Kelly Clarkson’s “Pretty Woman” Store Clash: Who’s Telling the Truth? | The Karel Cast

I watched East of Eden the last couple days on Netflix.

Y'all seen this? It's one of the number one shows on Netflix called East of Eden from the Steinbeck novel.

And it's been a long time since I've visited Steinbeck, and now I realize why.

First of all, what a depressing guy.

Everybody in Steinbeck's life in Salinas was obviously dysfunctional.

I mean, just obviously.

And sec- and there's so many tropes in it that were upsetting to me.

Catherine, the mother of the two boys and the w- the wife of Adam, who turns into a madam, uh, you know, the evil woman.

She's portrayed as the evil woman.

She's, uh, gotta die a terrible death because she's a, you know, a, a hooker and a ma- um, um, a madam and all of that.

Uh, she was mentally unwell.

She was a psychopathic narcissist.

She needed medication.

Uh, but of course she's portrayed as evil.

She was evil, but she was evil because she was mentally ill.

Uh, no one says, "Throw the babies into the well," unless they got a little bit of postpartum depression there.

Second of all, after she leaves and he hires the Chinese gentleman named Lee, Adam hires Lee to raise Cal and Aaron, the two children, 'cause it's about three generations of kids, very Cain and Abel, and, uh, there's a catchphrase through the whole thing, like Temlish or Temlock or whatever it means.

It's a biblical term, uh, that means, you know, you can, you can choose, all that Um, you have the ability to choose.

Uh, so anyway, I watched this, and I gotta tell you what I learned when I came, when we come back.

If you've ever seen East of Eden or read the book
