In this week’s episode, we review the highly-anticipated Bama Rush documentary. We first cover the premise of the documentary, why it was made, and what audiences were led to believe it would explore vs. what the documentary *actually* explored. We also dive into The Machine as well as the misogyny, sexual assault, and history of racism at the Univeristy of Alabama that the documentary failed to cover. And of course, we share all of our honest opinions.

In this week’s episode, we dive into a controversy sweeping fashion TikTok that has the industry up in arms over consumers’ entitlement over being able to purchase anything they want at an affordable price. It all kicked off when NYC-based fashion designer Rachel Ellenbogen went viral on TikTok this week after sharing a beaded embroidery design she turned into a small purse. According to Rachel’s video, she spent between 15-17 hours designing and creating the purse. She listed it for sale at $990 USD based on the price of materials and her labour involved. Despite receiving a lot of love for her creation, her comment section has also been flooded with complaints about the “high” price of the purse, with some calling it an “injustice” to charge that much money for a purse amid a cost of living crisis. Others claim they could buy a similar style of purse from fast fashion retailers for much less. This has sparked intense debate over TikTok's fast fashion culture, consumer entitlement, and how little we really understand about art.

In this week's episode, we dive into CarynAI, the first "AI chatbot girlfriend" inspired by a content creator, Caryn Marjorie. We first give background on Caryn Marjorie and the tech company, Forever Voices, that helped bring her AI to life. We then dive into how CarynAI works and explore the ethical implications of AI chatbots based on real-life influencers. We also give our opinions on why people would be interested in building a relationship with AI influencers and how this might impact the parasocial relationships we have with creators moving forward.

In this week’s episode, we’re bringing you a massive deep dive into the career and controversies of James Charles. This episode was inspired by the YouTuber’s announcement this week about the launch of his own beauty brand, Painted. This announcement garnered little buzz in the digital world (it actually took me 9 full hours to discover he even made this announcement because so few people were talking about it) and has left MANY to wonder– who will buy James Charles’ makeup brand?

In this week’s episode, we’re breaking down the rise and fall of FaZe Clan, one of the world’s most famous esports and gaming lifestyle creator collectives. We first dive into FaZe as a company — who they are, what they do, and their financial history — before getting into the horrible situation they’ve found themselves in now. Because after making history as the first esports team on the Nasdaq, six months later their share price plummeted below $1 and their brand is at risk of losing it all.

In this week’s episode, we explore how TikTok has “ruined” New York Fashion Week a second time due to the platform’s obsession with exposing people, brands, and events. We look at several viral videos from creators who shared their negative experiences at the event and dive into other examples of times when TikTok's culture of over-sharing has led to a real-life impact, for better or for worse.

In this week's episode, we explore the concept of influence in the TikTok era. We first cover the news that Sephora is dropping Addison Rae’s ITEM Beauty and Hyram Yarbro’s Selfless by Hyram from its shelves, before diving into several other examples that support our theory that TikTok creators are struggling to maintain relevancy and turn their followers into paying customers. We then look at some exceptions to this trend, including Alix Earle and Mikayla Nogueira, before finishing with our theories as to why TikTok fame is so different from YouTube or Instagram fame.
