  • Scientology & The Cult of Celebrity

    Scientology & The Cult of Celebrity
    Jan 17 2022
    This week we take a deep dive into the Church of Scientology and their relationship to (and obsession with) celebrities. From alleged cover-ups, arranged marriages to using the charisma of the celebrity to spread their beliefs far and wide, there is no Scientology without the A-list celeb, and seemingly nothing they won’t do to keep their A-listers loyal followers.In this episode we cover the beginnings of this profitable relationship and how it was always L Ron Hubbard’s wish to be a celebrity Church. We also talk about how John Travolta got involved with Scientology, how they helped his career and reputation before casting him aside and how now, they seem to be doing little to cover his tracks. Of course we take a look at Tom Cruise, the Church’s alleged #2, and how the organisation have curated relationships, staff and an entire life for their most famous and devoted member.

  • The Streisand Effect & When Censorship Backfires

    The Streisand Effect & When Censorship Backfires
    Feb 10 2022
    There's an awful lot of talk about censorship in the media lately, but did you know a lot of the most viral information was only revealed because of an attempt to cover it up?The Streisand Effect is a phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information, often via the Internet.In this episode we cover a plethora of examples of the Streisand Effect, from where it gets it's name, political coverups gone wrong, all the way to literary censorship creating cult classics like Lolita. Finally we talk about Roko's Basilisk, described as "The Most Terrifying Thought Experiment of All Time", that went viral through the effect, possibly puts everyone who is aware of its existence in danger.Sign up for weekly episodes: www.patreon.com/redroompod--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/redroompod/message

    Off-Script Hot-Takes #2: Andy Warhol & The Theatre of The Internet
    Apr 20 2022
    Hi everyone!This month's Off-Script Hot-Take I discuss my love of Warhol that was reignited through the new Netflix docu-series, I watch the Kardashian's so you don't have to (but you will because are all merely slaves to their machine) and view them and the show through the Warholian lens of instant fame, curated controversy and polished yet heavily contrived realities.Finally I ponder the importance of the villian and how we are all just jesters on the stage of The Theatre of the Internet.Enjoy!Some links:Tiktok 1: https://www.tiktok.com/@celebritymemoirbookclub/video/7087577461801635118?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1Tiktok 2: https://www.tiktok.com/@cozyakili/video/7086975588585442606Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation intro: https://youtu.be/pupLQd3SRmsAdam Curtis Hypernormalization (everyone should watch this imo): https://youtu.be/thLgkQBFTPw--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/redroompod/message

    The Chronically Online Female: From Tumblr to TikTok
    May 3 2022
    Welcome everyone!Today we are chatting about being Chronically Online ™️: from scrolling for hours on Tumblr to curating every inch of your life around an algorithm, chances are if you're listening to this you are chronically online too!As someone who 'grew up' so to speak, on Tumblr I wanted to chat to Eden Young (social editor of Polyester Zine) about our coming of age online, how Tumblr helped shape us as women and how we think future iterations of social media have shaped other young women to come. We chat about the many archetypes of femininity expressed via the internet and social media in the last 10 years and their importance.Follow eden here: https://www.instagram.com/doeeeyes/Sign up for more content here: https://www.patreon.com/redroompod--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/redroompod/message
