Manika is back with film and TV reporter Kimberly (https://www.tiktok.com/@kimberly_tsitsi) for a deep dive into doppelgÀngers, identity, and the monsters we create to survive late capitalism.
They unpack how shows like Severance and films like Mickey 17 and Sinners explore fractured selves, work-life splits, and the fear of losing yourself in a system that demands constant performance. Manika and Kimberly discuss Monster Theory and how doppelgÀngers in media reflect our anxieties around authenticity, capitalism, and the curated online personas we build to survive.
They also dig into the controversy around Shannon Sharpe, the allegations against him, and how public figures navigate accountability and power. The conversation expands into Star Wars, John Boyegaâs honest reflections on racism in fandom spaces, and why Black actors often face backlash in large franchises, forcing us to question who truly feels entitled to stories in these universes.
The episode also touches on the power of actor-director collaborations, how Michael B. Jordanâs performance in Sinners showcases his range, and why Ryan Cooglerâs nuanced approach to the doppelgĂ€nger trope sets Sinners apart. Manika and Kimberly explore how Sinners uses vampires and cultural appropriation to interrogate legacy, identity, and community, breaking down the filmâs final act and what it says about immortality versus legacy.
DoppelgĂ€ngers, vampires, and fractured selvesâthis is your guide to the monsters of modern media, and what they reveal about who we really are.
