Spoiler Special: Tiger King
On the Spoiler Special podcast, Slate critics discuss movies, the occasional TV show, and, once in a blue moon, another podcast, in full spoiler-filled detail. This week, Sam Adams is joined by Slate\u2019s Television Critic Willa Paskin to spoil Netflix\u2019s hit documentary series Tiger King. The hit series is an increasingly sordid tale of wild characters conning each other out of zoos. The show\u2019s standout character is Joe Exotic, whose charisma and personality are made for reality television. He has a long time feud with Carole Baskin, who runs the nonprofit Big Cat Rescue and is actively trying to shut private zoos down. Will Carole succeed? What happens when Joe tries to hire someone to murder Carole? And when will anyone focus on the questionable conditions forced on the big cats?\n\nYou can read Sam Adams\u2019 review here and his story about the artists behind Joe Exotic\u2019s music here.\xa0\n\nYou can read Willa Paskin\u2019s piece about Carole Baskin here.\xa0\n\nNote: As the title indicates, this podcast contains spoilers galore.\n\nSlate Plus members get ad-free podcasts and access to exclusive shows like Dana Stevens\u2019 classic movies podcast Flashback.
