Summary

This week, Kate reviews the Bama Rush doc on (HBO) Max and discusses why she thinks the doc fell short of our expectations as viewers and voyeurs of this Tiktok phenomenon. First, she reviews her initial reaction, the director’s role in it, why she realized it would be impossible for cameras to get on the inside, and reviews some of the core themes that were touched on but not explored. She also speculates about the important things, like sticker gate with Holiday. Then, Kate is joined by another Kate (from Reality Life with Kate Casey), and they pick up where the convo left off on her podcast (link below) and discuss more sorority lore, questions the doc left unanswered, and even do a role-playing exercise where one Kate asks the other if certain behaviors would get PNMs the boot from recruitment. She also provides a detailed list of what’s on this week’s must-watch list. Enjoy!

We kind of have like a special edition coming out a little earlier than usual because I wanted

to align with my guests podcast that I am also on coming out today Friday.

0:28.8

So if you want all the scoop on the BAM arrest documentary, you can get it.

0:33.6

And I figured we'd kind of cover this from different angles because we have different

0:36.1

show formats, minds longer, I ran belong and then do my interview.

0:41.3

Hers is more pointed about like the documentary quality itself and her meaning Kate Casey,

0:46.6

I didn't introduce her from reality life.

She's like an expert on reviewing and recapping documentaries and unscripted series and

great podcast.

And when I was going on hers, I was like, well, you come on mine as well.

1:04.2

And we'll just try to cover as much ground as we can about this BAM arrest documentary.

1:08.4

I will say it didn't turn out to be the documentary I thought it was going to be.

1:11.7

I don't think for her either.
