Much more I could say here, but these other folks who wrote in got it covered. I found Baby Reindeer strikingly honest. It resonated with similar experiences of abuse and sexuality (related and separately) in my life and lives around me. To suggest Donny was dating or leading on his abuser, even that the abuser was gay (he identifies out loud as pansexual during the show), or that Donny’s confusion post-assault is implying gay contagion β€” felt like very simplistic, borderline incorrect reads of a show that is not at all simple. Despite the hosts’ claims of not wanting to police sexuality, this episode perpetuates a tired narrative that bi or questioning folks are betraying the queer cause. And assuming that Jessica Gunning won’t get opportunities because she’s fat is an insult to the live wire of talent she brings to this show. Baby Reindeer is a story about the author’s self-hatred. The hosts seem to miss that and need it to be About queerness or About body size; I loved that those features, like they are in so much of real life, were just details in that story. And like a lot of real life, the story is messy. This has been the most popular show on Netflix for weeks. Please have more than two people review it.

Unbuttoned, smart, funny, insightful, (young!!!!) and benefitting from what most podcasts seem to think is unnecessary, EDITING! Too often other...Read full review »

NPR recently combined several of their arts podcasts (books, movies, etc.) into this single Culturepedia offering, probably due to budget constraints. Unfortunately, this means that instead of getting 30 minutes of movie content, we now get a hodge-podge of Entertainment Weekly stories. The host...Read full review »
