Summary
Adam and Josh review The Drama, Kristoffer Borgli’s provocative relationship experiment starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, and split on whether its formal games around perception, narrative, and moral judgment deepen the emotional stakes. They then break down the Elite 8 matchups in ’40s Madness and size up what’s left of the bracket.
