Ep 49: Raise Your Hand If You've Ever Felt Personally Victimized by the Communal Mirror at Aritzia
Happy Wednesday Weed Whackers! Welcome back! First up in today's episode Sam and Hollis have a lot to catch up on since they haven't seen each other in almost a week. Sam's sharing her first experience as a field trip chaperone and Hollis is giving us her review of the Father John Misty concert she attended. She wasn't so sure about it and it sparks a conversation about art interpretation, authenticity, and the complexities of being an ally in the social justice sense of the word. Next up, we're discussing a statistic that's been floating around for the past couple of years and one woman's take on it in particular. We play a clip in which author Elizabeth Gilbert explains that statistically speaking one of the unhealthiest things a woman can do is marry a man and on the reverse one of the healthiest things a man can do is marry a woman. There's a lot to unpack here and we have a lot of thoughts and a lot more questions. We'd love to hear what you think! After much debate about that it's time to get in the weeds! Today we're getting deep about The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. We're discussing the Hulu show, the 2016 documentary, and what we know about the case itself. We note some parallels to Monica's Lewinsky's story as well as to Hollis's own personal experience of enduring the loss of her roommate in an eerily similar way. (If you want to hear the full story of Hollis's experience listen to episode 2: Trauma Bonded.) As always we wrap up the episode with gripes about fun house mirrors and underwhelming car wash experiences and grapes to live music and proving ourselves wrong. See you in the weeds!
