The Influencer

Episode 5 of 6

Wicky visits a social media influencer with millions of followers and an unhealthy obsession with the 1980s.

Wicky attends the home of ‘Home Alone Hosea’, a 23-year-old social media influencer with millions of followers and an unhealthy obsession with the 1980s. Wicky is amazed to be surrounded by the relics of his childhood, one of which, a dangerously malfunctioning arcade machine, has recently electrocuted a repairman. Wicky does his usual professional job of clearing up the mess, but Hosea is furious: the electrician’s gory remains were perfect viral content, and Hosea was planning a livestream from the scene of the accident. As they look for a way out of this cleaned-up mess, their generation gap becomes ever more obvious.
