Seeking: Questrom-COM Swap So We Can Both Understand Succession

Dear Reader, 

I come to you as a humble film and television major with a dream: to understand what the fuck they’re talking about on the hit HBO series for the girlies: Succession. Every Sunday night, me and my legion of gay people crowd onto my couch and watch our favorite sluts, babygirls, and losers duke it out for an hour straight. But what was that? Did Kendall just mention the stock market? What’s all this GoJo business? A girl can only understand so much!

That’s where you come in, my dear Questrom friend. We’ve had our differences in the past, but at the end of the day we’re both going into made up industries that treat their employees like shit, so why not form an alliance? You can explain business concepts to me like I’m an idiot (which I know you love to do) and I will listen intently about whatever a shareholder is. 

You might be thinking “what’s in this for me?” In exchange for your contributions, I will give you my exclusive insight on the show as a gay person. Have you ever picked up on how Tom and Greg are in love with each other? Or wondered “hmm, why does this scene take place in a karaoke bar?” Or thought about the parallels between Logan’s relationship with his kids and Phoebe Bridgers’ music? Yeah, I thought not. I can open your eyes to the wonders of fancams and TikTok slideshows alike. 

And let me tell you, my time in Screen Language has really taught me some useful information. You want to know about tilts, close ups, and dutch angles? I know you do, you freak. You wanna know why Kendall’s always in water? Again, I know you do, you slut. Your Questrom education simply could not have prepared you for these big questions. 

So you see, my media-analysis-challenged pal, this could be a very fruitful partnership. One that bridges the gap between our two stupid, stupid fields. And may COM and Questrom majors alike walk across that bridge for the rest of time (or until a new show about a rich family inevitably comes out in the next few months because HBO is out of ideas).
