Binge Yap Repeat

In this episode, Ruchi and Shalini head into the wonderfully messy world of Netflix’s East of Eden, unpacking its connection to John Steinbeck’s classic novel and asking the age-old question: are we born this way, or do we have power over who we become? They dive into Cain and Abel, family drama, morality, rejection, identity, and the ways our environment can shape who we become. Plus, they get into character development, honesty, historical context, and why East of Eden is basically one giant case study in complicated people making complicated choices.
