Madeline and Charlotte watched Enigma, that three-hour long documentary about Aaron Rodgers on Netflix and are telling you what they thought about it. It’s quite an experience: the footage takes viewers along with Rodgers as he contemplates becoming Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, as he tries to return to the football field with the New York Jets after tearing his Achilles tendon, and as he does Ayahuasca in Costa Rica. Rodgers also touches on his brother Jordon’s appearance on The Bachelorette, where Jordan revealed that Aaron and his family are no longer on speaking terms. The gals also figured out the key to Rodgers’ happiness using astrocartography. Find another podcast doing that. The series itself was pretty boring, but it was fascinating to look at the broader meaning of the whole project. What is a true documentary? Why do we still watch stuff about and care about Aaron Rodgers? Why does this series perpetuate dangerous ideas that don’t get fact-checked? And what does it all say about us as a society? All that and more! This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit sportsgossipshow.substack.com/subscribe Hosted on Acast.
