The Curse: A New Drama Series

The podcast discusses 'The Curse,' a new drama series from Benny Safdie and Nathan Fielder. The plot revolves around a married couple, played by Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder, who are filming a pilot for an HGTV show called 'Flipanthropy,' where they flip houses in a low-income town. The couple's wealthy and out-of-touch nature creates cringe-worthy and uncomfortable situations.
