It's because the number of decent writers has gone down, combined with the fact that the entertainment industry doesn't want to pay writers what they're worth.

Kim Kardashian said she wouldn’t use privilege to get her kids into college. Yet she’ll do it to get her daughter a spot in musical theatre, which was essentially taken from kids who worked years just to get such an huge audition.

what an obtuse thing for her to say though. like even if she didn't buy her kids their way into the school, she can still pay for it out of pocket. what is she gonna do, make her kids get a part time job at Domino's? when you're that rich, literally everything you do is of privilege. I mean we know she's wildly out of touch and possibly a narc if not a total sociopath (I think most obscenely wealthy people are one or the other tbh) but damn

@@K.C-2049 I just think think its ironic for her to say that and then put her daughter in this position. Because although she didn't buy her daughter into a spot for college, she still did the same thing of using privilege to leverage her daughter to getting a huge gig that she didn't even work for, let alone audition. And take it from kids who've done this their whole lives and actually could have benefited from the role.

i'm pretty sure there was a brief mention of the kendrick drake beef in last months pop culture video, but i'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in this month at all bc that's when it blew up.
The world of Kpop is currently having a very public court case between the biggest conglomerate in the industry, and the CEO of one of their labels. You’d think the super big guy is winning, but no, for the first time in history of Kpop courts, the court is siding with the smaller label. That was the decision late in May, but there are still more decisions coming. Don’t get your hopes up for a David vs Goliath story, they are all horrible people there, she (the CEO of Ador, the small label) just seems to be smarter than everyone else there.
Endless shrimp is not the reason, it’s because the private equity firm that bought RL sold off all the land at the restaurants locations and required them to rent the land back to continue running the restaurants … which was too expensive and sent them to bankruptcy.

There are so many ways that the genocide in Gaza has impacted pop culture in the past month. The met gala, digital guillotine, Hinds Hall by Macklemore, Bella Hadids dress, etc. I’ve been an MG fan for years and it’s my go-to source for pop culture news, but at this point I might need to reconsider. The silence is speaking volumes 😢

She’s never mentioned the genocide once on her channel. It makes me think that she has personal ties to Israel. I can’t see a reason to not mention it, especially since this channel doesn’t shy from speaking about politics, and what’s happening in Gaza is much bigger, and more important than that.

Baby Reindeer and Back to Black were talked about for a whole month straight, especially Baby Reindeer. I feel like the people who talked about Back to Black mostly talked about the director and the social media backlash that ensued. It also created a discussion on biopics about female celebrities and showing trauma porn and relationship woes as opposed to their talent.

Yea and that there was the bombings that killed palestinian refugees the same day of the met. Hence why thousands of people protested on the streets outside of the met and kickstarted the blockout
the qualifying for the monaco gp may as well have determined who won the race. still a deserved win for charles though, him being mentioned in a video alongside twice and aespa out of all people is kinda surreal to me. not to mention said video has spinning nemo as the intro. other stuff i remember: stray kids and lewis hamilton at the met gala since i mentioned kpop and f1, min hee jin winning against hybe (which i don't know how to feel about that just yet) and FUCK THE EBU (HAIIIIII :3)
5:25 Nemo, representing Switzerland, is the first non binary performer to win Eurovision. This is also Switzerland's second win since Celine Dion in 1988, 36 years ago. Meanwhile, fan favourite Joost Klein for The Nethlands is disqualified from the finals. The official reason is because of "unlawful threats" to the contests camera woman, but there is reports saying that she was harassing him by recording him backstage despite Joost asking her to stop.
These scratch an itch in my brain! You cover all the topics im interested in and you cut to the chase, loves it
I love these recaps. I always miss about 90% of it in real time so this is a really nice condensed way to catch back up 😂
Meghan and Sabrina Carpenter just confirmed they albuns are coming. Camila Cabello and Lil Nas X released a song and the mv is one of my favorites from this year tbh. Katy Perry changed the visual identity of her social medias and Gaga also confirmed her new album is coming. Jojo Siwa threatens to release a new song. Also a Scooby Doo live action series was confirmed, but i think this was in April? I don't remember.

forgot to include that Megan’s song was also majorly influenced by Boa Hancock from one piece
You know what's even more terrible that Dan's suing Quiet on Set? It's the fact that if he wins the series will be taken down from every streaming site which means Drake Bell's story will be gone, all the stuff about Jason and Brian and other child actors stories that have nothing to do with Dan 😐

I only ever listened to NF who is outlier in the rap community but if this beef washed up on my shore when I don't really listen to either of them but on the course of trying to piece together what was happening and understanding it, it turned out be epic on a mass scale, you missing out on something spectacular!
What about Bella Hadid wearing the iconic keffiyeh dress from Michael and Hushi's February 2001 runway show to the cannes festival? The security guard was mentioned, but not the fact that speaking up for Palestine was banned.

This felt a little hollow when watching I'm ngl. You mentioned moments like the met gala, eurovision but failed to talk about the major protests for Palestine people were doing to counter these events and they were pretty significant considering the it ended up on the news and the protest/ anger people had towards the met gala led to the celebrity block list. I feel like if you're covering these events, you have the responsibility to talk about those moments too. This doesn't feel like a pop culture recap and more what celebs and big corp like disney have been doing up since last month.

What happened to originality in hollywood?

I feel like every recap video I watch always includes at least 3 different films coming out based on preexisting material.
