Phoebe’s Reality Tv Club: Love in the Flesh (Episode 1)

10k_fleshlove_V01.mp3

Since Hussein promised Phoebe she didn't have to watch cartoons anymore, and he is an honourable man who sticks to his promises,  we're instead watching Reality TV. We watch the first episode of Love In The Flesh, a show in which photogenic but extremely online young people who have, supposedly, only dated on the internet, meet each other in real life on a tropical Island. The show marries the aesthetics of Love Island with the slight unhinged-ness of Catfish, to convey what happens when you're extremely online, but in a specific, commercialised way, and also how one might navigate being online differently if they're also extremely attractive.--------You can watch Love In The Flesh on BBC Iplayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m0015pzv/love-in-the-flesh
