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."
