Maybe We Don't Need A Michael Jackson Biopic? And What A Netflix Scam and Your Group Chat Have In Common

from The WHO Group Chat · host WHO

Should the Michael Jackson biopic have been made at all? Can you separate the art from the artist or, in this case, the person from the crimes? Or can we maybe just stop immortalising problematic people?  These are just some of the big and surprisingly philosophical questions Editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Writer Celia Whitley are tackling in the latest episode of The WHO Group Chat. First up, the girls dive into the controversy surrounding the MJ biopic, unpacking the ethics of bringing his story to the big screen, whether audiences can truly separate the performer from the allegations and whether the "King of Pop" somehow got a pass.  Then, Celia sits down with comedian and Taskmaster star Anisa Nandaula for a hilariously candid chat about the upcoming season of the Channel 10 series. From behind-the-scenes tea about Chelsea Handler to brutally honest reviews, Anisa does not hold back. Meanwhile, Lyndsey reveals she was recently offered a very lucrative “job” at Netflix. Dream opportunity? Not quite. The catch: it was a scam. What follows is a chaotic and deeply entertaining tale of Lyndsey engaging in a spiralling game of cat and mouse with two robots. Spoiler: things get weird. Fast. And finally, the conversation turns to something deeper as Celia and Madi unpack the modern loneliness epidemic. In a world where everyone is trying to “protect their peace,” have we accidentally become too guarded to form meaningful connections? Are boundaries healthy… or are they leaving us isolated, friendless and weirdly dependent on podcasts for company? So whether you’re here for the ethics debate, scammer chaos or an existential crisis about your social life, settle in for the one group chat you definitely won’t want to mute.
