Episode Notes
This week Stephen, Dana, and Julia start by discussing Promising Young Woman, the revenge thriller starring Carey Mulligan and written and directed by Emerald Fennell. Then Slate culture writer Karen Han joins the show to talk about the French heist series Lupin, which has been firmly situated on Netflix’s top 10 list since it premiered. After that, the hosts reflect on a recent article in the New York Times Magazine by Kyle Chayka: “How Nothingness Became Everything We Wanted.”*
In Slate Plus, the hosts wonder whether the end of the Trump presidency has really hit them yet.
