Bimbo Stoicism, Gwyneth Paltrow's Controversies & Steamy Scenes In Off Campus

Hello ‘ello EICrashouts!

Happy Friday but even more importantly- happy wedding day to our beloved Ruchira! If you’ve not sorted your wedding gift yet don’t fret. The bride and groom have requested 5 star ratings and gorgeous reviews for the pod.

Onto the episode…

First up we’re discussing a truly bonkers run of celebrity endorsements. Timothée Chalamet for controversial prediction market Kalshi, his partner Kylie Jenner shilling Meta’s new Starfire AI glasses and Gwyneth Paltrow advertising luxury real estate in Israel… are some celebrities too famous for consequences? And how fat were those paycheques?

Next up a new philosophy on the block- Bimbo Stoicism. Described as “a viral internet subculture that blends ancient Stoic emotional detachment with hyper-feminine, reclaimed "bimbo" aesthetics” with “a core philosophy encouraging women to reject rigid patriarchal beauty hierarchies and embrace self-acceptance by identifying with a "twin animal" that matches their natural features and demeanour.” Word salad or a chance to escape a lifetime of female-coded suffering?

And finally: a steamy streamer to heatedly rival Heated Rivalry: Off Campus on Amazon Prime. Adapted from a book series of the same name by Elle Kennedy, the series is set at the fictional Briar University and follows music student Hannah Wells as she makes a deal with star hockey player and team captain Garrett Graham to start a fake relationship in exchange for her tutoring him. Perfect horny show or just a load of old fluff? One of us hated it, the other two have taste. No spoilers!

Thanks so much for listening! You can follow us @everythingiscontentpod for behind the scenes content and to help us decide future topics.

This week Oenone was loving Two Weeks In August on BBC iPlayer, Queenie Is Working On It by Candice Carty-Williams (out now!) and kimchi cheese toasties. Ruchira was loving Girl, Interrupted and Beth was loving True Detective series 1 and sort of maybe (??) liking Alice and Steve.
