Video killed the radio star.And social media killed the movie star.In this episode, we explore how celebrity culture has shifted over time, and why it no longer feels as distant, polished, or controlled.From gatekeepers and manufactured auras to influencers, scandals, meme fame, and parasocial relationships, we break down how attention became currency and how eyeballs decide who matters now.We talk about celebrities you once loved and don’t anymore, why a like from a famous person feels way too personal, how weddings turned celebrities into side characters, and why staying a celebrity today is harder than becoming one.This is not a cancellation episode.This is not a hate episode.It’s a conversation about fame, power, attention, and why we’re all slightly obsessed and slightly exhausted.Watch till the end.And yes, celebrities, we still love you. Please come on our show.
