On Pretty Much Pop, a philosopher, an actor, and a sci-fi writer (often with entertainment industry guests) talk about media and how we consume it: TV, film, music, novels, games, comics, comedy, theater, podcasts, and more. Most of what (other) people like is pretty weird when you think about it, so thinking about it is what we do.

Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al discuss the HBO dramedy White Lotus about rich people having existential crises at a luxury resort in light of its third season. What exactly made this latest season less satisfying than the others? Does the show have a sustainable formula? What is the show saying about enlightenment? Travel? Sexuality? We talk through key plots, characters, and performances in the show and the wider Mike White-i-verse.
Follow us @law_writes, @sarahlynbruck, @MarkLinsenmayer. Al does not want you to follow him, you degenerate kids!
