This week, Julia is joined by MJ Corey, aka Kardashian Kolloquium and author of Dekonstructing the Kardashians. Together the girlies unpack America's most powerful matriarchy, exploring the Kardashians' relationship to capitalism, gender, race, sex, and the attention economy. MJ explains how postmodern theory is crucial for understanding their cultural power, and shares what the Kardashians have in common with Princess Jasmine, The Spice Girls, Donald Trump, Disney, and WWE. Digressions include therapists loving petty drama, Kendall's longterm lesbian allegations, and the mysterious, tragic life of Rob.
