#12: The Cult of Celebrity Personality
Manage episode 328402914 series 2800359
Pop culture really is a double-edged sword. Given the rise of the 24-hour news cycle, tabloid press and instant-gratification social media, we're all inundated with information. Sometimes, we don't actually WANT it, but there it is — ready to be consumed. To what extent do our fandoms give us the obligation or even the right to pry into the personal lives of the public figures who entertain us? On this episode, Saint and Jim tackle the thorny topic of celebrity, the extent to which the lifestyles of the rich and famous sometimes offer more drama than their professional projects, and what it all means to fandom as a concept.
