001 Revisiting Pretty Woman: Rich Perverts, Sex Work, and Rugged Individualism
In This Episode
We discuss Jameela Jamil’s recent internet controversy over her coming out as queer to fend off attacks of her being a judge on a voguing show; answer an advice question with the help of guest advice-giver Everett, and then talk about anti-capitalist themes inspired by rewatching 1990’s Pretty Woman and go on record as being pro-sex worker.
