Jarret gets on his Ivory soap box about colonization, minority erasure, and not touching women’s tattoos. Melissa tolerates all this and actually notices some interesting details about the latest episode of Sharp Objects, “Closer.” This one’s problematic, so we talk about The Great Gatsby and Harry Potter instead. Not kidding, sort of.
