Ep 250: Love Is Blind, My Unorthodox Life & More

This episode was different than almost any other that Emma and Julie have done. Given that there wasn’t much news in the world of pop culture, they devoted the majority of this episode to a reality television debrief.  First, they started with the three episode special, Love Is Blind: After The Alter. As most who watched it can probably confirm, it was relatively painful to get through. That being said, still a bunch to discuss (Jessica’s revival, Damian/Francesca/Giannina & so much more).  They then transitioned into a rather intensive breakdown of Netflix’s new reality show, My Unorthodox Life. They broke the conversation into two sections: 1) looking at it from a more critical lens as it applied to Judaism and 2) a more frivolous drama/plot line breakdown. They first discussed some of the concerns that the show raised, their own interpretations as Jews who do have a familiarity to the Orthodox community that was described, and more. Then, they talked the wealth, the drama, the magic that is Robert, and more.  Article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/forward.com/scribe/473098/i-grew-up-in-the-same-community-as-the-star-of-netflixs-my-unorthodox-life/%3fgamp Sami’s post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CRj1VH9LsrR/?utm_medium=copy_link Lastly, they touched on DaBaby’s disgusting and ill-informed rant against the LGBTQ+ community and those impacted by HIV/AIDS, the Selling Sunset relationship news, and a few minutes on Kardashians.  Elton John post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CR35rNQjyPy/?utm_medium=copy_link Alabama Barker step mom comment: https://www.instagram.com/p/CR0V0aBBNaE/?utm_medium=copy_link Kylie theory (that Emma and Julie don’t subscribe to - just showing so you know what they were referencing): https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMd3CtRGs/ Vote to nominate CBC in the People’s Choice Awards: https://www.podcastawards.com/app/signup Highlighted Black-Owned Business:  SPGBK springbreakwatches.com Instagram.com/spgbk CODES: Sakara - sakara.com/CBC for 20% off your first order  Athena club - code: CBC at athenaclub.com for 20% off  Perfect snacks - Text CBC to 83715 for 15% off To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
