Summary
Sarah is obsessing over Fall fashion and not just the goth stuff; tweed and tartan too! We discuss the Mr. McMahon documentary about WWE founder Vince McMahon, the history of wrestling, and the fallout from his many lawsuits alleging sexual harassment, assault, and more. We detail how professional wrestling has many of the same elements and problems as reality tv (especially the Challenge) including the blurred line between real and fake and how everyone contains multitudes, which is why we were both impressed and repulsed by Vince McMahon's life and accomplishments. We talk about the Will & Harper documentary, and why it was different than we expected, but was a beautiful portrait of friendship, love, care, and the ways people are all the same. Susie describes a recent political scandal where a nominee for governor was found to be a prolific commenter on adult sites and message boards, and we explore what type of person is commenting on these forums in the first place and what they could possibly gain from doing so.
