Corporate Gossip

Today, Robby and Becca psychoanalyze the everloving shit out of the Kushner family. From Charlie's revenge p*rn to Josh's hero complex and Jared's apparent inability to read, the Kushner's messy legacy is as juicy as it is terrifying.

Please note, this episode was recorded before the US midterm elections!

Corporate Gossip Movie Month wraps up with Alex Gibney's "thing" on Elon Musk. It sucked Grock. We found a few nuggets worth talking about in this toilet movie and share them with you so you can save yourself FOUR HOURS of agony.

But first we go back to the House of Fielder, discussing Whistleblower Tyler Schultz's reaction, Nathan's interview with Wired, and comments on our initial movie review. We concede on some points (were we too sympathetic?) and dispute others (WAS Billy's **** smaller than I remembered?).

We're back to our regularly scheduled programming next month, with episodes about the Kushner family, Bill Ackman, and a very sketchy AI elementary school.

What was the motivation for Billy to [REDACTED]? Why did we kinda want Nathan and Liz to [REDACTED]? Is [Redacted] delusional about [Redacted]?? We grapple with all of these questions and more on today's episode about Nathan Fielder's documentary, You Can See Everything.

Disclaimer: We hope you see the movie before being spoiled by us. And if you listen to us first, don't take our word for it! Everyone we spoke to in real life has a different interpretation of what they saw in theaters, which is what makes this film so unbelievable.

Join our Patreon movie club to discuss You Can See Everything on November 2nd.

Coming up this week on the ⁠Patreon⁠ Robby and I discuss Aaron Sorkin's Stinker, the Social Reckoning. It deviated so much from the source material that I was motived to re-edit our Facebook episodes into this supercut that sets the record straight on the two worst people on earth: Sheryl Sandberg (3:00) and Mark Zuckerberg (1:00:00)!

We'll be back later this week with all of our thoughts about Nathan Fielder's You Can See Everything - until then!
