S1E75 - Inside The Manosphere and Inside America's Next Top Model

Episode Notes

Our heroes return in a relatively timely fashion to discuss Toxic Masculinity and Toxic Femininity.

Will is a clear representation of all that is wrong with modern men and the less said about Lorraine and her own particular brand of toxic femininity, the better!

Of course we're just joking and they are fine representatives of their respective genders!

First up is Louis Theroux's brand new Netflix documentary, Inside The Manosphere, where Louis subjects himself to spending time with poisonous, self-proclaimed 'Alphas' as they grift around looking to earn money. Whether it's from beating up someone on a live stream, to propositioning unsuspecting women in public, or giving unreliable crypto advice, they just don't care.

It's all 'one-way monogamy' and 'I do what I want!' until the wife/girlfriend is in earshot.

Then our hosts move back in time to 2003 and the launch of the 'reality' show America's Next Top Model.

This documentary, poorly titled as Inside America's Next Top Model is a 3 part series talking of the rapid rise and subsequent fall of the show. We learn how far TV has progressed from the Wild West days of poor after-care for people involved in reality TV when they are spat out the other end back into society.

Our heroes are hopeful, though. The grifting crypto bros will never win!
