Culture Pigs

Is the way in which we understand, deal with and consider celebrities changing? Yes and no, according to this week’s ep and it’s not entirely to do with the slew of chicken-based shows that are out at the minute, but they’re definitely involved. 

Join the pigs as they discuss the Fantastic 4 press tour and what chat show hosts sitting on the right or left means as well as a slew of Rory’s personal experiences with A-listers on the press junket run.

In All’s Well That Ends Well Shakespeare once wrote that “no legacy is so rich as honesty” and that’s a lesson that some of the people covered in this week’s show might have done well to heed. Because let’s face it, legacy is a huge part of celebrity culture nowadays - building it, monetising it and just generally how not to leave a turd blocked toilet in your wake.

Our very first episode sees Kate and Rory gather around the trough to deconstruct the biggest (pop)culture stories of the week. From Oasis, to Taylor (both Swift and Liz) and why all wasn’t well and didn’t end well for Carrie Bradshaw’s Sex and The City multiverse. Because let's face it, when it comes to the writing on And Just Like That, Shakespeare it was not.
