The Wild West of Noughties Reality TV
About this episode
The episode explores the resurgence of documentaries about 2000s reality TV and the cultural implications surrounding them.
Why are our TVs being flooded with documentaries about the problematic reality shows of the 2000s? Do Ai companies really care about killing Hollywood? How did niche French Existentialist theatre from the 90s inspire the biggest reality hit in history? The biggest (and most shocking) reality TV shows of the 90s and 00s are getting the 'tell-all' documentary treatment. Why did our culture create such a toxic environment for contestants, and has anything really changed? Sora2, the supposed film studio killer, has been shuttered by OpenAI. Can Hollywood breathe a sigh of relief, or is it because they're irrelevant to the tech titans of Silicon Valley?
