About this episode

Loren LoRosa and Alexis Bennett Parker discuss the themes of The Devil Wears Prada 2 and their relevance to today's media industry.

This week on The Latest with Loren LoRosa , Loren is joined by media powerhouse Alexis Bennett Parker for a real, unfiltered conversation about The Devil Wears Prada 2 —and how closely it mirrors the reality of today’s media industry. From the fall of legacy magazines to the rise of digital dominance, they break down the film’s biggest themes: power, ownership, relevance, and what it really takes to survive in an ever-changing industry. The conversation goes deeper than the movie, touching on career pressure, being “the only one in the room,” balancing ambition with real life, and the constant search for purpose and validation. They also get personal—talking about burnout, boundaries, chasing success, and the importance of showing up as your full, authentic self.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
