Straight Up Louis Theroux, the manosphere and the hell of being a teenage girl
Did Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere go far enough? That's the big question on the show this week as we review his divisive new Netflix doc about male alt-right influencers. We discuss misogyny vs ragebait, the manosphere’s influence on politics and how this all affects young women and girls. Plus: a debrief on the Oscars, Kylie Jenner’s Hollywood career pivot, a Devil Wears Prada 2 update and the ‘bombshell’ new book about Meghan Markle.
Get tickets to our book club on Sunday 12 April at The Hoxton, Holborn via Ticket Tailor and order your copy of our book pick Hooked here.
