The Thrill: On Scientology and selfies

This week, on Maclean’s pop-culture podcast—Adrian Lee, Emma Teitel and Julia De Laurentiis Johnson—we take a deep dive into HBO’s riveting documentary about Scientology, Going Clear. It’s finally in Canadian theatres this week, so we brought in Nick Köhler, who has written his own investigation into Scientology for Maclean’s in the past, to discuss the film, the church, and more. Then, with Kim Kardashian’s book of selfies, Selfish, now out in stores, we argue whether selfies are vain exercises and whether Kim Kardashian has talent.
