This is a doozy. Sarah is joined by Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches), to unpack the unfortunate series premiere of "The Idol," on Max (there is no HBO to be found amidst this chaos). They discuss the history of the show's troubled production, the ways Sam Levinson and Abel "The Weekend" Tesfaye rejected the show's original premise - and director - as too driven by a woman's perspective, and the difference in execution between "The Idol's" overhauled storyline and Levinson's hit series "Euphoria."
