New episode out now! We watched the first episode of Luther, the British detective procedural starring Idris Elba. We discuss Luther himself and how he does not come off as a good or stable person, are drawn into the character of Alice and think she is realistically terrifying, have a lot of questions about Luther’s relationship with his estranged wife Zoe, and talk about how the most important piece of evidence was the lack of evidence. We get into Luther abusing his power and toeing the line of legality, wonder what Alice’s true motivations are, think the actors were excellent, and dive into the misogyny inherent in Luther and the treatment of women as a prize. Katy recommends some other British mystery shows, Carrie shares some disturbing lines from And Just Like That…, Maddy deserves a gold star, and Mack gives some good dating advice. We also talk about different reward systems employers use, try to recruit people for D&D, go on a collective semi-rant about the modern alpha male mentality, and learn about dark cremation facts. Listen to hear more about William Shatner, excited Googling, the Glasgow Coma Scale, microplastics, and how women are actually people! Enjoy this episode of many tangents!
