Adolescence, Incel Culture, and Low-Cal Bullying

In this episode of Banterly, Aidan and Maya recount their chaotic attempt to go to London (spoiler: it didn’t happen) and how they accidentally became full-on tourists in New York instead. Between reminiscing about their childhood theater kid eras and exposing their parents' questionable internet rules, things take a more serious turn. The duo dives into Adolescence, Netflix’s new British crime miniseries about a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering his classmate. They unpack the show’s haunting look at online rabbit holes—from the manosphere to incel forums—and how they’re shaping a generation of boys. Aidan and Maya don’t hold back on their thoughts about digital parenting, algorithmic influence, and why Adolescence should be required viewing for, well, everyone. Tune in for the laughs, stay for the existential dread.
