About this episode

This episode features a video version reflecting on the cultural impact of MTV and Fiona Apple's role in it.

This week I bring you a video version of last year’s MTV Summer series. 2025 marked the end of MTV as we know it, although it is not completely wiped from the airwaves. I wanted to mark its cultural demise with a bang—more specifically, the fondled trigger of Fiona Apple’s gun. The video vixens, like Alicia Silverstone and Erin Everly, who lit up the visuals for rock gods, are the sisters of the siren writhing on the floor, mouthing vitriolic truths about gender dynamics.
