Epstein Files, Keeping Helen of Troy Hot, and Stolen Land
Robby Soave and Christian Britschgi discuss the outrages of the week, including Jeffrey Epstein, Billie Eilish, and DoorDash.
The episode kicks off by unpacking this week's Jeffrey Epstein witch hunt and why certain moral panics catch fire so fast. The conversation then turns to the comeback of the "r" word, how DoorDash culture is reshaping everyday life, and why accusations of fascism get tossed around so casually. Robby and Christian also dive into the latest pop-culture outrage over diversity casting in the upcoming Odyssey film. Finally, the episode closes with Billie Eilish's "stolen land" speech at the Grammys and what it says about celebrity politics today.
