The Horrors of Online Reality
Roxana: I think what I sort of liked about this episode to your point of recreating portions of people's lives is that we see a version of Jones real life right and then we see how the recreation just amplifies and makes it extreme. There is some vulnerability to Annie Murphy's performance when she's talking about this relationship with her fiance that doesn't totally fulfill her. And then again of course in the Jones awful version it's very intensely dismissive of her partner. So I think do your point about like online reality and any kind of performative reality taking like the worst aspects of things and just feeding them to be as bad as possible.
