Dispatches From The Kardashian Simulacrum: Memeing Through The Existential Dread

Dispatches From The Kardashian Simulacrum: Memeing Through The Existential Dread

In episode 3, season three, of The Kardashians, the sisters are getting existential. From talk of Kris grappling with moral questions around putting her kids through fame, and Kourtney self referencing her own memes, to how the sisters hold up a mirror to wider conversation on we react to and feel about social media in our own lives. MJ and Marie discuss the families commitment to upholding rampant capitalism, and the ongoing reckoning with their own values surrounding success thats being played out in this season of the show.


Catch up with episode one of our brand new podcast series if you missed it! We've teamed up with the genius behind Kardashian Kolloquium, MJ Corey, and her sister Marie, to breakdown the new season of The Kardashians episode by episode.


We've also introduced a new membership tier for fans of the pod. Support the podcast here!
