Davis and Alex sit down with their hero Alissa Bennett, historian of bad behavior, cohost of The C-Word with Lena Dunham, legendary professor at Yale and Sarah Lawrence, and cultural archivist of obsession, fame, and self-destruction.

The conversation dives into the messy allure of pop culture’s fallen icons including Britney Spears, Brittany Murphy, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes, and Amy Winehouse, and explores the strange cultural threads that bind them. Alissa opens up about her own obsessions such as paparazzi, procrastination, death, and drugs.

Along the way we meet her son, Oliver Nirenberg, (seen in Lena Dunham’s Too Much), revisit teenage raving with icon Mel Ottenberg (editor in chief of Interview Magazine) and examine how academia bleeds into obsession, modeling, and fame. From Victorian laudanum highs to anorexia as a sub-passion, from glitches in culture to the seductive pull of bad behavior, this episode is an intoxicating ride into the underbelly of celebrity and scholarship.
