Wynter and Karen take a look back at SNL’s political
coverage, especially its parodies of presidential debates past and
present, as the show resumes production with a live studio
audience. Is satire even possible in the political world we’re
living in today? Trying with all her might not to get too caught up
in the onslaught of news, from 45’s COVID cluster to the death of
Eddie Van Halen, Wynter is in a transatlantic mood and tells us all
about Emily in
Paris. Karen can’t help
but get into the Ryan Murphy Netflix series
Ratched, which
features Filipinos, lesbians, and a Sirkian aesthetic. Plus, nuo
lingo offers a sophisticated approach to a lack of sophistication
and songs of the week from the 80s that say everything about this
moment.
