Episode Synopsis
🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODEEpisode 127 – AdolescenceAndy and Roger tackle the Netflix series Adolescence, dissecting the critical response and its portrayal of masculinity, youth radicalisation, and social influence. The discussion kicks off with Roger recounting a listener’s question about tariffs and Trump’s misleading rhetoric, before pivoting to Andy’s frustration over the show’s reception.They discuss whether the series' depiction of toxic masculinity and social alienation accurately reflects broader societal trends or merely indulges in moral panic. Roger plays devil’s advocate, suggesting generational shifts in how masculinity is perceived and shaped, while Andy critiques the series for its exaggerated depiction of schools, parenting, and social decay.From Andrew Tate’s divisive messaging to the perceived influence of the manosphere, Andy and Roger challenge the notion that harmful ideologies can completely corrupt ‘normal’ boys. They also touch on the complexities of online dating, social isolation, and how narratives like Adolescence contribute to anxiety about raising boys in the modern world.Hashtags: #AdolescenceSeries #ToxicMasculinity #AndrewTate #Manosphere #SocialMediaInfluence #NetflixDebate #ModernParenting #YouthCulture #OnlineRadicalisation #AndyAndRoger #PodcastDiscussion #GenerationalDivide #ParentingDilemmas #CulturalCriticism #UKDrama #MoralPanicEngage with us on social media:Website:http://themiddle.site/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the_middle_podcast/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@themiddlepodcastandyrogerFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Middle-Podcast/100089236832534/Twitter:https://twitter.com/TheMiddlePCEmail:[email protected] up to our subscriber email list:Visit our website: http://themiddle.site/Or click: https://forms.gle/4qATmU2yiHgjZrej8
