Sharing Content(ly): Lauren & Jake
This episode features explicit language and discussion of mature themes.
Two millennials in the throes of another COVID-induced lockdown discuss the art of the man who might very well be the poster child for the millennial experience. Bo Burnham’s INSIDE is a stellar work of art; which gave Jake the feelings that Lauren already possessed for Bo. Listen to them enthuse, discuss and dissect this modern day masterpiece.

Jake’s Essay Questions:
- INSIDE makes the case that the Internet does more to separate us than it does to connect us.
- INSIDE fundamentally discusses that all life, relationships, and art are merely a performance. Discuss
- “While overall lighthearted, INSIDE presents a pessimistic view of the world and our future.” Do you agree?

In a series of Sharing Content(ly) firsts we’re looking at a TV show, and for extra variety this time Lauren knows it well and Jake’s brand new. We're taking a look at the first season of the criminal drama ‘White Collar’. What will Jake think of being compared to the nerdy secondary character? What does it take for a show to satisfy Lauren in 2021? Just how sexy is the main character?
If you really want to know you’ll have to give it a listen.

In this episode we take a look at the musical “Six” and dissect just how uplifting and inspiring it really is with what it got right, got wrong, and what it left out. Jake struggles with girl groups on the best of days (listen to him try to name all of the Spice Girls), so how well could he possibly do with these historical queens? Meanwhile, Lauren has deep and complicated feelings for a boy named Tom just like some of the characters in the show and, trust us, you’ll get to hear all about it.

Raise your cups! In this episode we branch out and look at the modern blues musical of Hadestown, which is a retelling of the classic Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice. This musical sent Lauren down a series of rabbit holes and she emerged with an… interesting, theory or two. Meanwhile, Jake is far too busy questioning just how good it is to root for the bad guy.
