This week, Gaia and Neeta cover Hamilton in light of its recent release on Disney Plus. We talk about Lin Manuel Miranda’s treatment of Puerto Rico, how Hamilton was a product of its time, and whether or not immigrants have to get the job done (can’t we just like…live?). We discuss the extremely controversial LIN LIP BITING MEME and bully him for it (just a tad). Daniel Radcliffe’s little Daniel Radcliffe makes a special guest appearance and we attempt to cultivate a Nuanced Relationship with the media we consume: Is it possible?! Find out this week on 'Bitch, Why?’
Be sure to leave us a review and email us at b.tchwhy@gmail.com if you have a topic you want us to cover (or just to say hi)!
