Welcome back, fellow kids.
We start off with one of our favourite celebrity stories of the year: Bennifer is back! JLo and Ben Affleck are peak Leo season as they go Instagram official. We also chat about Lil Nas X’ new single and Shawn Mendes' odd (but hilarious) TikTok.
Between floods around the world and billionaires heading to space, it’s been a rough old week in climate change news. We share our tips for dealing with climate anxiety and recommend some useful Instagram accounts. We reference this article by Sim Kern for Salon titled No, Billionaires Won’t “Escape” To Space While The World Burns.
Next up we chat about the awful anti-lockdown protests that Australian cities saw over the weekend. One infamous internet “star” was spotted rallying the crowds. We discuss Australia’s obsession with platforming harmful people and the lone wolf narrative.
Jas recommends comedy/thriller I Care A Lot while Maggie recommends the Netflix series Atypical. Maggie reads from this Time article Atypical Fell Short as Both Autistic Representation and Entertainment. At Least It Was Eclipsed During Its Own Time by Sarah Kurchak.
Katie Zhou created our fab new cover art and India Raine is our wonderful producer and composer of our jingle. Email us at cultureclubmail@gmail.com, find us on Instagram @cultureclubpod, or on our personal accounts @jasmineeskye and @yemagz.
Chat to you next week, angels.
Jas and Mags xoxo
