#56 What I've been reading, watching and listening to this week.

A wild new documentary series and Hannah Einbinder's first comedy special.

I don’t know why it took me weeks to discover Ren Faire, the documentary series about the power struggle behind America’s biggest renaissance festival.

The three-part series follows King George, the 86-year-old overlord of the Texas Renaissance Festival, who has decided that in nine years, at the age of 95, he wants to die by assisted suicide in Switzerland.

This means he needs to find the fair’s next ‘King’ so he can spend his remaining days filtering through the women he meets on sugar daddy websites, so he can find the ‘natural-breasted’ love of his life.

This decision, of course, ignites a power struggle between the most ambitious members of the renaissance festival, who will stop at nothing to wear the crown.

It’s basically like Succession meets Tiger King meets your weirdest fever dream and it’s streaming on Binge in Australia.
