Welcome to the White Lotus

One great thing about a show like The White Lotus that has so much subtext, gray area, and room for interpretation is the variety of interpretations that we all bring to it. And it was genuinely a pleasure for us to go through all your thoughtful feedback in this episode, plus a bunch of news about...

Wow, what a freaking great episode of television this was. Yep. We were wowed. It was tragic and sublime. Beautiful, terrible, and moving. Inspiring and thought provoking. And we had a lot to say.  Thank you to everyone who listened along with us this season! We had a blast. We’re doing one more ep...

So would you take the $100k or rat Greg out? That’s just one of the many questions we ponder this week as Jason, Jenny, and Randy are joined by Randy’s wife Becca to talk it out.

In this episode about how we sometimes cling to the well-worn paths in life, at least one part of the story goes way the f#%k off into uncharted territory, and we’re glad to be joined by our friend Jenny Ryan to help try and make sense of it all.

Well, okay then. I mean you know this is all your fault for complaining nothing was happening on this show, right? Just kidding, but what an episode — all about fluidity of identity, losing inhibitions, and the never-ending carousel of lust and suffering — and we were pretty fascinated with all of ...

The simmer of this show is edging towards a boil, as Rick finally reveals his true purpose in Thailand, Timothy learns his impending terrible fate, Belinda discovers the truth about Greg, and Jaclyn, Laurie, and Kate have a messed-up day.  LISA - FUTW (Vixi Solo Version): https://www.youtube.com/wa...

The White Lotus may be a slow burn, but we always find it a fascinatingly, engagingly watchable one. This week we particularly enjoyed Lochlan’s “posture correction” session that turned out to be a disconcertingly accurate look into his soul (lol), Rick’s outing to get some weed, and yeah even Laur...

Welcome everyone. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy an eclectic blend of soothing, relaxing backbiting, armed robbery, and confusing sexual dynamics among siblings in that special way that only The White Lotus can deliver. Lol.  Next up: The White Lotus S3E3 “The Meaning of Dreams”. Once you’ve see...

Ah so good to be back in the land of beautiful environments and cringy people :) As promised, we’re seeing shades of spirituality, Eastern religion, and death, with the usual dash of entitlement and strained interpersonal dynamics that we love so much. Join Randy, Jenny, and Jason to talk it throug...

Things go all Tarantino in the wildly surprising season two finale! And of course, we get into some deep discussions about sexuality, infidelity, and desire, ‘cuz we aim to please :P And that’s it for our coverage of The White Lotus for awhile, until we get S3. Thanks for listening everybody. It was...

Things are getting dark in this second-to-last episode of The White Lotus season 2, with suspicion and threats everywhere. We’re happy to be joined this time by special guest Jenny Ryan! If you’ve seen S2 already, be sure to stick around for the spoilery segment at the end. If you want to join in on...

Lots of possible game playing (and definite game playing) going on at the White Lotus this week, with lies, cheating, everyone messing with each other, and possible scams afoot! It’s all rather delicious. Stick around for spoilery segment at the end. If you want to join in on the conversation on The...
