January 12, 2023 Hillbilly Elegy
THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED A LONG TIME AGO SO SOME THINGS ARE OUT OF DATE.

This week we talk more failed-Oscarbait from Netflix, Ron Howard's Hillbilly Elegy. We talk structure, characters, messaging, a concluding a story like this. Fair warning: we get a little bit political...

January 06, 2022 Miss Americana
Documentary week on our Netflix season! This week, we're deep-diving on the Taylor Swift doco Miss Americana. We try for as long as possible to not be cynical as we pick apart the well-constructed but ultimately flat documentary on pop sensation before becoming quite cynical about its production and Netflix's distribution.
