White House Correspondents dinner, White Lotus updates, Elephant Justice, + Erosion of Social Niceties

from Your Weekly Breakdown · host Hard Copy Media

A smart, slightly unhinged tour through media, memory, power, and the slow erosion of both environmental regulations and social niceties, with just enough jokes to keep you from spiralling.Cait and guest co-host Jill Clark chat lost media, unreliable memory, and the unsettling realization that some things might actually be gone forever (including, tragically, a niche aquarium puppet show). Also: political theatre, a deeply skeptical unpacking of the alleged active sh00ter situation at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.From elephant justice (a big game hunter meets a very poetic end) to Canada’s new “we should probably start saving money?” sovereignty fund, the episode toggles between global chaos and domestic policy with just enough irreverence to make it palatable. “AI is going to boil the planet but sure, let’s skip the environmental review” rage, plus a brief but important detour into why Helena Bonham Carter walking off The White Lotus is both devastating and, somehow, fine now that Laura Dern has entered the chat.***Follow along:Your Weekly Breakdown on instagram: www.instagram.com/yourweeklybreakdownCaitlin on instagram: www.instagram.com/caitlinhowdenEmily on instagram: www.instagram.com/hardcopy.onlineInterested in advertising in a Hard Copy Media property?
