Ep 136 MISS AMERICANA with comedian Brooke Heinichen

On Ep 136 host Paco Romane sits down with comedian Brooke Heinichen to recap and discuss the Netflix documentary Miss Americana. Brooke guides Paco thru the life and albums (seriously, Brooke made a album to album synopsis) of Taylor Swift. They also talked about being a woman in Entertainment, technology, ageism, Brooke’s pet peeve and you get to hear Paco do a horrible British accent!

Watching Miss Americana you get the feeling that the entire documentary wants you to see Taylor Swift as we first see her – sitting relaxed and drinking coffee, looking through her journal and talking about her past relationships and what kind of person she sees herself being in the future. These quiet solo moments are a world removed from her giant, arena shows that are packed with adoring fans. In one telling moment we see Taylor look from behind a curtain as if she is still surprised that fans come see her shows. This documentary can feel like its made more for long time fans of Taylor’s. If you watch Miss Americana as someone that doesn’t yet know much about her you’ll leave with a feeling that there is much more to talk about what makes Taylor Swift…Taylor Swift.
