12/01/20 • 103 min

This week we can't help but talk all about the enduring obsession with certain white men! Holly cateogories white male celebrities under the umbrella of Twitter's White Boy of the Month and #internetboyfriend. We have the Attractive but Eccentrics: Adam Driver and Robert Pattinson, etc.; Soft Bois: Timothee Chalamet, Noah Centineo and the newly discovered soft boi Barack Obama. We discuss the 'controversy' of Harry Styles' American Vogue cover and how men have been wearing skirts and dresses FOREVER. Hannah ranks all the best himbos, real and fictional, in our culture (let us know if you agree or disagree)! Other discussions include Marina and the Diamonds' new song 'Man's World' and it's mad lyrics and Sia's terrible, terrible film on autism and her reaction to the backlash (yikes)!
