StaightioLab cohost and Gawker editor George Civeris returns to us this episode, and we\u2019re going to Paris\u2019. In 2013, Sofia Coppola delivered another tale of disaffected youth, this time ripped from gossip column headlines with The Bling Ring<\/i>. With a post-Harry Potter Emma Watson at the center, the film follows several Los Angeles celeb-obsessed teens who famously got busted for breaking into the homes of tabloid staples like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Already demoted to Cannes\u2019 Un Certain Regard section (after Marie Antoinette<\/i> was notoriously booed in competition), the film was one of the director\u2019s most harshly received films for its depiction of teen misguidedness.<\/p>\n
This episode, we talk about our varying opinions on Watson\u2019s performance and our picks for the weakest films in Coppola\u2019s oeuvre. We also talk about comparisons to another film from A24\u2032s first year, the film\u2019s atypical portrayal of the gay teen experience, and the film\u2019s precisely-timed soundtrack.<\/p>\n
Topics also include how mid-aughts celeb culture has evolved to today, Secret Celebrity Drag Race<\/i>, and another round of Alter Egos.<\/p>\n
