Author June Sayers (@ JuneSayers1) joins Lewis and Nick to discuss sex work, the alienation of the late aughts, and the supremely underrated direction of "The Girlfriend Experience" (2009). This nearly plotless film, which explores the ennui of existence, is a supreme testament to the validity of hot rights (neatly capturing the prime interests of Lewis, Nick, and June, respectively). Soderbergh and star Sasha Grey knock it out of the park with this late capitalist masterpiece.
