The WeCrashed podcast was a lot of fun but I don't know how enjoyable a TV show would be... I guess it depends on how they play it and what POV they play it from? It's weird to say because I am very excited for the Theranos TV show but I think that's because the product Theranos were claiming to have made was more impressive, like they were faking a huge achievement vs WeWork which just felt like parody level start up nonsense (like selling coworking spaces is a reasonable thing that other companies already do, it's how they went about it that was ridiculous). So hopefully the show leans into that, but IDK how much you can lean into that and have it work if your main character is Adam Neumann which I'm assuming is the case?

I didn't know they are doing a Theranos TV show. I would be interested in that one. The Bad Blood audiobook was a good listen.

the one with kate mckinnon?

Yup, I really enjoyed the book Bad Blood, so I'm looking forward to it.

I can’t even think of two people I’d least rather watch in anything. Pass.

[frejasface]

honestly I'm surprised that someone high-profile even commented on it

I couldn't think of a show less appealing than this. Congrats, Amazon!
