Made for Love feat. Alison Herman

Published: April 13, 2021, 9 a.m.

We discuss Made for Love, the new HBO Max adaptation of Alissa Nutting's novel, about the wife of a tech billionaire who tries to escape their toxic 10-year marriage, only to find that he's everywhere she is.

It's dark, cynical, and dystopic — but also zany, absurd, and wry. Truly a work for the end of the world AKA our bleak future!!!!

We're joined by a special guest: the very smart and funny Alison Herman, who writes mostly about TV for the Ringer. Follow her on Twitter (@aherman2006) and read her review of _Made for Love_.
