Why is it that Dunham gets so much hate from the media, and is she a reliable narrator? Also on the show: our reviews of Euphoria and the Testaments, the two biggest TV shows of the year. Is Euphoria as “grubby” as the critics are saying, and does The Testaments live up to the Handmaid’s Tale? Plus: Ruby Rose’s disturbing allegations against Katy Perry, the Alex Cooper vs Alix Earle beef, and a quick debrief on Coachella.</p><p><br></p><p>Join us on Patreon for our oversharing bonus and ad free eps! <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/cw/StraightUpPodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">patreon.com/straightuppodcast</a></p><p><br></p><p>Get 15% off our fave eSim with the code straightup at <a href=\"https://saily.com/straightup\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">saily.com/straightup</a></p><p><br></p><p>Shop our go-to canned wine from 100% organic Sicilian wine company Vinca at <a href=\"http://vincawine.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">vincawine.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow us on IG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/straightuppod/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@straightuppod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> and TikTok<a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@straightuppod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> @straightuppod</a></p><p>Find us on YouTube<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@straightupmediapod\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> @straightupmediapod</a></p><p>Email at ⁠⁠hello@straightuppodcast.co.uk⁠</p><p><br></p><p>Recs/ reviews:</p><ul><li>The Testaments, Disney+</li><li>In 'The Testaments,' Teen Girls See Gilead Differently, New York Times</li><li>Euphoria s3</li><li>Euphoria has descended into one man’s creepy, sex-obsessed fantasy, Telegraph</li><li>Alix Earle Replies After Alex Cooper Calls Her Out for 'Passive Aggressive' Behavior, People</li><li>Famesick, Lena Dunham</li><li>Lena Dunham Is Still Trying to Figure Out Why People Hated Her So Much, New York Times</li><li>I got everything I dreamed of – when I had no ability to handle it’: Lena Dunham on toxic fame, broken friendships and her ‘lost decade’, The Guardian</li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>.</p>","author_name":"Straight Up"}
