The White Lotus is sicker than ever, and we’re into it

We’re checking back into the dark and decadent world of Mike White’s The White Lotus. It’s the show’s third season, and a fresh cast of wealthy, dysfunctional jerks are spending a week at The White Lotus Thailand, a luxury wellness resort. But can any amount of energy healing sessions cure their privileged, rotted souls? 

Consider this your spoiler alert as Hannah and Bev rate this holiday stay on a scale of toxic white males (Patrick Schwarzenegger’s creepy finance bro Saxon), class-divide hotness (BLACKPINK’s Lalisa Manobal) and kooky southern matriarchs (Parker Posey’s pill-popping Victoria Ratliff).  

Get in touch: We’re making a show about kids’ pop culture content and want to hear from you! What do the kids in your life love to watch or listen to, that frankly, you don’t care for – and why?  

Or tell us about the beloved pop culture from your childhood that you’ve introduced to young ones that in retrospect, hasn’t held up well. How did you explain it?
