In this episode of Need Some Introduction, Darren and I discuss a busy week of streaming, led by a breakdown of Euphoria season 3 episode 3, “The Ballad of Paladin,” centered on a lavish wedding that collapses under Nate’s hidden debts, violence, and Ru’s escalating criminal entanglements, including Western motifs, OnlyFans/crypto “gold rush” commentary, and standout scenes involving Jules and Nate’s dad. We also talk about how much we’re enjoying Margot’s Got Money Troubles (performances, tone, and skippable opening titles), react to the massively successful but sanitized Michael Jackson biopic (missing controversies, Janet Jackson, and cut scenes), and agree Apex is a frustrating Netflix misfire despite Charlize Theron. We cover cautious interest in Half Man as a Baby Reindeer follow-up, mixed feelings on Beef’s later episodes, and Victor flags Apple’s Widows Bay as an upcoming comedy-to-horror series.
