🪈 You Lot Are Tripping Balls Over the New ‘White Lotus’ Theme Song /// Hearing Things

Taking away the ooh-woo-ooohs is the equivalent of that Australian porter demanding the North Carolinian Ratliff family put their cell phones in a Faraday bag for safekeeping.

Viewers are feeling their uncomfortable absence like the fear that creeps in when all our distractions are removed and we only have ourselves to contend with.

My wife has been throwing a fit about this and I defended it saying I’m pretty sure it’s an evolution inspired by the calm of the wellness theme. She didn’t care.
