Eminem made two really good CD’s and accidentally remade Bicycle Thieves in the form of 8 Mile, then got addicted to drugs went to rehab and reinvented himself as the technically goodest rapper alive. For this, the world has deemed him a cultural force on par with at least Elvis or somebody and now there’s a documentary about his fans called Stans which is the thing this episode is technically about. But mainly we’re just talking about how good Eminem used to be and how much he definitely has not gone to therapy. This episode is not Eminem hagiography but does find us making fun of Eminem hagiography.
