The hosts discuss the Netflix series "Painkiller" and the previous show "Dopesick," characterizing them as efforts to whitewash the broader pharmaceutical industry by focusing all blame on the Sackler family. They argue that while the Sacklers were responsible for the opioid crisis, other major companies like Johnson & Johnson have paid significantly larger fines for similar malfeasance that receives less media dramatization.
