Mike White's "The White Lotus"

This week, Gavia and Morgan discuss Mike White's buzzy summer hit The White Lotus, starring Jennifer Coolidge, Murray Bartlett, Steve Zahn, and many more as the guests and staff at a luxury resort in Hawaii. Topics include the show's rushed production due to COVID, its treatment of class and colonialism, its extraordinary cast, and much more.
