We're kicking off Season 4 with one of Glamour's Woman of the Year 2022: Este Haim, who joins us to discuss all things THE WHITE LOTUS. Este, who served as a music consultant on the show's second season, is ready, willing and able to dish on her experience. We chat about our collective shared love Jennifer Coolidge (obviously), her and Kesha nearly getting arrested in Sicily, arranging the music for Mia's breakout piano ballads, partying late into the night with the cast and crew, Mike White's appearance on SURVIVOR, and more. All that, plus we're joined by WHITE LOTUS stars Murray Bartlett, Meghann Fahy, Adam DiMardco and Beatrice Grannò.

This episode of ‘Shut Up Evan’ is in loving memory of Gary Katz as ERK opens with some personal news (1:08). Then ERK and Sean chat with White Lotus’ Sabrina Impacciatore (33:39) who famously portrays the misunderstood hotel manager, Valentina. The Italian actress reminisces on working with Mike White and the support he gave her to explore Valentina to her fullest: her humor, her childlike innocence, her sensitivity, and her love. Listen for all the behind the scenes moments. Ciao!

02:05 Emily the Criminal, streaming on Netflix, is an impressive feature film debut that hits all the right notes, and then some.
18:27 Decision to Leave, streaming on Mubi, is stylish, unbridled, and utterly, unexpectedly romantic.
35:34 Plus, The White Lotus SEASON 2 FINALE!!!

We discuss The White Lotus season 2 and The Menu, two works highlighting the relationship between those who serve and those who take from the silver platter.
02:39 The White Lotus’s second season, streaming on HBO Max, is even better than the first, poking with a sharper, slyer stick at sex, power, and gender dynamics.
23:01 The Menu, currently in theaters, sufficiently skewers foodie culture and fine-dining fetishism, but fails to cut as deeply elsewhere.
37:58 Plus, culture notes about Andor, which has found itself in the middle of a squabble on the left about mass-culture art and revolutionary politics.
