For Episode 68, we decided on an episode that has batshit crazy all over it, so we reviewed the two documentaries about the Fyre Festival. Netflix's Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened and Hulu's Fyre Fraud had very distinct undertones from each other, but they both led to the inevitable conclusion: young people, with way more money than sense, are stupid. Also, we sampled Artisan Orchard Pineapple Cider (6% ABV). Problem is, it's actually an apple cider with pineapple juice in it, so... huh? Yeah, batshit crazy all around. So between the infuriating famous people endorsements (read: rich young people payed to lie), marketing companies trying to play down their intended goals, and a bad drink, we decided we would start our own festival. We will call it the Suds and Sucks Festival. Full explanation in episode. Oh, and we will hashtag the shit out of this episode, because... festival. Cheers!!!
the weekend show ep 10 | We discuss the infamous festival that needed two documentaries from both Netfilx and Hulu to unpack. Does this represent a colossal startup failure, or a massive fraud? Each documentary -- Netflix's FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened and Hulu's FYRE FRAUD -- reveals fascinating details about the story, but from meaningfully different perspectives. Which one is more persuasive?
