Episode notes
This week’s show is a double dose of schadenfreude!
The gang compares the dueling documentaries Hulu’s “Fyre Fraud” and Netflix’s “Fyre,” which tell different versions of the tropical shit show that landed its mastermind Billy McFarland behind bars.
All Abouts
Wynter is all about Crashing and True Detective.
Margaret is all about the memoir Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning by Claire Dederer, who you may recognize from her article in the Paris Review What Do We Do with the Art of Monstrous Men.
Karen is all about CATWALK: Tales from the Cat Show Circuit on Netflix, and the rivalry between a “well-muscled” Turkish Angora named Bobby, and a voluminous Red Persian named Oh La La.
Guy is all about Sex Education on Netflix.
