Moni & Kat review "The Cult of Nature Boy" on Hulu

from The Fake Ass Book Club · host Moni & Kat

Welcome back! This week the ladies jump head first in the "The Cult of NatureBoy", a four-part docuseries that premiered on Hulu (and Disney+) on April 28, 2026. The series, produced by ABC News Studios and Zandland, chronicles the rise and fall of Eligio Bishop, a social media influencer known as "NatureBoy," who founded a controversial cult called Carbon Nation. We break down the rise and fall of NatureBoy, the formation of Carbon Nation, the cult dynamics at play, and how social media helped build a following in plain sight. From charisma and community to manipulation, control, and criminal consequences, this docuseries raises big questions about internet influence, vulnerability, and what happens when “finding yourself” turns into something much darker. If you watched the doc and needed somewhere to process all of that chaos, this episode is for you.
