On the Spoiler Special podcast, Slate critics discuss movies, the occasional TV show, and, once in a blue moon, another podcast, in full spoiler-filled detail. This week, Slate’s Sam Adams, Matthew Dessem, and Daniel Schroeder spoil Hollywood. Ryan Murphy and co-creator Ian Brennan reimagine a more inclusive golden-age of filmmaking. While the first couple episodes of the Netflix series stay relatively grounded in reality, the series takes a sharp right turn into self-serving fantasy by simplifying the fight for equality and progress within Hollywood.  You can read Sam Adam’s review <a href="https://slate.com/culture/2020/05/hollywood-netflix-ryan-murphy-series-rewrites-history.html">here</a>.  You can read Matthew Dessem’s Fact Versus Fiction <a href="https://slate.com/culture/2020/05/hollywood-accuracy-fact-fiction-ryan-murphy-netflix-series.html">here</a>.
