Episode 2: Seinfeld Finale, Oscar-Winning Sex Workers, and the Met Gala

Felipe and Lesa are back with a packed episode. They kick things off with On This Day in TV, revisiting May 14th when Seinfeld’s controversial series finale aired, drawing over 76 million viewers and commanding Super Bowl-level ad rates. In What We’re Bingeing, Lesa is deep into Accused: Guilty or Innocent?, while Felipe is hooked on The Americans. Together, they’re watching the new season of Hacks and recently checked out Afternoon Delight starring Kathryn Hahn and Josh Radnor.

They dive into how prostitution has been portrayed in Oscar-winning films, covering 17 major performances from Midnight Cowboy to Monster to Poor Things. Then it's a recap of the 2024 Met Gala, spotlighting its “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme inspired by Harlem Renaissance dandyism and of course, Andre 3000. Plus, Felipe takes on a fun challenge: Upcoming Rapper or Popular Medication?
