071 | Vibe Shift 三部曲：保守女性气质的回潮 The Return of Conservative Femininity

【聊了什么The What】在“女权疲劳”与“woke倦怠”之后，美国流行文化正在经历一场“女性气质”的回潮（Vibe Shift）：保守女性气质重新流行起来。本期节目我们深入聊了姐妹会文化、MAGA美妆、还有TikTok上那些看似“非政治”的倡导健康生活的视频，是如何一步步把女性重新绑回“温柔、克制、顺从”的模子里，在无形中复活了反女性主义的观念。从阿拉巴马大学的 Bama Rush 现象到 Sydney Sweeney 的“cool girl”形象，这场Vibe Shift不仅是审美的变化，更是一种政治与文化的再编码，当流行文化把政治意识形态与个人价值混为一谈，什么样的女性故事被放大，又有哪些被抹去？ As part two of our Vibe Shift Trilogy, this episode dives into the return of conservative femininity in American pop culture today. We dive into pop culture moments such as Bama Rush, MAGA beauty trends on TikTok, the rise of wellness influencers and how their “apolitical” content is quietly reviving anti-feminist ideals of the olden days. The vibe shift isn’t just about aesthetics, but a recoding of culture and politics. In this shift, we question what kinds of stories of womanhood get amplified — and which are erased? 【时间轴 The When】 1:30: Sydney Sweeney 牛仔裤广告的争议，保守派审美的回归 8:00 “男人圈” vs “女人圈” 文化是如何通过健身、美容等“非政治”话题，随后逐渐渗入反女性主义和厌女的意识形态。 11:20 女人圈的健康类头部播客如何散播保守女性主义，“健康 = 美丽 = 道德” 14:20 自由派女性叙事倦怠，保守叙事趁虚而入 23:48 从Bama Rush大学姐妹会文化来看美国南方保守主义的女性理想 38:44 保守叙事下新一代女性的人生理想是如何变成寻找值得依靠的伴侣 1:30 Sydney Sweeney and her jeans/genes and the return of the conservative femininity 8:00 – “manosphere” vs “womanosphere” cultures use seemingly non-political topics like fitness and beauty to gradually introduce anti-feminist and misogynistic ideologies 11:20 – top women’s health podcasts in the “womanosphere” spread conservative femininity, promoting the idea that “Health = Beauty = Morality” 14:20 – Fatigue with liberal female narratives opens the door for conservative messaging 23:48 – Examining ideals of Southern conservative femininity through Bama Rush and Greek life 38:44 – The reinvention of the feminist ideal: securing a reliable partner and what that means for society 【拓展链接 The Links】社会学家Anne Helen Petersen关于Bama Rush的文章，链接【疲惫红书 CyberRed】除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

070 | Vibe Shift 三部曲：被社交媒体撕裂的爱丁顿 Eddington Under Siege

【聊了什么The What】这期节目我们聊了Ari Aster的最新电影《爱丁顿》(Eddington)——一部让人看完想骂街，但又忍不住要深度分析的作品。这位以《仲夏夜惊魂》和《遗传厄运》闻名的导演，这次把镜头对准了2020年5月疫情初期的美国小镇，用西部片的外壳包装了一个关于社交媒体如何撕裂社群的恐怖故事。Joaquin Phoenix饰演的老派警长Joe Cross和Pedro Pascal饰演的自由派市长在这个巴掌大的新墨西哥小镇展开政治对决，而真正的赢家却是那个从头到尾都面目模糊的科技巨头——他们要在这里建数据中心。我们从这部极具争议性的电影聊开去，探讨了BLM运动的社交媒体化、取消文化的游戏规则、以及阴谋论如何在小镇邻里间传播。最终发现，当所有人都在网上吵成一团的时候，真正的危机——AI和大科技公司——已经悄悄占领了现实世界。 This episode we dove into Ari Aster's latest film "Eddington"—a movie that'll make you want to throw things at the screen, but also can't stop you from obsessively analyzing every frame. The director behind "Midsommar" and "Hereditary" sets his sights on a fictional small American town during the early pandemic chaos of May 2020, wrapping a horror story about social media tearing communities apart in Western film genre. Joaquin Phoenix's old-school sheriff Joe Cross goes head-to-head with Pedro Pascal's liberal mayor in this tiny New Mexico town, while the real winner turns out to be the faceless tech giant that's been planning to build a data center there all along. We used this deeply polarizing film to unpack everything from how BLM got weaponized on social media, to the toxic rules of cancel culture, to how conspiracy theories spread like wildfire through small-town neighbor networks. The ending is both alarming and defeatist: while everyone was busy fighting online, the real crisis—AI and Big Tech—had already quietly taken over. 【时间轴 The When】 00:00 - Vibe Shift：从Covid到现在的时代精神转向 02:32 - Ari Aster这一次拍了个什么片？ 06:45 - 小镇警长和自由派精英的对决导演拉偏架了吗？ 15:45 - BLM运动的社交媒体化和"good trouble"的商品化 22:22 - 社交媒体游戏规则如何让所有人"吃相难看" 34:24 - 创伤如何成为舆论场的货币 38:55 - 小蓝的"假新闻田野调查" 45:19 - 电影结局的虚无主义倾向 48:19 - "SolidGoldMagikarp"彩蛋 52:18 - AI数据中心对美国小镇的真实影响 58:02 - 艺术家有权创作"残忍"艺术吗？ 1:10:00 - 爱丁顿里的真实社会议题 00:00 - Vibe Shift: Zeitgeist transformation from pandemic to now 02:32 - Film plot overview: Political showdown in a New Mexico town 06:45 - Did Ari Aster put his thumb on the scale in the fight between the sheriff and the mayor 15:45 - The social media-ization of BLM and commodification of "good trouble" 22:22 - How social media rules make everyone look bad 34:24 - How trauma becomes currency in the discourse 38:55 - Xiao Lan's "fake news field research" 45:19 - The film's nihilistic ending 48:19 - "SolidGoldMagikarp" Easter egg 52:18 - Real impact of AI data centers on American small towns 58:02 - Do artists have the right to create "cruel" art? 1:10:00 - Real social issues plaiguing today's America in "Eddington" 【拓展链接 The Links】 Film Colossus关于"Solid Gold Magikarp"异常标记的分析文章纽约时报关于数据中心对社区用水影响的报道 Naomi Klein《Doppelganger》 Matthew Yglesias"The Great Awokening" 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

069 | Kpop猎魔女团：现在的迪士尼公主要工作的 Kpop Demon Hunters are princesses with a dayjob

【聊了什么The What】这个夏天，我们无数次的跟人解释：Netflix的Kpop猎魔女团虽然设定听起来很扯，但真的是好看的。顶流女团的真实身份是猎魔人，而她们的竞争对手（非常工具人的）男团则是一群真正的恶魔，用歌声和粉丝量争夺人类灵魂。我们从这部作品聊开去，探讨它如何超越了新时代的迪士尼公主叙事，创造了一个有工作的、更具代入感的当代女性童年幻想的寄托：和最好的朋友住在一起，拥有穿不完的漂亮衣服，人生最大的困难是和朋友的互相不理解。在一定程度上，对小朋友可能有点太幼稚，但对疲惫的我们正中要害。同时我们也回顾了过去十年 K-Pop 的全球化，从 BTS 在疫情期间的爆红到 Blackpink 登上 Coachella 主舞台；好像体感上今年夏天真的不一样，他们说的“韩流闯美”或许真的来了？ This summer, we found ourselves repeatedly explaining to people: like, yes, Netflix’s K-pop Demon Hunters sounds ridiculous on paper, you might even feel ridiculous watching the first 20 minutes — but it’s actually really good. The setup? A top girl group is secretly made up of demon hunters, while their rivals—the boy band—are literal demons battling for human souls through their music and fandom numbers. We used this show as a jumping-off point to explore how it goes beyond the new-generation Disney princess narrative to create a more relatable modern female fantasy—one where you live with your best friends, have endless fabulous outfits, and your biggest challenge in life is misunderstandings between friends. It might feel childish to some, especially for kids, but for us—burned out adults—it hit the emotional sweet spot. We also looked back on a decade of K-pop global expansion, from BTS’s meteoric rise during the pandemic to Blackpink headlining Coachella. This summer feels different. Maybe the “Korean Wave” going global is actually happening? 【时间轴 The When】 00:39 - 奇幻首尔里用歌声封印恶魔的猎魔女团HUNTRIX。 10:28 - 立体的女性友谊和工具人男团 18:35 - K-pop产业的理想化呈现 21:26 - 从《降世神通》到现在亚裔创作者主体性的增强 27:14 - 保护我们的童年幻想和天经地义的女性友谊 42:34 - Kpop在欧美市场主流化了吗？ 00:39 - HUNTRIX: A demon-hunting girl group sealing demons with songs in a fantastical Seoul 10:28 - Deep female friendships vs. the “utility tool” boy band 18:35 - The idealized portrayal of the K-pop industry 21:26 - From Avatar: The Last Airbender to the growing agency of Asian creators 27:14 - Protecting our childhood fantasies and the naturalness of female friendship 42:34 - Has K-pop gone mainstream in Western markets? 【拓展链接 The Links】 58 “BTS之父”套现4000亿：韩娱教父的资本骗局遭政治狙击【疲惫红书 CyberRed】除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

【聊了什么】本期节目，我们与播客疲惫娇娃的主播们，聊了Ari Aster的最新电影《爱丁顿》(Eddington)——一部让人看完想骂街，但又忍不住要深度分析的作品。这位以《仲夏夜惊魂》和《遗传厄运》闻名的导演，这次把镜头对准了2020年5月疫情初期的美国小镇，用西部片的外壳包装了一个关于社交媒体如何撕裂社群的恐怖故事。Joaquin Phoenix饰演的老派警长Joe Cross和Pedro Pascal饰演的自由派市长在这个巴掌大的新墨西哥小镇展开政治对决，而真正的赢家却是那个从头到尾都面目模糊的科技巨头——他们要在这里建数据中心。我们从这部极具争议性的电影聊开去，探讨了BLM运动的社交媒体化、取消文化的游戏规则、以及阴谋论如何在小镇邻里间传播。最终发现，当所有人都在网上吵成一团的时候，真正的危机——AI和大科技公司——已经悄悄占领了现实世界。本期节目录制于2025年9月7日。【支持我们】如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去：也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:12 - Vibe Shift：从Covid到现在的时代精神转向 03:44 - Ari Aster这一次拍了个什么片？ 07:57 - 小镇警长和自由派精英的对决导演拉偏架了吗？ 16:57 - BLM运动的社交媒体化和"good trouble"的商品化 23:34 - 社交媒体游戏规则如何让所有人"吃相难看" 35:36 - 创伤如何成为舆论场的货币 40:07 - 小蓝的"假新闻田野调查" 46:31 - 电影结局的虚无主义倾向 49:31 - "SolidGoldMagikarp"彩蛋 53:30 - AI数据中心对美国小镇的真实影响 59:24 - 艺术家有权创作"残忍"艺术吗？ 1:11:12 - 爱丁顿里的真实社会议题【我们是谁】美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。我们的主播和嘉宾：小华：媒体人小杨：疲惫娇娃主播一芳：疲惫娇娃主播小蓝：新新人类主播主播和嘉宾的言论不代表其所在机构或其雇主的观点。【 What We Talked About】 This episode we dove into Ari Aster's latest film "Eddington"—a movie that'll make you want to throw things at the screen, but also can't stop you from obsessively analyzing every frame. The director behind "Midsommar" and "Hereditary" sets his sights on a fictional small American town during the early pandemic chaos of May 2020, wrapping a horror story about social media tearing communities apart in Western film genre. Joaquin Phoenix's old-school sheriff Joe Cross goes head-to-head with Pedro Pascal's liberal mayor in this tiny New Mexico town, while the real winner turns out to be the faceless tech giant that's been planning to build a data center there all along. We used this deeply polarizing film to unpack everything from how BLM got weaponized on social media, to the toxic rules of cancel culture, to how conspiracy theories spread like wildfire through small-town neighbor networks. The ending is both alarming and defeatist: while everyone was busy fighting online, the real crisis—AI and Big Tech—had already quietly taken over. 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 01:12 - Vibe Shift: Zeitgeist transformation from pandemic to now 03:44 - Film plot overview: Political showdown in a New Mexico town 07:57 - Did Ari Aster put his thumb on the scale in the fight between the sheriff and the mayor 16:57 - The social media-ization of BLM and commodification of "good trouble" 23:34 - How social media rules make everyone look bad 35:36 - How trauma becomes currency in the discourse 40:07 - Xiao Lan's "fake news field research" 46:31 - The film's nihilistic ending 49:31 - "SolidGoldMagikarp" Easter egg 52:18 - Real impact of AI data centers on American small towns 59:24 - Do artists have the right to create "cruel" art? 1:11:12 - Real social issues plaiguing today's America in "Eddington" 【Who We Are】 The American Roulette is a podcast dedicated to helping the Chinese-speaking community understand fast-changing U.S. politics.

068 | Mountainhead: 未经许可扮演上帝的硅谷精英 Mountainhead and Silicon Valley Elites' God Complex

【聊了什么The What】 HBO 新片Mountainhead是《继承之战》编剧 Jesse Armstrong 的导演初作。这一次，他把镜头从东海岸的传媒财阀转向了西海岸的科技巨头。四位科技界巨头和曾经的好友在犹他州的豪华山庄度周末，外面的世界却因一款 AI 生成工具制造的政治假新闻陷入混乱。他们坐在山顶的别墅中，讨论着权力、技术与人类未来，以及如何延长自己的生命，甚至抵御死亡，上传意识。节目中，我们谈到了科技精英的傲慢与脆弱、有效加速主义（e/acc）在硅谷的兴起、从 All In Podcast 到特朗普就职典礼的科技圈政治野心，以及为什么现实比电影还科幻，却让创作者越来越难以讲述。从HBO关于科技的剧集大火的Silicon Valley到这部同样关于讲述科技圈内部故事的Mountainhead只有短短几年过去了。而太多改变已经发生。 Mountainhead, HBO’s new film, marks the directorial debut of Succession writer Jesse Armstrong. This time, he shifts the camera from East Coast media dynasties to West Coast tech titans. The story follows four former friends and tech moguls spending a weekend at a luxury mountain estate in Utah, while the outside world descends into chaos—triggered by political disinformation generated by an AI tool they helped create. From the comfort of their hilltop villa, they debate power, technology, the future of humanity, and how to prolong their own lives—even resisting death by uploading their consciousness. In this episode, we talk about the arrogance and fragility of tech elites, the rise of Effective Accelerationism (e/acc) in Silicon Valley, the political ambitions of the tech world—from the All-In Podcast to Trump’s inauguration—and why reality has become more sci-fi than fiction, making it harder than ever for creators to tell these stories. Only a few years separate HBO’s Silicon Valley and Mountainhead, but in that short span, the world—and tech—has changed in ways no one could have scripted. 【时间轴 The When】 03:39 我们最喜欢的编剧把我们的推特故事线拍成电影了 08:15 四位主角是如何“缝合”现实中的硅谷大佬们？ 15:56 硅谷意识形态的转变：从商业逻辑到宗教信仰 32:29 科技大佬的权力渴望与“大教堂”、“创始人主权”、“Luxury Belief” 42:30 渴望权力，却又想逃避责任的Tech Bro文化 54:29 警惕权力的新外衣与我们应有的警惕 03:39 Our favorite screenwriter turns our Twitter storylines into a movie 08:15 How the four protagonists are “stitched together” from real-life Silicon Valley moguls 15:56 The ideological shift in Silicon Valley: from business logic to religious belief 32:29 Tech elites’ thirst for power: “The Cathedral,” “Founder Sovereignty,” and “Luxury Beliefs” 42:30 The Tech Bro dilemma—craving power while dodging responsibility 54:29 The new disguise of power and why we must remain vigilant 【拓展链接 The Links】小华提到的漫画：“参议院的老板们”——1889 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.
