Show Notes
Jane Lipsitz, executive producer, and Trymaine Lee, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author, discuss The New Stanford Prison Experiment, the six-part Netflix series in which thirty volunteers enter a prison facility and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They explore the controversial 1971 study that inspired the series, the safeguards behind this new version, and what unfolds when ordinary people are given power over others.
Kate and Trymaine also share a personal connection: both attended the Milton Hershey School. Kate explains why the series reminded her of her own experience there, bringing a personal perspective to questions about authority, conformity, belonging, and individuality.

More from Reality Life with Kate Casey
Brian Moylan joins Kate to break down this week’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Orange County, New York, and Potomac. They discuss the drama, shifting alliances, and whether the franchises have become more about power within the cast than the women’s actual lives.
Kate discusses what to watch this week including SCTV: The Greatest Show You’ve Never Heard Of (Netflix), Love is Blind (Netflix), The One About Matthew Perry (Netflix), and The Mob (Hulu).
Angelo Pizzo, the screenwriter of Hoosiers and Rudy, returns for part two of a conversation about two of the greatest sports films ever made. Angelo reveals the movie star who first agreed to play Coach Norman Dale, and the unlikely producer who cried through the script and finally paid for the film after a year and a half of rejections. He also opens up about working with Gene Hackman, who arrived on set convinced Hoosiers would end his career. He discusses the half hour that had to be cut from the film, how Jerry Goldsmith came to score both movies for almost nothing, and why Rudy’s theme became one of the most recognizable pieces of music in sports. Angelo also shares the casting of Sean Astin, Ned Beatty and Jon Favreau, how Bob Knight inspired Norman Dale, and the story behind his newest and most personal film, Bloomington.
Chris DeRosa joins Kate to discuss episodes 6-8 of Netflix’s Love Is Blind: Boston, breaking down the vacations, realizing their fiancé may be a hoarder, and meeting their potential new in-laws.
They were Miami royalty: twins Oren and Alon Alexander and their older brother Tal, sons of Israeli immigrants who built a security empire, became the most famous luxury real estate brokers in the country, and Oren’s wedding was even featured in Vogue. Behind the private jets and Hamptons parties, prosecutors say, they lured, drugged, and raped women for more than a decade, and in March 2026 a federal jury found all three guilty on every count. Director Emma Schwartz returns to discuss her Peacock docuseries The Wolves of Real Estate: The Alexander Brothers, which she filmed in real time as the case unfolded.
