Shameless

THURSDAY QUICK AND DIRTY:

Why Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette was binned, Lindy West's husband emails Slate, and then, Chappell Roan is in the headlines… again. Olivia Rodrigo was profiled by British Vogue about her upcoming lovey album, and we (Zara) want to talk about it. To conclude: The eight-hour-long footage of Justin Timberlake's 2024 arrest.

MONDAY ANALYSIS: 

We watched the new Louis Theroux documentary, Inside The Manosphere, and we have thoughts. Is Louis Theroux platforming people who shouldn’t be platformed – or is he bringing much-needed attention to a dangerous problem? Should we be exposing these manosphere grifters to the light?

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS:

What… happened with the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party lighting because apparently a bunch of the celebrities there thought the pics flopped??? And then, the Wall St bros were profiled in Interview Magazine; people hated it, so let’s talk about it. To finish, an Ethan Hawke AYINOSI.

This week, Zara recommended reading The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. Mich recommended reading ‘The Horseshoe Theory of Polyamory’ in The Atlantic.

MONDAY ANALYSIS: 

Writer Lindy West has let us into the world of her modern marriage. It made us wonder…do we all know far too much about each other’s relationships? And knowing how cruel the internet can be, why do so many writers continue to mine their personal lives for their work?

Huge thanks to Myer for making today’s episode of Shameless possible – don’t forget about International Fragrance Day on Saturday, March 21.
