Ever heard of the Disney theme park for adults called âPleasure Islandâ? No? Well now you have - sorry! Disney has always been understood as a company for children. But Pleasure Island closed in 2003, and people are having babies later and later (if ever at all), and so now the Disney theme parks have become a veritable playground for a whole new group of fans: grown ups. In this episode, Hannah and Maia talk about Disney adults - their malignment by the general public, their strange religiosity, and their unabashed love of a conglomerate that routinely tramples on the rights of its workers. But, after all, Disney was designed to be a a nostalgic teet from which lost adult souls may suck. So why is it that when adults like Disney, we hate them for it? Tangents include: Hannahâs dm correspondence with Deux Moi, and Maiaâs millennial rights advocacy.

âGrandma, would you tell us that old adage again?â âYes dears. A long time ago, your ancestors used to say: if all the computers in the world shut down, itâs because the furries logged off for a day.â In this season 6 premiere, Hannah and Maia chat about the most maligned subculture on the internet: furries - a group of people with an above-average interest in anthropomorphic creatures, who everyone seems to despise. Thanks to some unflattering depictions in popular media like CSI and the Tyra Show, the world believes furries to be a group of maladjusted sexual deviants. But have furries gotten a bad rap? Is it really sexual deviancy, or a post-humanist movement that has been way ahead of us this whole time? We may very well be f*cking with the wrong group of people (after all, they created their own ISP before the White House did). Tangents include: the emotional power of Aquamarine, Tyra teaching Hannah about Islamophobia, and the Kyle Jenner-ification of My Little Pony.

"She knows what she's doing". In this special release of a 2023 bonus episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the elusive "e-Girl" and how, beyond the blushed nose, winged liner, choker, and multi-coloured hair - we have no clue what the e-Girl is all about. We do know one thing though - her online presence is a precarious one. From the ill-defined youth aesthetic, to Belle Delphine's bathwater, it seems the e-Girl exists online as a fantasy object for men, regardless of her age. And after the tragic murder of Bianca Devins in 2019, we ask the perennial question of whether women truly have "sexual agency" if their role is still that of subject rather than viewer. Is the e-Girl an exciting aesthetic to define a generation, or a cautionary tale about women's existence on the internet?
This episode is a special preview for season 6: internet subcultures. Stay tuned for more!

Once upon a time, there was a place you could go on the internet to buy all the strangest fruits that fashionâs best and brightest had to offer. Now, youâre more likely to hit it when you decide to become the billionth person in the world to own a pair of sambas. That place is SSENSE - the luxury e-commerce mega retailer based out of Montreal, which houses every fashion brand from Canada Goose to Issey Miyake, and employs just about the entire 20-something anglo population of Montreal. SSENSE has become an undeniable powerhouse in the world of luxury e-commerce, carving a name for itself with an unorthodox business model that fuses fashion and technology. But can a company which has been called âthe Amazon of high fashionâ really be the bastion of the arts that it proclaims to be? In this extra special Patreon bonus episode, Maia and Hannah, with the help of a series of interviews from former SSENSE employees and small business owners, discuss SSENSEâS impact on fashion as an art form. As SSENSE gobbles up all the fish in the e-commerce pond, is it actually supporting emerging artists, or snuffing them out?

When âselfieâ was deemed the word of the year in 2013, people freaked it. How had society become so vapid? Were we all narcissists? Did this mean young people would spend all the precious time they COULD be building a Forbes empire⊠taking pictures of themselves? But did selfies really make Narcissuses of us all, or have human beings always been fascinated by their own self-image? The selfie as we know it today may have been invented by a clumsy Australian man. But from its origins in the days of Renaissance courtships, to 19th century âcartes-de-visiteâ, to the self-portraits of Cindy Sherman, it may be that the selfie has been with us all along. Moreover, can selfies be⊠art? In this bonus episode, Hannah and Maia breakdown the history, and question its future. Tangents include: Maia and Hannah moving countries, the importance of the word âgulletâ, and why weâre so afraid of Victorian ghosts.

If youâve ever vacantly nodded along while someone rants to you about NFTs, then this finale episode is for you. Welcome to Blockchain for Bimbos. From a genuine effort to put agency over the sale of their work back into the hands of artists was born a Frankensteinâs monster: the NFT. Itâs the internet version of owning a star⊠if you could resell that star for millions of dollars to a crypto millionaire. Even stranger, the successful marriage of NFTs and legacy art institutions made strange bed fellows out of affluent old art collectors and dweeby tech bros. And while the era of 2021-2022 was a gold rush for those who could wrap their heads around this intentionally confounding technology, it also exposed something we always knew about the world of art, but never wanted to admitâŠ

Considering every broad and her mother owns a pair of ballet flats these days, itâs safe to say ballet has successfully re-infiltrated popular culture. But that might not be a good thing. In this episode, Hannah and Maia, along with movement artist Susanna Haight, trace the evolution of dance in the Western zeitgeist - from the days of George Balanchine, to the introduction of camera phones into the training space. If weâre living in a time of girlhood, and girlhood is all about ballet, and ballet is all about hyper femininity, and femininity is all about self-regulation, and self-regulation is the prevailing force of our social media surveillance society⊠then we may just be trapped in a dance panopticon. But what does this mean for dancers? Tangents include: Maia being hit on by her pre-recorded, virtual Peloton instructor.

If you're enjoying the Parker Posey-aissance, then Party Girl is the film for you. This little freak of a movie, about a Manhattan club-goer who experiences an existential crisis after reading the Myth of Sisyphus (yes, that's the plot) was, believe it or not, the first feature film to premiere both in theatres and online. And thus it occupies a very odd space in popular culture. Predicting many things to come: the streaming era, Brat, downtown edgelords. And remaining an artifact of a time where weirdo, shoestring budget flicks still had an audience. In this episode, Hannah and Maia chat about the history of Party Girl and what it says about our world today. Tangents include: Trump getting shot, Hannah becoming Shakespeare, and the tyranny of niche meme accounts that come for literally everyone⊠even those who read Camus and drink black coffee.

Hamilton: the musical that launched a thousand lip-biting memes. Almost a decade ago, Lin Manuel Mirandaâs race-bending rap-sical took broadway by storm and rose to unprecedented levels of success, amassing a dedicated, almost fanatical global fanbase. Yet with ticket prices starting at $400 a pop, the vast majority of these fans had never actually seen the show. Even stranger, in 2016 you could throw a rock and hit about three Hamilton fans, but today it seems like a title no one wants to claim. In this episode, Hannah, Maia, and their friend and long-time collaborator Sara Harvey, go mask-off to discuss Hamilton as it relates to their love of theatre. Is Hamilton a transgressive emulation or veneration of the founding fathers? How much of the showâs backlash is about its real historical flaws, and how much is a symptom of our irony-poisoning? And how much does theatre lose when itâs spliced up and broadcasted on the internet? Tangents include: the âboys and girls canât share a room lawâ, Hannah playing the lottery, and a never-before-seen look at the inception of The Crucible: The Musical.

When The Beatles came out with Sergeant Pepperâs Lonely Hearts Club Band, it seemed like music had changed forever. Out with the days of 78s and random singles compiled into LPs. Now the act of listening to music was an art in itself! Until it wasnât. In this episode, Hannah and Maia look past their musical differences to take you on a journey through music history as it collides with technology. As major innovations in music - disco, punk, MTV, pirating, the predetermination of music streaming - slowly erode the art of the concept album, itâs hard not to wonder what, if anything, has been lost. Technology pushes music forward, but can music push back? Tangents include: hating on Shoppers Drug Mart; The Beatles originating the ârodent boyfriendâ trend; and Maia putting a nickel into the âDonât Talk About Youtubeâ jar.

Itâs hard to tell what killed photography⊠whether it was the advent of the camera phone, the âpocket galleryâ that is social media, or the thousands of men taking softcore images of hot women in lingerie and calling it art. These horsemen of the photography apocalypse were all put to trial when Emily Ratajkowski went up against acclaimed artist and professional troll, Richard Prince, after he featured one of her Instagram photos in an art exhibition in New York. An image she went on to purchase for $80,000. While Princeâs âInstagram Paintingsâ series seems at best lazy and at worst sleazy, it raises fascinating questions about the state of photography as an art form. Photography has always had problems with authorship, but social media has thrown that into crisis. Once a photograph reaches the internet, is it yours any longer? Is it even a photograph at all? Hannah and Maia are joined by photographer and friend Stefan Johnson to discuss all this and more in this episode, embarking on tangents such as: what comprises a âBrat summerâ, and Maia being too optimistic about Love Island UK.

Wattpad: a literary oasis of the Web 2.0, or a cash cow monopolizing on the infernal musings of a thousand Club Chalamets? In this episode, Hannah and Maia are joined by Youtube superstar Princess Weekes, to ponder the eponymous literary platform; from its gaming origins, to its heyday as a fertile space for burgeoning writers, to what it is now which is⊠bizarre. Is Wattpad f-cking up our relationship to literature, or should we just be happy that weâre literate at all? How do we critique an institution like Wattpad without punching down at its readers? And how much has the internet affected the kinds of books that are sold to us? These questions and more answered here. Tangents include: Hannah and Maia buying each other âsad broadâ snacks, and an extra special shoutout to Regina, Saskatchewan.

Oscar Wilde once said, âAll bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. To be natural is to be obvious, and to be obvious is to be inartistic.â But if that's the case, how do we explain Rupi Kaur? Ever since she came on the scene a decade ago, Rupi has seen equal measures of praise and scrutiny. And, youth and gender considered, itâs hard not to feel that the backlash to her work is yet another instance of people hating anything thatâs popular. However, in this episode, Hannah and Maia are joined by special guest, poet Phoebe VanDusen, to peer behind the veil of Rupi's persona and ask some pressing questions. What exactly irks people about her work? Does all art need to be democratized? What is the line between anti-elitism and anti-intellectualism? And perhaps the most puzzling of all: is poetry something anyone can do? Tangent includes: Maiaâs shameless love of Nickelback.

Nobody wants to be a stick waving old man, but what happens when itâs that stick waving old man whoâs telling young people to loosen up? After a series of studies from 2021 reported that teenagers are having less sex than the generations before them, a strange phenomenon has unfolded on the internet. Younger people are being morally conservative, older people are responding by calling younger people âpuriteensâ (puritanical teens), and then other older people are calling those older people âstick waving old menâ. In this Patreon bonus episode, Hannah and Maia wade through the muddy waters of this discourse, and attempt to find nuance in what has become a full on panic from all sides. What the hell happened here? Tangents include: Hannah travelling 5 hours to see DJ James Kennedy in Ottawa, and Maia telling everyone in middle school she had an âorgasmâ at the New Moon premiere.

Full episode available on Patreon: Kristen and Bethany Baird make Christian life advice content on Youtube for their modest audience of 100k followers. But when Cody Ko reacted to one of their videos on his channel, spawning an entire industry of Girl Defined commentary, they became overnight sensations⊠for all the wrong reasons. Girl Defined certainly spreads harmful fundamentalist views to impressionable young women but, in this bonus episode, Hannah and Maia question whether Kristen and Bethany are always deserving of vitriol. For women coming into their sexualities alongside their audience, itâs important to consider if their advice is hypocritical, or just confused. Tangents include: Nara Smith and the TikTok trad wives, the âWho said I canât wear my purity era with my converseâ era of Disney, and the political theatre of Republican Christianity and its weaponization of Sydney Sweeneyâs boobs. Oh - and MANY â69â jokes.

If you thought womenâs beauty standards were unrealistic before, just wait until you find out about AI porn. Not only do these girlies have cartoonish curves, the faces of young teens, and impossibly long hair⊠they also have eight fingers on each hand! In this finale episode, Hannah and Maia discuss AI porn, the ways it infringes on bodily autonomy, and its commitment to rendering womenâs oldest profession obsolete. Youâd think weâd have flying cars by this point, but instead weâre jerking off to the face of Minnie Mouse algorithmically stitched onto Lana Rhoades. Perhaps humanity is more simple that we thought. Tangents include: Maiaâs âreply guyâ voice, r/doppelbangher, and Hannah fumbling about 15 different analogies.

âŠWeâre about to go off. Since what feels like the beginning of time (the 60s) dating companies have promised us that our soulmates are out there waiting for us, and they know just who it is. But in this current late stage hellscape, itâs safe to say these companies arenât as altruistic as they seem. Yes, in this episode, Hannah and Maia talk about everyoneâs least favourite drug: dating apps. It comes down to one question: if dating apps could really find us our soulmate, why is it that weâre less horny, and less committal than ever before? Rather than being happily partnered, its appears weâve all become rizzless, attention deficit, scaredy-cat sex nerds. Are we in crisis? Tangents include: Vanessa Hudgens' monopoly on the âDisney R&Bâ market, the âbottle nightâ guy, and Hannah putting yet another nickel in the Donât Talk About Taylor Swift jar.

What do Uber and OnlyFans have in common? Did camgirilng really originate from a 24 hour live stream of a Trojan coffee pot? And fellas, is it cheating to have an OnlyFans subscription AND a wife? These burning questions (and more) will be answered in this episode, where Hannah and Maia discuss the multivalent world of OnlyFans and the ways it transformed sex work, for better or for worse. It may have been a saving grace for out-of-work people during the pandemic, but is OF a hero of the gig economy, or an agent of it? Tangents include: Twitchâs great grandfather, Justin.tv; the high culture-ification of fast food; and Maia using the term â-ificationâ till she gets womanâd right off the internet.

If youâve ever wondered why there are so many annoying people on Twitter, youâve got Tumblr to thank for that. Tumblr, the microblogging site that reigned supreme in the 2010s, was like Facebookâs cool cousin who has blue hair and goes to art school. It was the cradle of identity formation for lonely teens and adults, and it was also a happy home to lots and lots of porn. Tumblrâs NSFW content made it a search-engine-friendly way to consume porn without your mom finding out. But its alternative edge made it an easy victim to much more powerful companies - which is why, in this episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the Tumblr porn ban and its consequences on society. Tangents including but not limited to: the âfree nipples for saleâ movement, Hannahâs Addison Rae addiction, and Maiaâs misanthropic middle school blog: âWho the Poo Caresâ.

Why is it that whenever someone âthinks of the childrenâ, a sex worker is harmed in the process? In this episode, Hannah and Maia tell the story of Backpage - the classifieds website that came crashing down when instances of child sex trafficking was discovered in its seedy underbelly. But while the crusade against the site and its free-wheeling founders seemed well intentioned, the act that was used to take them down (FOSTA-SESTA) has had massive consequences for the freedom of the web, and most importantly, for sex workers. You can never be too altruistic if John McCain is in your corner. Listen for targets such as: TimothĂ©e Chalametâs galaxy print leggings and Hannah being a wittle baby, and Taken (2008)'s continued gorilla grip on our culture.
