Hi friends! Welcome back to another ep of Culture Club. We jump right into it this week discussing our thoughts on Sex Education and our King Lil Nas X’ new album. There’s also an update on last week’s story about the reality series The Activist. We read from judge Julianne Hough’s Instagram apology. The biggest night in fashion, the Met Gala took place last week. We chat about the behind-the-scenes GRWM videos and the appeal of BTS film photos. Activist slogans were front and centre on the red carpet. We break down if Cara Delevigne’s ‘Peg the Patriarchy’ vest was giving what it was supposed to give and whether or not AOC’s ‘Tax the Rich’ dress was performative. We read from Luna Matatas’ Instagram post about her copyrighted phrase ‘Peg the Patriarchy’. Last week, Mac Miller’s estate re-released a single off his 2014 mixtape ‘Faces’. Three years after his untimely death of an accidental drug overdose, it seems fans are still lapping up his music. This sparked a discussion into whether posthumous album releases are ethical. We reference Tupac Shakur’s haunting 2012 Coachella hologram and the exploitation of Amy Winehouse (even after her death).In this segment, we read from a 2012 MTV article by James Montgomery titled ‘Tupac’s Coachella Hologram and the Rise of the Not-So Live Revue’ and ‘When I’m Gone: Is it Ethical to Release Music by Deceased Artists?’ by Dean Van Nguyen for The Face magazine. Maggie recommends a comedy murder mystery series starring Selena Gomez called ‘Only Murders in the Building’ available on Disney+ while Jas recommends a podcast called ‘9/12’. It’s an audio documentary on how 9/11 the day became 9/11 the idea. Katie Zhou created our fab cover art and India Raine is our wonderful producer and composer of our jingle.
