I May Destroy You Season 1 Review (with Beth Varner)

Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You concluded last night. It's one of the most thought-provoking, well-made shows I've seen in awhile. I hopped on Skype with my friend Beth and we chatted about it.

And Here We Go....

Thanks to everyone who's already contributed to the Patreon! I wanted to re-iterate what's in my "About" section and run down what these rewards are all about. I put a lot of thought into these tiers but please note that some of this is still subject to change. I will be as transparent as possible in communicating that if it does. 

But also, I would love to hear from you about why you're contributing to the Patreon! Is there any specific reward that you want to see...
