One great thing about a show like The White Lotus that has so much subtext, gray area, and room for interpretation is the variety of interpretations that we all bring to it. And it was genuinely a pleasure for us to go through all your thoughtful feedback in this episode, plus a bunch of news about what Mike White and some of the actors think would happen to the characters next, among other things. 

Thanks again for a great season of podcasting. If you like what you heard, please check out podcastica.com and see if there are any other shows we cover that you’d like to hear us podcast on. The Last of Us season 2 just premiered on HBO!

Wow, what a freaking great episode of television this was. Yep. We were wowed. It was tragic and sublime. Beautiful, terrible, and moving. Inspiring and thought provoking. And we had a lot to say. 

Thank you to everyone who listened along with us this season! We had a blast. We’re doing one more episode later this week with more of your feedback and news about the show, so we’ll talk to you then.

So would you take the $100k or rat Greg out? That’s just one of the many questions we ponder this week as Jason, Jenny, and Randy are joined by Randy’s wife Becca to talk it out.

In this episode about how we sometimes cling to the well-worn paths in life, at least one part of the story goes way the f#%k off into uncharted territory, and we’re glad to be joined by our friend Jenny Ryan to help try and make sense of it all.

Well, okay then. I mean you know this is all your fault for complaining nothing was happening on this show, right? Just kidding, but what an episode — all about fluidity of identity, losing inhibitions, and the never-ending carousel of lust and suffering — and we were pretty fascinated with all of it. The wheels have come off the bus.

The simmer of this show is edging towards a boil, as Rick finally reveals his true purpose in Thailand, Timothy learns his impending terrible fate, Belinda discovers the truth about Greg, and Jaclyn, Laurie, and Kate have a messed-up day.

The White Lotus may be a slow burn, but we always find it a fascinatingly, engagingly watchable one. This week we particularly enjoyed Lochlan’s “posture correction” session that turned out to be a disconcertingly accurate look into his soul (lol), Rick’s outing to get some weed, and yeah even Laurie, Jaclyn, and Kate talking politics.

Welcome everyone. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy an eclectic blend of soothing, relaxing backbiting, armed robbery, and confusing sexual dynamics among siblings in that special way that only The White Lotus can deliver. Lol.

Ah so good to be back in the land of beautiful environments and cringy people :) As promised, we’re seeing shades of spirituality, Eastern religion, and death, with the usual dash of entitlement and strained interpersonal dynamics that we love so much. Join Randy, Jenny, and Jason to talk it through.

Things go all Tarantino in the wildly surprising season two finale! And of course, we get into some deep discussions about sexuality, infidelity, and desire, ‘cuz we aim to please :P

And that’s it for our coverage of The White Lotus for awhile, until we get S3. Thanks for listening everybody. It was seriously fun and endlessly fascinating to talk about this type of show, with this group of hosts, and you guys writing and calling in.

As I said, keep us in your feeds if you want to hear us talk The White Lotus: Thailand, and maybe we’ll drop an episode or two in the meantime.

Ciao for now :)

PS Need something to tide you over? We’re part of a network and we cover a bunch of other shows. If you haven’t checked any of them out, you can find them at podcastica.com/podcasts. A few that White Lotus fans might particularly like: Yellowjackets wtf? (on the amazingly great thriller/black comedy/drama starring Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, and Melanie Lynksey on Showtime), Murder Magnets: A Poker Face Podcast (on the supremely fun Rian Johnson-produced crime comedy-drama starring Natasha Lyonne), and Dead to Us (on the excellent Christina Applegate / Linda Cardellini black comedy-drama Dead to Me on Netflix).
