Joe Budden Breaks Down Paradise S2 Ep 1-4 (Spoilers)

TL;DR

Joe Budden recaps Paradise Season 2 episodes 1-4, arguing a female character's death and Sterling K. Brown's burdens prove patriarchy's importance.

Key Points

• 1.- Joe Budden uses Paradise S2 Ep4 as a vehicle to argue that patriarchy is 'important,' framing the female character's choices as proof women need male guidance
• 2.- The female character (unnamed) refused to leave with a man who warned she'd die alone in the apocalypse, locked herself in the bathroom instead of responding, and was later found by Sterling K. Brown's character
• 3.- Sterling K. Brown's character, searching for his own wife in a post-apocalyptic world, promises to help the woman find her baby's father — a promise Joe criticizes as absurd given the stakes
• 4.- Brown's character risks his life to find help for the woman during labor, delivers her baby while processing his own trauma from a previous delivery, only for the woman to die after childbirth
• 5.- The show Paradise is set in a billionaire-built underground city with simulated weather designed to preserve select people from the end of the world; the hosts describe it as a 'really good show' worth watching
