Elon Musk's crazy week with Trump – Gladiator battle! Paul Mescal vs. Paddington – The papers go moth mad!

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Miranda has questions about Musk’s new job in Trump’s administration. Athena dives into The Guardian’s reviews of Gladiator 2 and Paddington but ends up just wanting to talk about Denzel Washington. Plus, The Times has a harrowing tale about moths that Zing finds all too relatable.    Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Zing Tsjeng and comedian Athena Kogblenu.    Support Paper Cuts and get mugs, t-shirts, extended ad-free editions and access to our exclusive live stream on the 21st of September: back.papercutsshow.com    Follow Paper Cuts:  • Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/papercutsshow.bsky.social  • Threads: https://www.threads.net/@papercutsshow  • Twitter: https://twitter.com/papercutsshow  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/papercutsshow  • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@papercutsshow    Illustrations by Modern Toss https://moderntoss.com     Written and presented by Miranda Sawyer.
