This week on episode #219 of New Release … RenMen Derrick and Drew chow down on a new show about succession on Max. No, not that Succession, not Game of Thrones, not HotD, not Righteous Gemstones—we’re talking about Ren Faire. This “documentary” series takes a novel approach to how it presents and stylizes the palace intrigue behind the world’s biggest Renaissance Faire. We discuss what’s real, what’s imagined, and of course, King George the creepshow who wants only for a companion to hop atop his lonely throne.
