Next, they talk about Billie Eilish’s new album, Happier Than Ever, with Slate music critic Carl Wilson. Finally, the hosts dig into the questions raised by Scarlett Johansson’s breach-of-contract lawsuit over the way Disney handled the release of her movie Black Widow with Peter Labuza, a historian of creative industries. In Slate Plus, the careers the hosts almost pursued.
