'Your Friends and Neighbors' S02E04 “Bread of Affliction” + the Enduring Appeal of Michael Jackson
About this episode
The episode discusses the launch of the Patreon, Michael Jackson's appeal, and a breakdown of 'Your Friends and Neighbors' Season 2 Episode 4.
Sona and I open by announcing the launch of the Need Some Introduction Patreon (currently free), featuring niche film/show coverage and a rewatch of Christopher Nolan’s filmography (Insomnia review and Batman Begins). We discuss Michael Jackson’s enduring appeal to kids, the upcoming biopic “Michael” (starring a relative), and how it reportedly focuses on spectacle while avoiding later controversies; we also recommend the “Thriller 40” documentary and talk about separating art from artist and “canceling.” We then break down Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2 Episode 4, focusing on the Passover Seder framing (freedom vs Coop’s entrapment), Ash’s erratic behavior and blackmail, Coop’s confusing motivations, and frustrations with underwritten or illogical female storylines (Mel, Sam, Tori, Allie, Elena). We close with brief updates on Imperfect Women improving in Elizabeth Moss’s section and enjoyment of Margot’s Got Money Troubles.
