 Episode 63: It's Misogynistic and Drips with Colonialistic Overtones, But it Has a Catchy Beat and I Can Dance to It: Problematic 80s songs | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:18:02

Marc and Kristina are looking at political correctness and the way that concept has evolved over time.  We put ten GenX favorite songs to the test.  Yep they are problematic.  Yep we still like them.  Trigger warning: some of these lyrics are really problematic from a homophobia, misogynistic, sexist, colonialistic perspective.  If this isn't your vibe, we understand and we look forward to seeing you next week.   Sources David Bowie, China Girl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMiY_ekrPSk Josie Cotton, Johnny Are You Queer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ2X2_ts5Kw Beastie Boys, Girls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoFB2R_AUwM Benny Mardones, Into the Night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG6cyLOQ3zs The Police, Don't Stand So Close to Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j75tJNYwWkY Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, Do They Know its Christmas Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RGz3vdJg00 The Police, Every Breath You Take: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wsMEj2ZfW8 The Vapors, Turning Japanese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCj2I0EJ9PM The Human League, Don't You Want Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqtXyQEHC58 The Rolling Stones, Brown Sugar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOfDD2OYOZE Dire Straits, Don't Stand So Close to Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YJUJPvySQg Frank Loesser, Baby it's Cold Outside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rhvtzzmq-Y Crockett, Emily.

 Episode 62: Richard Chamberlain and The Thorn Birds: The Blind Ambition Tour | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:12:43

In this episode Marc and Kristina discuss ambition, Aristotle, 1980s Miniseries and the Thorn Birds.  We are looking at the way ambition drives the characters in the Thorn Birds to basically make themselves miserable.  We place key characters on an Aristotelian ambition continuum and we are generally kind of ooged out by the fact that 1980s audiences were so astonished at the thought of a priest falling in love that they missed the grooming of a child by an adult man.  Plus we laugh and laugh and laugh.   Sources: Arnold, Eve.  The Quest for More: You Can Be Ambitious and Happy.

 Episode 58: He's a friend when things get tough: puppets, colonialization of Sleestaks and Saturday morning GenX kids shows | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:15:10

Is it time for timer?  Do you hanker for a hunk of cheese?  Did you wake up early before your parents, make a bowl of cereal and eat it in front of the tv watching all your favorite shows?  Do you know who the Banana Splits are?  How about HR Pufnstuf?  Are you afraid of Sleestaks?  We've got the episode for you.  We look first at the history of puppets (very briefly) and then we go into the world of 70s children's shows focusing on the wildness of Sid and Marty Krofft properties HR Pufnstuf and The Land of the Lost. Is it a classic genXtemporaneous?  Maybe not classic.  But it is at least as good as HR Pufnstuf and we do it without a laugh track. Sources: Ericksson, Hal.

 Episode 56: Are Those Your Leggings, or Are You Just Happy to See Me?: The Culty World of MLMs and LuLaRoe | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:59:43

Marc and Kristina are back at it with cult life (this episode was actually recorded weeks before the Fandom episodes and you might say that this research made them wonder if they'd discovered a nascent cult in the genX corner of TikTok).  In this episode they examine the false promise of MLMs, the flaw in the girl boss culture that it promotes, and how things can get really culty, really fast without anyone seeing what's going on; just like that its cult o'clock.

 Episode 54: From Tiger Beat to Tiger King: The Stanification of a GenX Fandom (episode 2a) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:49:40

In the first of a 2-part episode (part b to be released on Sunday), Marc and Kristina continue the dive into the GenX-dominated fandom/standom that surrounds William White, a 21-year-old TikTok creator and model from Canada.  During the researching of this project, Marc and Kristina have repeatedly questioned how the fandom went from women sincerely supporting women and together helping to catapult a deserving young man to internet fame, all the way to virtual gang warfare in five months.  We believe that social media (with its promise of anonymity, false sense of intimacy, and a misguided sense of security around expectations of privacy) and the perfect storm of events surrounding the discovery of William White by his Generation X fans (who themselves were seeking fun and perhaps connection and camaraderie on a new social media platform), have led to a standom that is marked on all sides by bullying, organized propaganda campaigns, disinformation, doxxing, threats of legal action, growing resentments that devolve into angry outbursts, and, most dramatically, the involvement of state and federal law enforcement actively investigating various allegations. William White is actually secondary to this narrative.  He is discussed only as and when he illustrates a point within the story of his fandom.  This is not a biography of William or the things he did last summer.  Neither Marc, nor Kristina, is interested in bashing William or hurting him.  We only wish him the best as his career continues.

 Episode 53: From Tiger Beat to Tiger King: The Rise of a GenX Fandom | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:19:21

In this episode, Marc and Kristina explore the difference between fandom, standom, and cults.  This episode provides a framework for exploring, once again, the crisis of meaning and the ways in which people look for communities to join and find support and camaraderie.  We dig into what defines each branch of admiration and community and we lay the groundwork for the next episode in this series, which will do a deep dive into the rise of a relatively new fandom that has fluoresced around a young Canadian TikTok creator and fledgling model called William White.  William, at 21, energized a following that is largely made up of women ranging in age from late 30s to beyond 70 beginning during Memorial Day weekend of 2020.  By the time of this publication, the fandom has devolved into warring factions where the daily norm involves leaked personal messages, bullying threats of doxxing, family members being harrassed, coordinated mass reporting of accounts across multiple social media platforms, threats of legal action and death threats.  All of this is accomplished in the name of a young man whose consistent message to fans has been to spread joy and positivity and unity.   This is why we can't have nice things, darling.   Research and citations below.   Taylor Swift Fandom: Toxic or Harmless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U14VPAkhAKg&t=311s Why Stan Culture is Toxic for Everyone, Including Celebrities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIdR7Er-zkI NXIVM On Trial produce by the Albay Times Union -- the paper that was publishing negative articles and cautionary tales about Keith Rainere and NXIVM for many years before the downfall Streaming and Television HBO's "The Vow" which tells the story of former high level NXIVM members Mark Vicente, Bonnie Piesse, Sarah Edmondson and her husband NIppy Starz's "Seduced" which tells the story of India Oxenburg and her Journey into and out of the NXIVM cult Taylor Swift Worshipped by NeoNazis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEdAtX_ze68&t=35s Imaginary Friends and Real World Consequences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22yoaiLYb7M&t=285s The Meaning Crisis for Beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaXWUE1SXpI&t=199s Why do People Join Cults (Ted Ed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB-dJaCXAxA   Are Fandoms Good or Unhealthy Obsessions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onxeBOnjWnU Fraade-Blanar, Zoe.

Marc and I have been busy doing a lot of research for this week's upcoming episode (and by Marc and I, I mean me) and we're about to dive back into that cult life.  To get you warmed up, we're reposting Episode 10, which was about the NXIVM sex cult through the documentary Seduced.   Coming on Friday we are going to discuss a situation that we've touched on in a light-hearted way earlier in this season when we discussed the nostalgic rise of William White on TikTok.  Things have taken a turn for the dark and we are going to dig into what we are looking at as clearly cult like behavior.   So please enjoy this episode to get in the mood and then come back on Friday for more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marc-snediker/support
