But Sam Levinson, I think it's fair to say, many, many people would tell you that he's not particularly well-loved.

However, because he brought in this audience, he then wanted to do this other thing, which was The Idol, which he did with The Weeknd.

That's the one that stars Lily Rosedep and The Weeknd.

I have to say, if that was set out to satirise, well, not satirise, but to critique exploitation and cultish behaviour...

If you've listened to this podcast before, you may well have heard me say that episode three of that is potentially the worst episode of television I've ever seen.

But whatever.

So I don't think people within the cast were thrilled.

And also...

If they are going to do season three and wrap up this story that they maybe feel they owe something to.

I mean, Zendaya's done like Dune, Challengers, the drama, lots of things like that.

Sidney Sweeney's done Anyone But You.

Since it wrapped, The Housemaid, Immaculate.

Okay, I'm mad I'm web, but you know, it's a movie.

Jacob Elordi's on Saltburn, Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights.

Yeah, and I think everyone involved in that was just hoping they would just get out alive of that.

It didn't, but you can find it all.

You can still go and watch it.

But anyway, so during that time, all of those people became not just, you know, they didn't just have good roles.
