Culture Vulture

Today we've got a big chat about Taylor Swift removing the word 'fat' from her Anti-Hero music video, before diving into age gaps in Hollywood. Is it fair for us to be so critical of them? Is it the result of life after #metoo? Is it any of our business? All of these questions asked, but not necessarily answered, in this weeks episode of Culture Vulture!!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we give a cheeky review of Taylor Swift's new album 'Midnights,' a chat about When We Were Young Fest, and then deep dive into BTS serving in South Korea's military and what that tells us about the government's control over pop culture!

We're on the road so it's a little bit different this week - we just bring you two stories from the news cycle that we want to unpack. First, the allegations made against Alexander O'Connor, known on stage as Rex Orange County, and then we cover some updates in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's custody battle. Also, tune in to hear about Luce's developing obsession with Matty Healy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We've FINALLY seen Don't Worry Darling and we give you ALL of our thoughts. Also - why does Matty Healy from The 1975 have beef with Triple J?

This week we have a very sensitive Luce and Liv on mic, so it's lucky they're tackling such a low stakes topic - Nepotism babies!!! They begin with a quick chat about Dalle-2 and the future of art (our fave topic...) and then really get into the nitty gritty of nepo-babies and how it all really winds down to social inequality!

Barbie Ferreira is leaving Euphoria and we're upset about it!! We're also upset at how child stars have been treated for basically... ever.
