This week, it’s Noel who’s on location, so we again keep the podcast to a more manageable length. We kick things off with Our Week in TV, looking at the antepenultimate episode of Top Chef, the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 11, Umbrella Academy, black-ish, the much-anticipated “Co-Op”/Company episode of Documentary Now! and another entertaining Drunk History. Then we move over to the spotlight section and dive in with Amazon Prime’s four-part documentary series Lorena, which examines the Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt trials and reflects on gender roles and domestic violence, and how far we have—and have not—come since the ‘90s.
