A massive $100 billion bidding war between Paramount and Netflix for Warner Brothers is shaking up the film industry , raising alarms about monopolies economics. This potential consolidation could severely impact hollywood business by violating antitrust policy and challenging existing market regulation. This would depress wages for actors, directors, PAs, producers, and ANYONE who works in the film industry. Not only that, it will increase the subscription prices of these services!!!I had the opportunity to sit down with Senator Elizabeth Warren to talk about these monopolies, how it will impact the people working in film, and how this could have rippling effects in other industries trying to do more corporate consolidation#elizabethwarren #entertainmentindustry #democrats #netflix #warnerbros

The viral British Vogue article “Is It Embarrassing To Have a Boyfriend?” has taken over TikTok and started a huge debate about modern relationships, gender roles, and why Gen Z suddenly feels weird about being in a public relationship. In this video, I break down why women feel this way, the epidemic of loneliness, and what it says about dating culture in 2025.What's even more interesting to me is how this discourse has evolved on the internet. From TikTok commentary to feminist think pieces, this conversation has sparked a wide debate on female independence, relationship advice, what it means to be a single girl, and why dating is so difficult for Gen Z.So… is having a boyfriend actually embarrassing now, or is this just another moment in online discourse?0:00 - Intro2:28 - Thank You xx4:05 - Chante Joseph's British Vogue Article8:56 - Single vs Married 12:48 - Why are women tired of men?17:23 - My theories on female dissatisfaction20:17 - Male vs Female Friendships23:38 - The Affordability Crisis24:40 - Male vs Female Cultural Divide28:45 - I don't think it's embarassing...32:30 - Critiques#videoessay #britishvogue #singlegirl

Orville Peck is living proof that it takes 10 years to be an Overnight Success

From being a ballet dancer in South Africa, an actor in London, and a touring artist in a punk band for nearly 15 years– there is NO ONE with a journey quite like his. 

He exemplifies that the first step of your career does not need to look like the last step, and no matter where you are, or how long you’ve been doing something. You can ALWAYS make a creative pivot.

Not only that, he doesn’t sit inside the box or conform to the “standards” of the industry. How many other gay country singers wearing a fringe mask can you name? But it was exactly that which made him stand out.

So I wanted to sit down with him to learn more about his journey and talk all things his new EP “Appolossa”

A great artist to me is about so much more than just the music.It's the world building, the visuals, and artistry that truly make someone iconic.

Artists like Lana Del Rey, David Bowie, or Lady Gaga have developed entire artistic personas. Even outside of pop, we have artists like Tyler the Creator have an entire unique character they create for each album.

But trying to create an entire world when you're still a new artist can be SUCH a challenge when you haven't had years worth of albums, music videos, or press like magazine covers to build that visual identity.

So I wanted to sit down with a new artist who I thought was doing that BRILLIANTLY--  ⁨@remylovesu⁩  to show how to bring that piece of worldbuilding and artistic persona to life

What makes a great artist? To me its about so much more than just music. It's the ethos, the visuals, the writing, worldbuilding, and how they tap into culture.Those things seem so much easier to do when you have a big record label, funding for your music videos, or an entire team around you-- but how does a New Artist do those things?Well we sat down with @nataliejane to talk about exactly that! Discussing her journey as a homegrown artist on the internet to the release of her debut album, "The World I didn't Want" which just came out last week! 0:00 - Intro2:27 - Artistic Fantasy vs Reality4:45 - Intrusive Thoughts8:23 - The World I Didn't Want14:00 - Fallin'17:39 - How U Been?20:30 - Girls Will Be Girls26:03 - AVA27:30 - Visuals37:30 - Butterflies38:45 - Anyone but Myself

It seems like the internet has had a LOT to say about Taylor Swift this past week...From the release of her album Life of a Showgirl, the diss track about Charli XCX, and releasing 28 vinyl variants in the first 2 days...I made a Tiktok about this, and lost 1,000 followers in a day. It was so crazy that it really got me thinking about this downfall of honest music journalism, and how stan culture has created such an argumentative environment where no one wants to here any sort of disagreement. Going as far as to be mean and try to "punish" someone for simply expressing an opinion different from their own#taylorswift #charlixcx #albumreview

Why does everything feel like ragebait now?

From the Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle Ad Campaign, crazy tiktok foods, debate shows, toxic fandoms, and ragebait marketing.

EVERYTHING feels like extremism, and we have completely lost the idea of nuance. To like some things, dislike some things, and still be a fan.

Now it feels like everything is a team sport-- where you have to endlessly defend your team. Instead of actually trying to have a conversation and learn from one another
