BONUS! In Our Fleabag Era But Make it Not Self-Destructive (also Happy Birthday to Erin)
To celebrate Erin's (slightly belated) birthday we're deep diving into the most perfect television show ever created that also has a character named Bus Rat.
Questions we discuss:
What does the character of the camera represent within the narrative?
What does the final scene of the series tell us about Fleabag's relationships with her loved ones, herself, and whatever the camera represents?
Why don't any of Fleabag's boyfriends have actual names?
Are we in our Fleabag era?
We also tell you about our favorite things we recently watched, including two screenings of Barbie, and take a quiz to find out which Fleabag characters we are. Take the quiz here.
