Super Bowl Reaction + Replay Leaked Nudes, Sex Tapes, and America’s Obsession With Power

This week on Name 3 Songs…

We’re discussing the biggest (pop culture) moments from the Super Bowl including Usher’s perfect performance, why Justin Bieber didn’t perform and why the internet was convinced he would, Taylor Swift being No. 1 girlfriend and also appearing with her girl gang, and of course, Beyonce using a Verizon commercial to announce that she’s dropping new music, and that new music then leading us to find out she’s dropping a full album on March 29.

Then! We’re looking back at the previous episode “Leaked Nudes, Sex Tapes, and America’s Obsession With Power.” We felt it was important to revisit this episode after explicit AI images of Taylor Swift were passed around the internet. We discussed this at length with special guest Matt Thompson, digging into men’s relationship and pornography and how they use it to exert power over women. 

About Leaked Nudes, Sex Tapes, and America’s Obsession With Power:

America is both terrified and obsessed with the idea of nudity and how nude bodies must be viewed as sexual objects. This double-edged sword of a relationship America has with nudity shows its true colors whenever we see celebrity nude photos or sex tapes leak. Since the internet became a household commonality, America’s obsession with holding some sort of power over its brightest stars has led to an influx of leaked nudes and sex tapes.

We’re looking into both America’s weird relationship with naked bodies as well the media and general public’s response to leaked celebrity nude photos and unauthorized releases of sex tapes. A conversation sparked by the recent controversy over Britney Spears sharing self-censored nudes on Instagram led us down a rabbit hole covering everyone from Vanessa Hudgens to Pete Wentz to Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
