The Problematic Gaze
Direct from PG Towers, join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture of yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. Each week we focus on a different piece of pop culture, and put it into context by looking at the news events and cultural landscape of the year it was released.
The Problematic Gaze
'Friends' US Sitcom from 2001. Speeding tickets, pink knickers and Kathleen Turner
Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week, we cast our gaze on the classic US sitcom 'Friends'. Chandler meets his 'Dad', Ross and Rachel go for a drive, and Joey has underwear issues. How does Friends stand up to a modern lens?
Also, who has severely depleted Dave's rum stock? And we take a deep dive into Lee's drag bag!
You can watch Friends Season 7 Episode 22 on Netflix in the UK
