was happening on this show, right? Just kidding, but what an episode — all about fluidity of identity, losing inhibitions, and the never-ending carousel of lust and suffering — and we were pretty fascinated with all of it. The wheels have come off the bus.

    The simmer of this show is edging towards a boil, as Rick finally reveals his true purpose in Thailand, Timothy learns his impending terrible fate, Belinda discovers the truth about Greg, and Jaclyn, Laurie, and Kate have a messed-up day.  LISA - FUTW (Vixi Solo Version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5VRqWkFpEQ Next up: The White Lotus S3E5 “Full-Moon Party”.

    16: "The Meaning of Dreams" (S3E3)

    The White Lotus may be a slow burn, but we always find it a fascinatingly, engagingly watchable one. This week we particularly enjoyed Lochlan’s “posture correction” session that turned out to be a disconcertingly accurate look into his soul (lol), Rick’s outing to get some weed, and yeah even Laurie, Jaclyn, and Kate talking politics.  Next up: The White Lotus S3E4 “Hide or Seek”.

    15: "Special Treatments" (S3E2)

    Welcome everyone. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy an eclectic blend of soothing, relaxing backbiting, armed robbery, and confusing sexual dynamics among siblings in that special way that only The White Lotus can deliver. Lol.  Next up: The White Lotus S3E3 “The Meaning of Dreams”. Once you’ve seen it, let us know your thoughts.

    14: "Same Spirits, New Forms" (S3E1)

    Ah so good to be back in the land of beautiful environments and cringy people :) As promised, we’re seeing shades of spirituality, Eastern religion, and death, with the usual dash of entitlement and strained interpersonal dynamics that we love so much. Join Randy, Jenny, and Jason to talk it through.  Next up: The White Lotus S3E2 “Special Treatments”. Once you’ve seen it, let us know your thoughts.

    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).

    Things are getting dark in this second-to-last episode of The White Lotus season 2, with suspicion and threats everywhere. We’re happy to be joined this time by special guest Jenny Ryan! If you’ve seen S2 already, be sure to stick around for the spoilery segment at the end.
