de Black Sheep

Starting the new year strong with a round of applause for the Gen Z.  Against all the mainstream narrative of “the phone-dependent lazy people”, we discuss how our generation is actually breaking the status quo and redefining the paradigm of our lives. Because, as proper members of this generation ourselves, we like to go against everything and anyone that is mainstream. From social media and politics to mental health and astrology (of course), tune in for our stream of consciousness in Gen Z style.

Today’s episode is dedicated to the new manifesto of the horny for the last quarter of 2023. 
It’s a movie written, and directed by Emerald Fennell that dive steep into the dynamics of British aristocracy through the eyes of Oliver, a social climber played by Barry Keoghan. 
Other honourable mentions are the performances by Jacob Elordi, Rosemond Pike, and Allison Oliver, that contributed to create an electric atmosphere. There were a lot of moments that were pleasing to watch, some that didn’t convince us completely but surely three of them shocked the shit out of us. Overall, it’s safe to say this is a solid recommendation. Enjoy the episode.

Movie: Saltburn - Emerald Fennell (2023)

As every December since 2016, Spotify released its infamous “Spotify Wrapped”, which  takes over all of our instagram feeds, showing us what artists, songs and podcasts people listened to through the past year. Some are proud of their Spotify Wrapped, some are - rightfully - embarrassed. In this episode, let us guide you through a short history of the Spotify Wrapped, the top 10 artists of this year, and a very embarrassing recap of Aflojack's own Spotify Wrapped.

Whether it is for your need to belong, for the thrill of breaking the rules, or just for the sake of curiosity, it's possible that your most unconventional decision was made after receiving some pressure from your peers. In this episode, we discuss the typical examples of positive and negative peer pressure that we generally experience in the early stages of life.

As humor is our go-to when it comes to coping mechanisms, today we delve into the evolution of comedy. Focusing on how the internet impacted humor from the early 2000s to the present day, we explore how social media, memes, and shifting internet culture have redefined comedic preferences - making our lives way better, we dare to say. From the traditional sitcoms to contemporary streaming content, in this episode we unpack the substantial shift of comedy within movies and television series. One remark: stop the background laughter.

cringe, cringe, cringe...a secondhand embarrassment mixed with a touch of "why did they do that?", and a final note of "i can't watch". In Aflojack's second blunt sesh, we delve into the topic of "cringe". From mattress advertisings to old social media posts, the potential for cringe is everywhere. 
The main lessons learned from this conversation are twofold: cringe is necessary to keep us humble, but excessive cringe prevents us from improving, becoming a cage of shame. In short, to be happy we need to overcome being cringe.

This episode marks the start of our new monthly series “a Sheep in Wolf’s clothing”, for which every month we will get out of our comfort zone and then discuss our experiences. Our challenge this month: going out for dinner by ourselves. 
Whether or  not we were successful in this experience, we certainly learned something from it.

This album needs no introduction and we are happy to celebrate the newest and ethically correct version of the project. This record has been a crucial part of our upbringing and in this episode we discuss what are your thoughts on the freshly recorded old tracks as well as the vault ones (+ some swiftie-mania then and there )
