Queen Things

KJ Miller

Pop culture is serious business. Fortunately, KJ Miller is unserious enough to talk about it. Queen Things is a pop culture smorgasbord for people who want to talk about the thing behind the thing: the cultural forces behind the discourse, the strategy behind the rebrand, the mess behind the mess. As a founder, lecturer and creator she's ready to overthink it all. Come for the pop culture. Stay for the analysis, unnecessary deep dives, strong opinions, and occasional rant that started as one thought and somehow became a 45-minute episode.

    The Blue Wave + Your Capitalist in Chief Comments

    I almost never talk politics on this show, but today I MUST. Then: I’m back in the comments from last week’s Capitalist in Chief episode, responding to some of my favorites, including a few that had me typing with my chest. Let’s get into it. ***Sign Up Here for the Queen Reads Book Club!***https://www.eventbrite.com/e/queen-reads-book-club-tickets-2003004241606 Subscribe for monthly bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/c/queenthingspod https://queenthings.substack.com/ Join the conversation: TikTok -@queenthingspod⁠,⁠ @iam_kjmiller⁠ YouTube - www.youtube.com/@iamkjmiller IG:⁠@kjmiller Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/200570826-kj-miller References: Queen Reads Book Club Sign Up Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/queen-reads-book-club-tickets-2003004241606 2026 Election Coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/elections Historic Firsts of the 2026 Midterm Elections: https://www.cnn.com/2026/11/04/politics/historic-firsts-2026-election DillyDilly’s post about the election: https://www.tiktok.com/@officialdillydilly/video/7704212907168386334?_r=1&_t=ZT-9B81ZfYtJ0v Election Night at UT Austin: https://www.tiktok.com/@boisydboi/video/7704235742414834975?_r=1&_t=ZT-9B81Rbm77Eb Dr. Abdul El-Sayed’s Victory Speech: https://www.tiktok.com/@therecount/video/7704211830402518303?_r=1&_t=ZT-9B81RD69slS My TikTok on the Victory Speech: https://www.tiktok.com/@iam_kjmiller/video/7704317675492756749?q=iam_kjmiller&t=1793816274984 Ro Khanna’s comments about Progressive Candidates: https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/usa-news/ro-khanna-says-progressive-agenda-can-win-anywhere-after-abdul-el-sayeds-michigan-victory/ AOC’s comments about the Michigan race: https://abcnews.com/Politics/abdul-win-michigan-win-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-outlines/story?id=137033194

    Bey vs. Tay: Who's *Really* Capitalist in Chief? [OCTOBER BONUS]

    They both love money - but who loves it more? I'm finally (and somewhat unseriously) crowning the *TRUE* Capitalist in Chief.

    Kelly Clarkson Don’t Play + Grammy Predictions

    Kelly Clarkson’s toy store standoff just escalated...if you can believe it.Then: my Grammy predictions for Taylor’s chances, who I actually think should win Album, Record, and Song of the Year, plus a surprise from the country category. A little Broadway talk, and a hair extension story that’s got the internet finally agreeing on something.

    The Men Are Not Alright

    A lot of men, none of them making it easy. We’re kicking off with your Swiftologist takes, digging into Pete Davidson’s foolish Variety interview, breezing through Eminem and Kid Rock "setting politics aside" for a new song, and, frustratingly, addressing the Cornell case.
