• TEASER: Taylor and Travis

  Taylor Swift has entered a new era: Wifey. Rather than take a (much needed) vacation following her world tour, she’s announced not only a forthcoming album but also a forthcoming wedding to football superstar and HIMBO of the decade, Travis Kelce. But the couple, who very publicly began dating in later 2023 are not without their detractors. Along with the typical “PR relationship” accusations, speculation of a far more sinister plot is being thrown their way. Long time listeners may recall that we covered subset of Taylor Swift’s fandom who call themselves “Gaylors” in our second ever episode. Well buckle up, because we’re back at it again. But this time, we’re going to address the theory that Taylor Swift is secretly queer for what it really is: a CONSPIRACY theory. One that goes all the way to the top…. of the NFL. Put on your tinfoil hats, pop in your headphones, and take a listen. Tangent include: George Bush’s alleged role in a celebrity death, Naomi Klein’s Doppleganger, and Miley Cyrus’s 2012 fashion era. FULL EPISODE ON OUR PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/c/rehashpodcast Our Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

• Sabrina Carpenter's Album Cover [teaser]

  In a time where Sydney Sweeney is spreading her legs for a popular clothing retailer in the name of eugenics, it’s not so far-fetched to imagine that Sabrina Carpenter would also upset people with her latest album cover. Hair blown out, kneeling at the feet of a suited man, and captioned “Man’s Best Friend,” this image of Carpenter sent shock waves across the internet for provoking an already fraught political moment. But was the outrage justified? In this very special bonus episode, perhaps the best one yet, Hannah and Maia ~unpack~ their complicated feelings about the controversy. Was Carpenter’s team, like Sweeney’s, engaging in a conservative grift, or was this another instance of the public’s paternalistic impulse to whip female figures into shape? Is this just another transgressive breakthrough from a popstar, or is there something more nefarious at play? In our image-addled society, why did this one cause such a stir? And did Andrea Dworkin really have a point after all? All this and more on Patreon. Tangent includes: a postmortem on And Just Like That. FULL EPISODE ON PATREON:https://www.patreon.com/c/rehashpodcastOur Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

• Facetune

  Why isn’t “airbrushed skin for all” written in the constitution? For years, photoshop was a professional’s game, gatekept, if you will, from the masses. But then Facetune came about and forever changed the course of history, democratizing photoshop to the dysmorphic masses. The promise of a user-friendly photoshop experience, where anybody could fabricate their appearance, was more seductive than anything because, by the year 2017, Facetune was the most popular paid app around. But as people begin to hide behind their social media avatars, and as our avatars become less realistic by the day, we can’t help but wonder whether Facetune has damaged our self-perception forever. In this finale episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the impact of Facetune - from the advent of “no face,” to Celebface turning “facetune-spotting” into a sport, to plastic surgeons using it as a conditioning tool. Has our vain, over-stimulated visual culture raised the ceiling so high that we now aspire to look like aliens? Tangents include: Lena Dunham’s new show, and Mary M. Cosby’s photoshop skills. Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content:⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills:⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusicOur Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

• Glossier

  For those of us whose “smokey eye” and “blending” skills fell short during the beauty guru makeup regime, Glossier was our saviour. Founded by “super intern” Emily Weiss (who has a brief 3-episode run on The Hills as Lauren Conrad’s more competent counterpart at Vogue), Glossier popularized the “no makeup” makeup look of the mid to late 2010s. With its minimalist branding, it quickly became a cult brand. Glossier was what Apple was to tech, what American Apparel was to fashion. And even better, it was feminist. Rising from the ashes of the beauty guru was the “Glossier girl” - an effortlessly beautiful cool girl who spent all that time she WOULD be doing her makeup…reading. But, in this episode, Hannah and Maia ask whether Glossier was really all that great. Can a makeup brand actually be feminist? Tangents include: the tyranny of “alt” stuffed animals.Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content:⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills:⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusicOur Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

• The BBL

  In 2021, a flight to Atlanta was delayed for two hours to accomodate for 24 wheelchair-bound women who had just received a little procedure known as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). This was not an isolated incident. In the mid-2010s, the number of luteal fat grafting (BBL) procedures increased by 103 percent, as did BBL-related deaths. It was ass-mageddon. So, in this episode, Hannah and Maia trace the history of the BBL back to its very sketchy origins in Brazil under the purview of superstar plastic surgeon Ivo Pitanguy and a prominent eugenicist named Renato Kehl, and the impact that the country’s national mythology has had on the prevalence of the BBL today. From Miss BumBum contests, to Kim K’s reality TV butt X-ray, to Antony Bumba’s viral parodies of the BBL on TikTok, how exactly did we arrive at a culture where lives are risked for the sake of having a large dumpy?
