MONDAY ANALYSIS:  We watched the new Louis Theroux documentary, Inside The Manosphere, and we have thoughts.

Stream The Testaments on Disney+ from April 8th, and thank you so much to Disney+ for making this episode of Shameless possible. And...

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS: A dry cleaning AYINOSI!

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.

This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
