Bad entrepreneurs abound on new streaming series like “The Dropout,” “WeCrashed” and “Super Pumped," feeding into our culture's fascination with doomed CEOs. Plus, our stir-crazy age seeks escapism in dark, twisted shows like the workplace thriller “Severance,” the high school drama “Euphoria,” and a slew of horror series. And Pixar’s animated “Turning Red” is led by Oscar winner Domee Shi, the first woman and first Asian woman filmmaker to direct a feature for the studio.
Guests:
Michael Jeffries, dean of academic affairs and professor of American studies at Wellesley College
Linda Liu, lecturer of sociology at UMass Boston, who specializes in cinema, media, and cultural studies
