The Way Down: God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin

  • サマリー

  • Why would Tarzan leave Manhattan for Brentwood, TN? Find out as we take a tour of the Remnant Fellowship Church by way of the HBO/Max documentary The Way Down: God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin. Conversational topics include but are not limited to: 1980s diet culture, patriarchy in conservative American Protestantism, gender politics and anti-fat bias, and what gets normalized when religious groups are said to warp/twist/exploit a certain text or tradition. Mike drops some personal lore about parenting workshops, Merinda explains why she doesn’t like an exceptionalism narrative, and both agree that it’s annoying when gawking at big hair stands in for critiquing capitalist tax codes. PSA: Individual experiences are always wrapped up in and reflective of structural realities, everybody. Cult favorites include the amazing Aubrey Gordon. Less explicitly, we seem also to love accidental segues and a lack of transitions! Join us and follow wherever you listen to things.
