Physical, Evil, and Britney

Inner and outer demons, all around

We're back from a quick break with a nice, long episode! We discuss Physical and Evil, two shows about battling demons (both inner and outer).

03:29 Physical, a polarizing dark comedy on Apple TV+, is an incredibly thorny, often exhausting show, but one that so far is worth the watch.

21:22 Evil, streaming on Netflix (season 1) and Paramount+ (season 2), is a supernatural procedural that questions the gray area between skepticism and faith.

37:58 Plus, culture notes about Britney Spears and the cruelty of a system designed to entrap and abuse.

NOTE: We are off again next week for the holiday. Stay cool and see you the week after!
