Here we are! The penultimate episode of Dispatches From the Kardashian simulacrum. MJ and Marie take us on a tour of cultural cohorts and whether or not we’re ever truly able to understand generations outside of our own.

Did we ever even share them in the first place?In an episode filled with storage units, archives and legacy the Kardashian sisters are finally on the subject they’ve been teasing all season. The body. We’re sensing the sisters have an eagerness to blame society, and an unwillingness to explore the fact that, the Kardashian's are society.  Hosted on Acast.

With singing lessons and auto tune in full swing, whether you ‘hate listen or love listen’ you won’t be able to switch off from the micro scandals, fake tears and reality checks of this weeks episode.  Hosted on Acast.

In episode 3, season three, of The Kardashians, the sisters are getting existential. From talk of Kris grappling with moral questions around putting her kids through fame, and Kourtney self referencing her own memes, to how the sisters hold up a mirror to wider conversation on we react to and feel about social media in our own lives. MJ and Marie discuss the families commitment to upholding rampant capitalism, and the ongoing reckoning with their own values surrounding success thats being played out in this season of the show.Catch up with episode one of our brand new podcast series if you missed it!

The stans are not happy. They're returning gig tickets, creating twitter threads justifying their decision to attend concerts, and rescinding their status as a Swiftie; all because Taylor Swift is dating Matty Healy. But why are the (rumoured) new couple so controversial? And should we deserve better from the celebrities we love? This episode, Ione and Eden are digging into the controversy - from why people hate the 1975 frontman, and if fans project too much onto their faves, to whether Taylor Swift has ever, really, been a good person.
