In this episode we dive deep into the manosphere documentary that dropped on Netflix. Louis Theroux explores how male influencers weaponize fitness culture as a gateway to toxic masculinity and extremism. Legitimate self-improvement advice gets twisted into radicalization and online creators need to understand the pipeline they are feeding. We break down why this is a larger issue for the fitness industry and what responsibility comes with influence.

Then we touch on the Oscars. Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler won their first Oscars for Sinners which broke records with 16 nominations. We briefly discuss what it says about Hollywood that after 98 years Black talent is still underrepresented despite all the performative diversity talk.

Both conversations ask the same question. Who gets power and who gets erased when systems protect themselves instead of changing.
