Ep 73: “The Regime” — Family and Political Dynamics

Today we’re discussing the first episode of creator Will Tracy’s new HBO limited series, “The Regime.” Starring Kate Winslet as Chancellor Elena Vernham in a show helmed by the writer of “The Menu” (2022) and “Succession” (2019-2023), this political spoof takes place in an unnamed Central European country that’s looking to create a commercial relationship with the United States. The first episode, “Victory Day,” introduces us to the strange, funhouse world of Chancellor Vernham’s regime — full of eccentricity, hypochondria, and power dynamics. We recap and analyze the premiere of this new Max miniseries. Join us!
