Jacques is joined by writer Matthew Sini to discuss season two of Mike White's The White Lotus. They discuss the themes in the show, the normie obsession with the murder mystery plot, the annoying yasskweenfication of the female characters, and how the show's radical realism dismantles wokeness. They also get into Mike White's 2002 film The Good Girl starring Jennifer Aniston.
Before that, Jacques sounds off on Jen Shah, getting food poisoning, being gaslit over Meghan Markle and 'conspiracy theories' and more.

0:12.7 | I officially clock off in like a few minutes. It's almost 2 a.m. here. I work until 2 when I do night shifts. |
0:22.6 | And you know what? I really want to get off here. Play PlayStation. Shout out Death Stranding. That game is incredible. It is a work of |
0:27.9 | art. I have to like finish a mission that I'm on on the game. I want to do that and then go to |
0:32.3 | bed because I'm back at the gym tomorrow. But I'm here recording because I have to get this |
0:37.0 | episode out because this |
0:38.3 | episode was actually meant to come out like a week ago and then I had a major audio fuck up |

1:18.2 | review Mike White's 2002 film The Good Girl with Jennifer Aniston and Jake Gyllenhawn. It's very |
1:24.9 | interesting to watch the two of them together because the |
1:28.2 | good girl was so early in his career and the White Lotus is so recent. You see so many of like |
1:32.6 | the same themes, but just the writing and the storytelling are so much more sophisticated in |
1:38.1 | the White Lotus. But I love the good girl and I posted about it on Instagram thinking that |
