About this episode

The episode discusses the cultural implications of Michael Jackson's defenders, the Met Gala's decline, and features a vintage clip of Liza Minnelli.

This week, we descend into the toxic delusion orbiting Michael Jackson’s most devoted defenders, unpack the slow cultural death spiral of the Met Gala at the hands of Jeff and Lauren Bezos, and discover that Rich is somehow fully on board for The Devil Wears Prada 2 . We also revisit an absolutely unhinged vintage clip of Liza Minnelli serenading a deaf lover using what appears to be entirely self-invented sign language, culminating in a jaw-dropping interpretation of the word “Chinese."
