“I generally love hearing people talk about “Sharp Objects,” despite their lack of any real insight into this amazing show (their guests have all the insight...I reckon that’s why I listen).
They exhibit two things I do not miss at all about living in NYC: the snobbery/thinking culture does not exist outside of NYC, and speaking a million miles an hour. Take a breath. Calm down. Geez. It is so grating.
The worst however, was when the tone-deaf guy on the podcast said that he thinks it’s sad, pathetic, and childish when adults call their parents “mama/momma.” Does he know any people not from the coasts? Does he know any people of color? Outside of the United States, in many cultures including my own, we refer to our parents as “mama” and “papa.” For our whole lives. In much of the South where I lived, it was the same way. That guy came off as such a typical New York snob when he said that. It’s what I loathed about so many of the rich people who live there.
Also the fact that he respects Patricia Clarkson for having it in her contract that her food must be cut up for her is...a lot of things.”
