Listen "#235: Goblin Mode immortalised, Balenciaga BDSM, Cocaine Bear"
Episode Synopsis
White Lotus is winding up and we’re on the edge of our seats, but importantly – which character would we most like to take back to our fancy hotel room? Myf and Zan are digging into a brilliant thinkpiece on just that. A couple of weeks ago we got the Macquarie Word of the Year, now it’s Oxford’s turn and the results prove that dictionaries are Bang Fam.Meanwhile it’s a bear, and not bird, week. Balenciaga have confused and upset a lot of people with their latest campaign showing BDSM bears in the hands of children. And the highly anticipated trailer for Cocaine Bear has dropped. Take our money.We reflect on the legacy and legend of Christine McVie too, and are banging on about two brilliant books from two brilliant women.Show notes:The White Lotus characters ranked: https://www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-and-radio/a-ranking-the-white-lotus-characters-i-would-invite-to-my-hotel-room-20221205-p5c3ss.htmlOxford Word of the Year: https://amp.theguardian.com/science/2022/dec/05/goblin-mode-new-oxford-word-of-the-yearBalenciaga bears: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/29/kardashian-teddy-bears-bondage-gear-balenciagaChristine McVie RIP: https://www.abc.net.au/doublej/music-reads/music-news/christine-mcvie-fleetwood-mac-died-tributes/101720878Christine McVie interview: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/09/fleetwood-macs-christine-mcvie-cocaine-and-champagne-made-me-perform-betterCocaine Bear trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuWEEKeJLMI&ab_channel=UniversalPicturesFrench guy wins right not to be “fun”: https://www.businessinsider.com/man-won-legal-right-not-be-fun-at-work-alcoholism-2022-11Reasons Not to Worry: https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Brigid-Delaney-Reasons-Not-to-Worry-9781743310496/Grace Tame: https://www.panmacmillan.com.au/9781760988050/Bang Back to us: [email protected] On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.
