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!

April 07, 2023The Bride
Bat for Lashes’ The Bride. We have been excited to do this episode since the beginning! This series of videos is one of our most beloved. We cover the three music videos and one live performance from Bat For Lashes’ album The Bride, which tells the story of a bride whose fiancé dies on the way to the wedding (we know, heartbreaking!). We discuss the lie of fairy tale endings and finding yourself through tragedy and grief, but mostly we gush over the beauty of these music videos. We deep dive into the imagery and song lyrics, and get a little emotional along the way. Come have a good cry with us!
