THE CONNECT's first episode compares Kanye West's bombastic new album, THE LIFE OF PABLO, to Gaspar Noe's Parisian unsimulated sex odyssey, LOVE.

Hosts James Rathbone and Marko Orlic delve into egocentrism, misogyny, indulgence, provocation, sentimentality, and self-awareness in relation to the two artists. Collaborators, mismarketing, reactions, and the aesthetic of their recent works are also discussed.
