What to Doc: “YouTube astrologer Katie Griggs rose to fame as the face of Kundalini yoga and reinvented herself as Guru Jagat, attracting followers — including celebrities and fee-paying devotees — with promises of prosperity, physical health, and spiritual fulfillment. Breath of Fire offers a multi-decade examination of the corruption within Kundalini yoga and a portrait of a misguided guru and master manipulator, spotlighting the uneasy nexus of the American dream, self-invention, and fanatical ideology.” Check out Breath of Fire on Max. It’s a really interesting look into what drives cult leading narcissists and their followers.
+ What to Watch: August Wilson’s excellent play The Piano Lesson has been turned into a movie that’s getting excellent reviews and is available now on Netflix.
+ What to Binge: I’ve suggested Industry on Max before. But I just sat on the couch as my wife binged all three seasons. So here’s a reminder to check out this very well-reviewed series that doesn’t seem to get as much hype as it deserves.
