About this episode
MJ Corey returns to discuss the cultural significance of the Kardashians through an academic lens.
MJ Corey, founder of Kardashian Kolloquium and published author of Deconstructing The Kardashians, returns to Fluently Forward to break down what the Kardashians actually mean. It's not an oxymoron, we are actually discussing this KarJenner family with an intellectual, academic lens! We also talk Kanye as the Jackie Kennedy of his era, the real reason Kim chose Taylor Swift as her foil, and what the Kardashians understood about Instagram selfies before any of us did.
