  • 11. Disastrous Dentistry, Kaotic Cancellations and Living In A Post-Lingerie World

    01:07:20||Season 2, Ep. 11
    This week on pod, The Three Musketeers are back together. Beth, Ruchira and Oenone soldier through the battlefield of streaming services, why is it that Netflix loves to cancel shows in their infancy? We want to fight them! Kaos might not have reached number one on Netflix's charts, but it certainly has become beloved to everyone who has plunged their eyeballs into the reimagined Greek Mythology. The action centres around various prophecies, relationships and quests as Zeus tries to prevent the fall of his powerful family. It’s inventive, it’s sexy, it’s dramatic, it’s different. And now it’s done. Next up - how far are you willing to go for a good smile? A piece in the Guardian this week dives into the world of veneers, specifically why cosmetic dentistry is such a booming industry and what happens when the pursuit for perfect teeth goes horrifically wrong. It’s clear there’s a booming popularity in getting picture-perfect teeth, but would you go for veneers? Does it appeal to you?Lastly, after a 6 year hiatus, The iconic display of Angels is back -The Victoria’s Secret’s catwalk show took place for the first time since 2018 - we ask,  Is there a place for the Victoria’s Secret Show in 2024?English Teacher On Disney PlusBrian Jordan Alvarez XKaos On Netflix Jawbreakers Young patients want beautifully imperfect veneers.

  • 10. The Substance, presidents on podcasts & posting your partner online

    51:08||Season 2, Ep. 10
    This week on the pod, Ruchira and Beth are taking The Substance! Taking it for a spin around the content playground, that is. We discuss whether Mubi’s latest film release is a feminist masterpiece, or just a mess of blood, guts and big fake boobs. Did we love it, hate it or rush out of the cinema retching before it was over? Listen to find out!Next up is the Kamala Harris x Call Her Daddy interview which saw the Vice President get stuck into women's issues with Gen Z podcasting powerhouse Alex Cooper. Genius masterstroke by a savvy Gen Z campaign team or potential PR disaster for everyone involved? Finally, we debate the age old internet question: should you be posting your partner on your social media or has Lana Del Rey done it right by keeping her relationship under wraps until she was halfway down the aisle? If you have anything you want to add to this week’s episode then we insist that you tell us immediately on Instagram @everythingiscontentpod.

The girls answer that core question, and dissect just how compelling her male characters are. The chat is fairly spoiler free, but do skip onto the next segment around the 30 minute mark if you want to be extra cautious.Next-up, discourse around Rooney and her mostly thin characters was firing up the timeline even before Intermezzo dropped. Just how justified are these arguments against the alleged "great millennial writer" of our time? Finally, what can we learn from Rooney's astonishing success when it comes to publishing at large?

    01:01:23||Season 2, Ep. 8
    This week it’s our beloved Oenone’s turn to be ill- she was very missed but the show went on with Ruchira and Beth getting stuck into the debate about modern concert etiquette after a viral call out after a Chappell Roan gig. Are we forgetting how to behave at events or are times simply changing?Next up is Jamali Maddix’s documentary on so-called ‘passport bros’ who encourage young men to travel to South America to find better lives and better wives. A sinister male MLM in the making or just a passing fad- we discuss. And lastly The New York Times investigated a ‘Skinny Influencer’ after she was banned from TikTok for videos that some believe encourage disordered eating. Is this a move in the right direction or social media censorship? And why can't we escape the cult of thinness? This final conversation contains potentially triggering mention of eating disorders and diet culture, so please listen with care. Run-don’t-walk to our Instagram @everythingiscontentpod to let us know what you thought about today’s topics- our DMs and comments are wide open and waiting. THE GUARDIAN - The Ministry of Time NETFLIX - His Three DaughtersVARIETY - Bebe Rexha Hit by PhoneSKY NEWS - Pink stunned by fan’s mothers ashes THE GUARDIAN - Brixton Academy CrushBILLBOARD - Astroworld DISTRACTIFY - beabadoobee Stresses Importance of Concert EtiquetteU&DAVE - Jamali Maddix: Follow the LeaderTHE GUARDIAN - Hustlers INDIE MAG- Conspiracy Culture THE GUARDIAN - Follow the Leader NYTIMES - Who Is the ‘Skinny Influencer?’ WSJ - Liv Schmidt
