Viral Article Book Club: The Politics of Race and Revolution in One Battle After Another
Traci Thomas (The Stacks) returns to guest host "Viral Article Book Club" with a twist. Journalist Zach Stafford (Vibe Check) joins her to unpack the cultural conversation around Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film "One Battle After Another," alongside two articles: The Guardian’s "Jezebel’s Race Kink and Cardi B in One Battle After Another" and Brooke Obie’s Substack piece "One Fetish After Another." They explore how the movie portrays Black women, interracial relationships, and the aesthetics of the moment we’re in. Plus: why Teyonah Taylor, Chase Infiniti, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s performances make the film’s message even harder to pin down.
A content warning: This episode contains spoilers for the film and discussions of sensitive topics, including sexual assault, violence, and racism. Take care while listening and find helpful resources here.

Kendra Wilkinson's Memoir Sliding Into Home (with Jo Feldman and Caro Claire Burke)
Guest host Jo Feldman welcomes “Yesteryear” writer and Diabolical Lies co-host Caro Claire Burke to dive into “Girls Next Door” star Kendra Wilkinson’s first memoir, “Sliding Into Home.” From her childhood days that rival scenes from “Thirteen” to becoming one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends, Kendra’s path to fame is a 2000s fever dream complete with cameos from Jack Nicholson and Criss Angel. Jo and Caro sift through the strange nights in the dilapidated Playboy Mansion, Hefner lore, and the culture of misogyny that defined a generation of reality TV.
