Happy Elyse-writes-the-description-late day!

Guess who's 23 and bad at Wordle? You'll have to listen to find out. You'll also have to listen to hear about the two shows chosen for this week - Claire brings us The Bold Type, and Elyse pulls in UnREAL. The Bold Type is, according to Claire, a "genuinely terrible show." Despite this, they highly recommend. The show itself centers around women working in magazine publication and has some problems with plot continuity, in the most entertaining way. Our second show this week, UnREAL, is a drama that satirizes the world of reality TV - pointing a magnifying glass to the ugly side of trashy television.

Before we go:

Claire: Don't Look Up, a movie which serves as a thinly-veiled metaphor for climate change and is filled to the brim with big names and memeable potential (usually in the form of Timothee Chama--Chala...Ch... That guy.) The only question we're left asking at the end is... why did he make them pay for the snacks??

Elyse: Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusions by Jia Tolentino. A series of personal essays ranging from feminism, to the evolution of internet culture, to starring in reality TV (topical!). 

Warning: This episode contains plot spoilers for the television series The Bold Type and UnREAL.
