Ep. 8: Catfish
Release Date:
Original Publish Date: July 20, 2020 We went old school this week with a documentary from 2010 that exposed deception on the internet and gave it the cute name "Catfish." Nev Schulman, Ariel Schulman, and Henry Joost document the relationship between Nev and 8 year old wunderkind, Abby. Abby paints canvases of Nev's beautiful photography and sends them to him as gifts. Nev soon develops relationships with Abby's mother and a romantic relationship with Abby's 19 year old sister. But is everyone who they say they are?

This is a fascinating look at life on the internet and how easily we can build a world that appears perfect when the reality is much different.
