So No One Told You Life Was Gonna Be This Way

Hi lovely listeners, We're coming to you live from VIC Lockdown 159280 (Lockdown 4). We start off by breaking down the Friends reunion. The cast has reunited after 17 years in a movie-length show on HBO Max/ Binge. We discuss the valid criticism of the show, why the ageist comments towards the cast are wrong and our personal highlights. Jasmine references her own Fashion Journal article Niche Shows Worth Watching For The ’90s Fashion Alone as well as this Vox article titled Friends Is 25 years old. It's Still Extremely Popular - And Polarizing by Kelsey Miller. In some positive environmental news, eight teenagers and an 86-year-old nun have successfully found that the Environment Minister Sussan Ley has a duty of care towards young Australians. We discuss if this is meaningful or more lip service. Then it's time to put on your critical thinking caps because we discuss this sociology theory that's (strangely) been popping up on our social media feeds lately. An extract from Marilyn Frye's 1983 work The Politics of Reality asks if heterosexual male culture is actually male-loving. Jasmine references this TikTok as well as Laura Mulvey's male gaze theory.Maggie recommends Dina Litovsky's photojournalism work of Amish communities while Jas recommends a piece of long-form journalism by American writer Barrett Swanson titled The Anxiety of Influencers for Harper's magazine. There's also a podcast format if you'd prefer to listen to his discussion!India Raine is our wonderful producer and composer of our jingle. Email us at [email protected], find us on Instagram @cultureclubpod, or on our personal accounts @jasmineeskye and @yemagz. That's all for now, folks. Chat to you next week and stay safe, Victoria. Jas and Mags xoxo Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast.
