About this episode

The episode features Maia Wyman discussing Charli XCX's film 'The Moment' and the complexities of contemporary celebrity and online fandoms.

This week, we’re joined by Maia Wyman – known on Youtube as Broey Deschanel – to talk about Charli XCX’s cinematic debut, ‘The Moment’. As we revisit BRAT summer, we discuss the pressures of contemporary celebrity, how the internet addresses and avoids confronting the demands of online fandoms, and why we’re not sure if the film is supposed to be satirical or a serious commentary. We also revisit an old friend who has some opinions about the moon, and we take our Subway Takes for a test run.
