"Bring me a unicorn!" was the rallying cry for VC funders in Silicon Valley during its glory days, and apparently the demand from network execs looking for new content. Because over the course of a single month, we were treated to Hulu's The Dropout, Apple TV+'s WeCrashed, and Showtime's Super Pumped. 

All three are based on real-life disruptors that promised to revolutionize medicine, real estate, and taxis. All three failed to varying degrees. But we already know those scandals: Kasey and Mark want to talk about the accent and voice work that these series boast at their cores. From Amanda Seyfried's riff on Mira Sorvino in Romy and Michelle to Anne Hathaway delivering the best performance of her career as Rebecca Neumann to Uma Thurman as Ariana Huffington, these are the performances we need to discuss.
