This week, we are living for the meaningless celebrity drama surrounding the forthcoming film Don’t Worry Darling. We talk about it with Christina Tucker, Philadelphia-based writer and co-host of the Autostraddle podcast Wait, Is This a Date?, and Margaret Wilison, Boston-based culture writer and podcaster with Not Sorry Productions. We also get into the racist backlash against Amazon Prime’s new Rings of Power series and why we could all use a special master.
