    Emma Watson, The End Of Skinny & Nicole Kidman

    Hello Content Pups, strap in, seatbelts ON, we're going on a content road trip. This week on the podcast we’re talking about Emma Watson’s Jay Shetty interview (and the subsequent fall out), the way that GLP-1S, have democratised thinness - and what that means for body trends, and perhaps the biggest divorce in recent pop culture history  It's been a hefty week for celeb and pop culture stories, so yes you’re exactly right, we’re bringing back the EIC headlines; from Nicole Kidman's divorce, to Lola Young's statement and Super Bowl Sunday. Next up, last Wednesday an interview between podcaster and life coach Jay Shetty and actress Emma Watson was released. At time of recording the video of the interview on YouTube has almost 3 million views and over 6000 comments. It’s the only podcast she’s ever done and her first long form conversation in over five years. They get pretty candid about her recent driving ban for speeding, her complicated relationship to film promotion, sensitivity, fame, if she’ll return to acting, Harry Potter- all sorts. But the part that is hitting the headlines most this week is a part towards the end of the interview where Jay asks her about JK Rowling and the relationship between the two women. We get into it. And lastly, Christiana Mbakwe Medina for her Substack, Pop Syllabus, writes, ‘Right now, Ozempic and other GLP-1s are rapidly democratizing thinness, making it attainable to whomever can afford it. As a result, the value of thinness as a status symbol is diminishing, and I believe we’re about to enter a significant shift. Be prepared for The Sculpt'. Are we about to enter into a new body trend craze?

    Everything In Conversation: Is Cultural Snobbery Good?

    Happy Wednesday EICollective! This week we're getting high and mighty in a conversation about whether making elitist attitudes unfashionable has actually harmed the culture. As Rachel Aroesti investigated in a recent piece for The Guardian... in an era of AI slop and mid TV, is it time for cultural snobbery to make a comeback?  With your help we puzzle over issues of misogyny and classism in assigning labels of high and low brow, if phone addictions are making us less interested in good art and whether it's up to us to challenge each other to get more intellectual and curious in what we consume. As always thank you so much for listening and sending us your thoughts. If you'd like to take part in future episodes just follow us on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod See you Friday for more! O, R, B x The Guardian - Is it time for cultural snobbery to make a comeback?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Everything In Conversation: Cute Debt

    Pop your card into the EIC-ATM and get ready to withdraw some content- because this week we're talking all about the rise of "cute debt" and whether buy-now-pay-later schemes are really targeting the girls. In a recent piece for The Atlantic, Annie Joy Williams explores how female shoppers are being heavily marketed to by the likes of Klarna and Afterpay, who are drawing on fun, girly aesthetics to sell their services and make debt seem fun, silly and generally NBD! We share our own experiences and hear from you at home about why so many of us are falling victim to a splash of pink, a celeb endorsement and a cute Y2K moment. Thank you for all of your messages this week! If you're really in the mood to spoil us, how about a five star rating wherever you're listening right now? Thank you so much!

    Everything In Conversation: The Bop House & The Rise of 'Barely Legal' Fantasy

    Kisses from EIC – we're back with a spicy episode... The Bop House is a content creator house made up of OnlyFans creators with 3.6m subscribers on TikTok. They’ve had tonnes of controversy because lots of the creators who range from 18-24 exaggerate their baby faces and present what some say is a barely legal fantasy with braces they don't need, girly voices and cartoon PJs. Are they the natural amalgamation of reality TV, TikTok virality and online sex work? What is their impact? Thank you for all of your messages! Would you consider giving us a rating pleeeease?

    Everything In Conversation: Dark Romance

    Hello QTS, we're back with a not very cute subject, let's go to the dark side... Last week we read a piece on Substack called “We Have To Talk about Dark Romance” by Stella Tate, in which she grapples with a problematic literary genre. Dark romance, for anyone not aware, is a subgenre of romance literature, that features characters, relationships and dynamics that are typically taboo in other genres, often involving violence, obsession, stalking, emotional abuse and sexual assault. Basically the romantic heroes of these stories would often be the clear villain in any other story. And as Stella writes: “from the perspective of a highly non-judgmental book lover (or at least that’s who i aim to be), dark romance is mainly a romance that takes the shape of a horror story, or possibly a horrific tale dressed up as a romance. dark romance is a genre bender, with elements of romance and horror, not always in equal parts… dark romance doesn’t seem to be one thing or another; instead, it seems to me like a wide spectrum, where you can find all 50 shades of grey and more, from the lighter vampire love stories to the harder to swallow stalker romances with sexual abuse and all sorts of triggering content.”  We delve in! We Have To Talk About Dark Romance Thanks so much for all of your takes and comments on this topic, we love being in conversation with you all! O,R,B xx Hosted on Acast.
