EP. S2E51 — The Idol Hate Watch & Taboo TV w/ Kiki Andersen

What’s more fascinating than good TV? EPICALLY BAD TV. Whether you’ve watched MAX’s The Idol or not, Kiki Andersen (Indecent podcast) is here to help Ashley break down all the reasons why the show was a monumental failure and discuss what makes a TV show taboo. Plus, Ashley dives into The Other Two’s scandal-ridden cancellation and how it seems like A-list showrunner Ryan Murphy isn’t standing in solidarity with his WGA colleagues.

Listen to Indecent with Kiki Andersen on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
