What a Week

Taylor Davis

Pop culture is always trying it. Something is always happening in our fast paced, never stopping news cycle. Once a week, I take something that stressed me out and break it down with a friend. From media's widespread layoffs to Black History Month being ruined by blackface, this is an ode to the pop culture that's exhausting and draining us all.

    Bye Bye Birdie: The Cultural Impact of Twitter (Part 1)

    I'm gonna smack the next person to ask, "what app are we going to when Twitter is done?" Why? Because if you're looking to replicate the experience, there's no where else (that exists at this moment) that can give it to you. I break down what makes Twitter its own little island in the United States of Social Media.  I mentioned a podcast about the downfall and attempted revival of Black Planet that you can listen to here.

    TV Take: Has the Target Demo graphic for 'Love Is Blind' Outgrown The Emotional Maturity of Its Contestants?/A History of Dating on Reality TV

    This isn't really about Love Is Blind. Well, it is a little, so skip the first 5 minutes if you haven't seen the reunion. Instead, I make the case that the audiences of dating reality tv shows have reached an inflection point. A lot of us are older than the youngest contests on some of these shows and I think it drastically changes our experiences watching them try to find love on TV. I take a look (with some rambling) at the history of dating on TV, how it's shaped Millennials' perspectives of what dating looks like, and reality TV dating shows are going to struggle to connect with their aging audiences if they keep casting people under the age of 28. Harsh Reality: The podcast about "There's Something About Miriam", the most offensive and outrageous show in Dating Reality TV history.

    Blue Tick (Tick, Boom!): The Impending Doom of Elon Musk's New Blue Tick Verification Plan, Explained (Part 2)

    The unintended consequence of buying a social media platform with ruthless users is that when you make choices that don't make sense, they will be the first people to let you know.

    Blue Tick (Tick, Boom!): The Impending Doom of Elon Musk's New Blue Tick Verification Plan, Explained (Part 1)

    The Blue tick system on Twitter is about to implode. In part one (I know I said I was taking break at the end...and just ended it), I talk about how El*n Mu*k doesn't really understand the company he just bought for $44 Billion or the people who use it and how we shouldn't have to pay for his horrible decision because he's broke!  Also, wow...did I have to use every form of punctuation in this episode title?

    TV Take: Love Is Blind, Episode 1 (Netflix)

    Every single thought I had watching the Love is Blind season 3 premiere. Too long, don't wanna listen? Being a Ballerina isn't a personality trait, what would you share about your body while dating in the pods, going on this show before moving for grad school is chaos and someone needs to disable Andrew's spotfiy account because the man has access to too many podcasts.

    A Debrief: Drake's Debauchery, Explained

    I don't know if he said “This b—h lie ’bout getting shots, but she still a stallion"  or “This b—h lie ’bout getting shot, but she still a stallion". Either way, I don't like it, Drake is a menace and Drake's PR team has had a day.

    TV Take: Inside Man, Episode 2 (Netflix)

    Much like the plot of this show, I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say.  This show is painful to watch. Why would Ceaser Flickman of the Hunger Games do this to his IMDB?

  8. 11/04/2022

    TV Take: Inside Man, Episode 1 (Netflix)

    This show makes zero sense. I need to get over it or stop watching it. But I can't do either of those things.
