About this episode

The episode discusses cloning, the nature of internet fame, and the challenges of maintaining celebrity status.

This week we debate the actual point of cloning yourself, using The Prestige as our case study - do you go full Hugh Jackman or full Christian Bale? We then question why the news insists on interviewing random people in the street about serious topical stories, then it's 'curtains for zoosha" as we look into how confusing the internet celebrity space is and how quickly you can fall behind. That leads into a chat about how brutally hard it is to reach the top of YouTube stardom, let alone stay there, and how most internet celebrities seem to appear from total obscurity - Hawk Tuah Girl being the prime example, who had a few months of fame before ending her internet career with an actual crypto rug pull. Naturally, we conclude that's how every creator's career should end.
