I don't know if it's possible for anyone but if you can watch Poor Things back to back with an episode of The Curse I highly recommend it.

I love seeing the reactions until it gets re-uploaded to sharing site. Although one time reading reactions gave me the false idea he was gonna be crucified by accident. Still brutal as it was but not as bad as I expected lol

I liked Whitney's revelation (whatever it was) when she asked about eating the turkey. She was obsessed with HER OWN role in Cara's performance and became so enamored with whether or not she was supposed to eat it that she didn't even give thought to the fact that it doesn't matter, and the point of the art is about Cara's pain and a general struggle for Native people. Whitney is preposterously self-absorbed, everything revolves around her and she really doesn't care about anyone.

Now I’m banking on the end being Whitney dying in an art project Cara is performing but it happens on native land after they got enough support signed and a law passed so nothing happens to Cara. Whitney’s death is also Dougie’s curse and he marries Cara while Asher changes roles with him as the widower.

Obviously.

This is my vibe, or perhaps a true crime documentary as suggested by another poster above.

I hope it doesn't end in an episode that's a true crime documentary, just because I don't really like them, but it would make sense to comment on misleading editing in that way. We saw the whole actual story this season and then they end it with the deceptively edited "documentary" of the events.

This last episode was fantastic though, probably my favorite so far. Loved the scene where Cara is just so blunt with Whitney about their relationship that Whitney couldn't really deny it. There's a lamp in that scene above Caras head that looks like a boom mic to me, just showing how fake the whole thing is.

I was thinking about the first scene too and how far Whitney has abandoned what she wanted to do with the show. She was so upset that Dougie faked Fernandos mom crying, and then in this last episode she was fabricating conversations whole cloth using Cara.

I'm not understanding why Fernando was so upset. I thought he wasn't doing security once the coffee shop reopened? I also thought the point of paying for the jeans was that no one would know that a ton of thefts were happening there, so why do all these guys know about it? It seemed like there needed to be some extra lines or an extra scene showing that the thieves targeting the jeans store moved to shoplift from neighboring stores, too. If word got out that it's open season at one place, it makes sense that they'll think it's like that in the whole area and cause a bigger problem.

Whit's move with the credit card turned a small attempted robbery into open season which i imagine is bad for the neighborhood and its residence

And lol that she claimed it was Urban Art lmao

Yeah really all it would have taken was one person noticing that they got away with shoplifting for word to spread. She asks him how many pairs he stole on the way out and boom, that's on the Internet in seconds

don't forget that Fernando feels very protective of the yusheko jeans clerk, and I imagine he's under the impression that this is a very humiliating/corrupting experience for her.

Yeah I get what they were going for but I think needed one more scene before this one to understand the jump to coming to Whitney's house with 4 other armed people. Especially since his point was more about cleaning things up rather than the affluent teens coming in.

Though maybe this is going to end up with Fernando shooting one of the teens.

I thought I got where Fernando was coming from when he said something like "You're trying to get me into trouble." He's taking the security job seriously and has caught wind of the thefts and is panicking that this could fall on him legally.

Unless I missed something, I think you're mixing up that clerk with the secretary(?) for Whitney's office(?) that's right next door.

You're correct, they're entirely different people.

Fernando is protective of the jean store clerk. She says that Fernando made her feel better after that first time the cops showed up. He calls her a "good kid" or something similar to Whitney too after that. Just a parental kind of feeling towards the clerk.

The secretary in Whitney's office is older and that relationship with Fernando dosen't seem like a parental one, just a friendly work relationship.

That was easily my favorite episode so far. I've had friends like Dougie before and being around them gave me so much anxiety. Safdie and Fielder have really impressed. I couldn't imagine anyone else nailing those roles like they have. And of course Emma Stone... What a hell of a show.
