American Cheating and Gossip's Alt-Right Pipeline (+ The White Lotus 303/Love is Blind 809-811)

This week, I talk about the Oscars and the implications of ageism in Hollywood. I give two Buffy episode recommendations in honor of Michelle Trachtenberg, then transition into a discussion on American Cheating, exploring how societal norms shape perceptions of infidelity among celebrities. I then analyze the influence of gossip culture and its ability to lead individuals towards the alt-right. Finally, I end with an analysis of the political dynamics presented in both the latest episode of The White Lotus and the current season of Love is Blind.
