1950s Aesthetic/Role Playing

Listen Later

Pulp’s “This is Hardcore”, Monarchy’s “Disintegration”, & Madonna’s “Material Girl”. This episode is all about 1950’s aesthetic and playing roles—two themes that go surprisingly hand in hand! We talk about the parallels between pornography and life; a uniquely beautiful representation of the bored housewife with wild sexual fantasies trope; and finally how not to woo a material girl!
