Hi! This week we start with some pop culture popcorn: Selena Gomez has released her new documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me on Apple TV. Jas shares her thoughts and recommends this review by Adrian Horton for The Guardian. Next, news came out that Rihanna has invited Johnny Depp to be a part of the new Savage X Fenty show. We ask why Rihanna would do this to the brand and what it says after the infamous Johnny Depp x Amber Hear trial.18-year-old Heartstopper actor, Kit Connor has been forced to come out as bisexual after so-called fans accused him of queerbating. We share our thoughts on this toxic fandom trend and writer Patrick Lenton reads from his piece “Whether it's Kit Connor or Harry Styles, forcing a celebrity to come out is not progress” for The Guardian. Drake and 21 Savage have released a joint album with one song gaslighting Megan Thee Stallion after being shot by Tory Lanez in 2020. We discuss Drake's 'feminist' lyrics while he simultaneously tears down a Black woman.Next, in an era of aesthetics and endless ‘core' subcultures, are trends dead? There have been talks on the Internet about not being able to pinpoint 2022's aesthetic and pointing to the rise of microtrends as a major reason why it feels like we're in a ‘trend-less' era. We have an open conversation on the media's part to play in this, our own opinions on the matter and hear from two authors. Beccy Hill reads out her piece, 'Good and bad taste no longer exists—here's why' for Stylist UK and Crystal Andrews reads from 'NPCs & Main Characters: We're Straight Up Dehumanising Ourselves Online Now' for her publication, Zee Feed. In recommendation land, Jas loved Enola Holmes 2 on Netflix while Maggie read Dolly Alderton's advice book, Dear Dolly, On Love, Life, And Friendship. See ya next week! xo Hosted on Acast.

One of the most interesting seasons of ‘The Bachelorette' has just wrapped up. After a sustained drop in ratings, the show's producers announced a big shift in the core mechanics of the show - Brooke Blurton was announced as this year's Bachelorette making her both the first Indigenous and queer woman in the role, and for the first time, contestants would be a mix of men and women. So did it work in injecting some new energy into what has become a pretty predictable and tired format? And are there lessons for the rest of Australia's reality TV ecosystem, which has basically been unchanged for the past decade? Joining The Culture this week is Patrick Lenton, the deputy arts editor at The Conversation and the co-author of ‘The Bachelorette' recap newsletter ‘All the heterosexual nonsense I was forced to endure'. He helps us review this season of ‘The Bachelorette', and discuss the future of reality TV in Australia.   Guest: Patrick Lenton, writer and Arts and Culture Deputy Editor at The Conversation.

Another political satire podcast recorded the day BEFORE the Scotland vote and released the day AFTER it, everyone has something ill-informed to say about Australia's involvement in Iraq, and The Australian acknowledges climate change in the strangest way we've heard yet.  Heads up: Bryce was only present in ghost form during this recording and was not able to tell James his mic was turned wayyy down in comparison to Nick and Patrick. He's done some editing magic to fix this up, so everything is still audable, even if James sounds like he's in the next room. Recorded at 2SER.
