    The Troubles, A Troubling Interview & The Metrics Of Sexiness

    Beth, Ruchira and Oenone have been watching, listening and reading... as always. This week, they've all been binging the new historical drama, Say Nothing. The new nine part Disney Plus show is an adaptation of Patrick Redden Keefe’s bestselling book of the same name. The book came out in 2018, the series just dropped last week. It follows closely to the narrative of the book, which was about the Troubles, the IRA, the provisional IRA and a now notorious woman at the centre of it all, Dolours Price. Next up, in an interview with Eva Wiseman for the Observer, actor and director Rebecca Hall says she doesn’t regret working with Woody Allen - a statement which unsurprisingly inspired many a headline. Shockingly, this wasn't the only viral moment of the piece, as Hall also detailed her unconventional wedding to husband and fellow actor Morgan Spector. And lastly, would you want a Sexiest Woman of The Year Award? Or is the men's one already bad enough? In a piece for Grazia titled '‘Sexiest Man Alive’: Here’s Why Lusting Over Men Is Different To Lusting Over Women', the writer Nikki Peach argues that the world is not yet evolved enough for this to happen. Do you agree?

    Skincare Horror, Mid Movies and Kicking Kids Offline

    For the second time this week Beth, Ruchira and Oenone are in your ears talking all things pop culture. First we're discussing Skincare- a film that sounds like it has all the active ingredients for glowing success. Elizabeth Banks stars as an aesthetician & skincare mogul whose life starts to wrinkle after being targeted on & offline. 5 stars or total wet flannel? Next up we're examining the charm of middlebrow movies- e.g. the films that don't break the box office or re-invent cinema but are perfectly good nonetheless. Where did they go and can we have them back before the Marvel and Mattel takeover is complete? Finally we're scrolling down under as Australia proposes plans to kick all kids off social media. The news has been met with both praise and criticism- could it actually do some good or is it too little too late from governments who haven't thought things through? Thank you so much for listening! Please make sure you're following us both here on your podcast app and on Instagram & TikTok @everythingiscontentpod and if you fancy leaving us a rating or review... we heard 5 stars is nice this time of year. -----------  The Guardian - Bird Mad About The Boy Trailer Louis Theroux x Barry Keoghan Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout Variety - Skincare review Everything Is Content - May/December Vox - "Middlebrow" doesn't mean bad YouTube - Matt Damon x Hot Ones CNBC - Australia plans to ban under 16s from social media The Guardian - America's tech bros now strut their stuff in the corridors of power Hosted on Acast.

    Literary Dilemmas, Influencer Coaching & Boys vs Girls

    Happy Friday (following the longest week of 2024). First up, artist and poet James Massiah has claimed that bestselling author Coco Mellors (Blue Sisters) brazenly based one of her characters on him. Beth, Ruchira and Oenone dig into the story and ask: just how much can artists borrow from real life, especially when inspiration comes from people around them?  Also, would you sign up for an influencer academy? A New York Times feature dives into influencer Valeria Lipovetsky's new and exclusive scheme that promises to help budding influencers break into the industry. Is it a scam or a savvy business idea for everyone involved? And finally, a "global gender divide" is sweeping the world, as experts warn that more and more young men are voting right, as young women vote progressively. A political split is widening between the two everywhere from the UK, to South Korea and Tunisia. Are we f****d as a society?  Thank you so much for listening to us. We love every single person who blasts us in their ears - especially those who follow us and gift us a 5* on their podcast app.  -----------  https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/760838/fundamentally-by-nussaibah-younis/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/17/movies/anora-review.html https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b0b7r2k6/mortimer-whitehouse-gone-fishing  https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/nov/04/london-poet-accuses-author-coco-mellors-of-basing-blue-sisters-character-on-him https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/12/11/cat-person https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/what-it-felt-like-when-cat-person-went-viral https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/26/style/influencer-creator-method-valeria-lipovetsky.html https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/exit-polls  https://cawp.rutgers.edu/gender-gap-voting-choices-presidential-elections  https://www.ft.com/content/29fd9b5c-2f35-41bf-9d4c-994db4e12998 Hosted on Acast.

Forget Sky or the BBC, we have you covered.  Also introducing a new segment where we're in conversation with you. This week you voted on our Instagram for us to cover Lily Allen's recent moves on OnlyFans where she shares footpics.

    Spooky Faves, Gay Halloween and RIP Birth Rates

    BOO - Beth, Ruchira and Oenone are back to scare you with some scarily-astute analysis of pop culture in time for Halloween week. First, just how much do they love horror as a genre? From memories of sleepovers and scary-movies, to the recent rise of artistic horrors with social commentary i.e. Jordan Peele's 'Get Out', they dive into their changing relationship to jump-scares and frightening films. Also, listen to hear their best horror recommendations across literature, TV and film. A new meme has the internet in a chokehold. 'Gay Halloween' has radically changed the dressing-up landscape, with people boasting about their pop culture knowledge by donning the most obscure referential costume they can, so only the chronically online understand it. Is it fun or is it pretentious? Finally, we can't forget the real world is full of horrifying things including recent stats that show a significant decline in birth rates. Should women bear the brunt of this societal issue? Whose responsibility is it that we're moving towards an ageing population? If you have anything you want to add to this week’s episode we would LOVE to hear it on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod. See you over there!
