درباره این اپیزود
In this episode, we honour the beautiful universality of loserdom. From America's bromance comedies to the UK's weirdo sitcoms, we explore the 2000s tropes for the genre, and whether two misfits can cancel each other out.
We also deep-dive on Ghost World, the 2001 indie cinema classic that not only bridges the generational loser divide, but asks a question that, in today's loneliness epidemic, has never been more relevant: can loser friendships save us?
