Welcome to the White Lotus Podcast artwork

The White Lotus is a lush, cringy masterpiece, wryly exposing the foibles of privilege and wealth, exploring class, sexuality, grief, morality, and human psychology, among many other things. It’s smartly written, beautifully filmed, well-acted, and we think it’s funny AF. Join us as we explore the nuances of this standout show.

Things go all Tarantino in the wildly surprising season two finale!

This ep spurred a lot of talk about gender, what comes naturally to us vs. what is a social construct, the difference between flirting and harassment, addiction, and a lot more.

4: "Recentering" (S1E4)

This episode had cluelessly hypocritical moralizing, people disappointing and/or trying to stick it to each other, cringiness, sublime moments, laughs, and sex. So, you know, White Lotus :) Stay tuned to the very end for a quick spoilery segment if you’ve already seen through The White Lotus seasons one and two (or don’t care about spoilers).
