About this episode

The episode critiques Amazon's $40 million documentary about Melania Trump, revealing unexpected content focused on design rather than her humanitarian efforts.

Amazon's $40 million production about First Lady Melania Trump. Going in expecting either propaganda or genuine insight into her humanitarian work, we discovered something entirely different - two hours of napkin and dress designs. With Melania having final creative control and controversial director Brett Ratner at the helm, this film revealed more than either of us expected.
