Welcome to the White Lotus

The White Lotus is a lush, cringy masterpiece, wryly exposing the foibles of privilege and wealth, exploring class, sexuality, grief, morality, and human psychology, among many other things. It’s smartly written, beautifully filmed, well-acted, and we think it’s funny AF. Join us as we explore the nuances of this standout show. You can join in and be a part of the discussion. Write to us or send a voice message to talk@podcastica.com and we’ll respond on the podcast. We’re Podcastica and we’ve

BONUS: Pluribus S1E1&2 "We Is Us" & "Pirate Lady"

Welcome to the White Lotus ·

2025/11/08

Hey all, here’s another bonus episode, this time on the crazy new Apple TV show, Pluribus.Pluribus is the latest show from Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan, who in our book is one of the all-time great TV creators. His writing is intelligent, meticulous, unexpected, and wry, and this show is wild. It’s very Twilight Zone-y. Creepy, thought provoking, thrilling, extremely odd in the best way, and super fun. If you haven’t tried it, we definitely recommend you give it a shot! And then, of

One great thing about a show like The White Lotus that has so much subtext, gray area, and room for interpretation is the variety of interpretations that we all bring to it. And it was genuinely a pleasure for us to go through all your thoughtful feedback in this episode, plus a bunch of news about what Mike White and some of the actors think would happen to the characters next, among other things.

Well, okay then. I mean you know this is all your fault for complaining nothing was happening on this show, right? Just kidding, but what an episode — all about fluidity of identity, losing inhibitions, and the never-ending carousel of lust and suffering — and we were pretty fascinated with all of it.

Welcome to the White Lotus ·

2025/03/04

The White Lotus may be a slow burn, but we always find it a fascinatingly, engagingly watchable one. This week we particularly enjoyed Lochlan’s “posture correction” session that turned out to be a disconcertingly accurate look into his soul (lol), Rick’s outing to get some weed, and yeah even Laurie, Jaclyn, and Kate talking politics.
