Ep 12: Lena Dunham
from STARGIRL Hosted by Emma Glenn Baker
Follow STARGIRL on Instagram and TikTok for more. Lena Dunham's Girls is my favorite piece of art that's been created in my lifetime. I talk about why writing off the show as "narcissistic" is a massive missed opportunity, Lena's compulsion toward self-exposure and body horror, and her acute (unmatched?) understanding of how people behave. Happy Holidays y'all, and see you in the new year! 🌠 Discussed: "Lena Dunham Comes to Terms With Herself" Allison P.
