In today’s mini-sode, we discuss HBO's new upcoming series, The Idol, created by Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye, Sam Levinson, and Reza Fahim, which made headlines after a Rolling Stone expose revealed the show's dumpster fire production process and it's "sexual torture porn" content. Tune in as we explore if the show's controversy is warranted, compare and contrast it with Sam's previous controversies around Euphoria, and discuss The Weeknd's controversial opinion on an earlier iteration of the show's "feminist lens."

You've seen her face and name plastered everywhere during the late 80s to early 2000s, but what do you actually know about Pamela Anderson? And, has it come from her, or everyone but her?

In today’s mini-sode, we discuss Pamela Anderson's new documentary and autobiography "Love, Pamela" and reflect on her past from a 2023 lens. From playboys shoots, to motherhood, to late night harassment, and, of course, the infamous sex tape (and its latest depiction in the new "Pam & Tommy" Hulu series), we cover it all, getting to the heart of the question, "Who is Pamela Anderson?"
