Show notes
The Atlantic staff writer and Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves author Sophie Gilbert joins Amy to talk about All's Fair. The new Ryan Murphy show starring Kim Kardashian has received uniformly dire reviews — yet has triumphed in the face of its badness with pretty respectable ratings. Is this the end of competency in culture? Did All's Fair's creators intend for this show to be so terrible? Plus what Kardashian's captivating blankness, on unflinching view in All's Fair, says about the state of culture today.ChaptersLinks and resources:Get Sophie's book: Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against ThemselvesRead Sophie's All's Fair review in The Atlantic.Read Sophie's essay about how money is ruining television in The Atlantic.Read Jill Filipovic's essay, "The End of Competence."Read Amy's All's Fair fashion review or listen to it as a podcast in Spotify or Apple.Learn more about your ad choices.
