The Complexity of Nathan Fielder's Persona

Joanna is joined by Sean to recap Episode 3, 4, and 5 of ‘The Curse.’ They discuss their fandom of Emma Stone and her character’s moral decline, the Lynchian and reality TV–like characteristics of the filmmaking, and how Asher’s character is a reflection of Fielder’s past works. They take a look at Dougie’s story line in comparison to that of Asher’s, then react to the revelation of the curse being a TikTok trend on the show. Finally, they make forecasts about where the show is going and how it compares to recent film and television.
