Refigure E12 – Netflix & Chilli

Published: Oct. 25, 2018, 8:48 a.m.

Rifa and Chris scrabble through the detritus of the week's arts, culture, tech and diversity. Episode #12 is meant to be a Netflix special but our fearsome pair stupidly ate a load of intense Thai takeout during taping, so the second half goes a bit loopy in a chilli-high haze. Anyway, they watch the new Derren Brown special Sacrifice, in which Derren tries to solve racism by attempting to 'persuade' a (friendly) bigot to take a bullet for an illegal immigrant. They also binge psychedelic multi-reality drama series Maniac, starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill. Chris is reading Robin Ince's new non-fiction book about psychology, I'm A Joke And So Are You. Rifa is still reading Arundhati Roy's The Ministry Of Utmost Happiness and feels differently about it now.
