Ambitious Crossover Attempt

Episode 215 - Trump 250


Listen Later

Jen and Noam are late again, but that's Noam's fault because he's a Euphoria fan (?) now. But we don't just discuss the season (series?) finale of Euphoria, we discuss the DC based America 250 events that are falling apart in real time because Trump can't keep his hands off the celebrations. And yes, despite the feigned indignation on the topic, it's a little hard to say Trump isn't making this about Trump when there's huge banners of his face on government buildings in DC. And he decides to cancel a concert in lieu of his making a speech.

Primary season has officially started, and we've already got two controversial candidates to talk about; Graham Platner and Ken Paxton. While Paxton's flaws are well known and documented, including stealing money and cheating on his wife, Platner is stacking up new ones by the day. So we ponder the big question - when does it all become too much to support, even in the pursuit of power?

For our WAWC, we do a spoiler free discussion of Backrooms, the new movie based on the viral YouTube videos created by Kane Parsons. We both agree - if you are a fan of A24 horror films, you'll like where they went with this concept. We also discuss the idea of taking a concept that doesn't have a plot, strictly speaking, and translating that into a film. And, as mentioned, we discuss the ending of season three of Euphoria which does look to be the series finale because we're a little confused as to where Levinson would even go from here with the remaining characters.
