Episode 10: Julia Fox

11/01/22 • 95 min

This week we explore The Myth of Julia Fox: her hard-partying youth, various artistic endeavors, explicit sex appeal, and attempts at provocation in 2022. We also talk about the fragility of the dream(s) she represents: being young, hot, and reckless in New York; representing a milieu just by being yourself; and turning out just fine (and famous) after following your impulses to the bitter end.

Episode 11: Mitski with Molly

Joining us this week is one of my dearest friends, Molly, to discuss the musician and de facto Sad Girl cult leader, Mitski. We talk about the liminal space of teenage girlhood, extended adolescence, how to elevate melodrama into art, and the social power of female passivity.
