Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: In The Heights of Work and Summer Headlines about the colourism in In The Heights have dominated all week. Both Cody and Violeta wrote about it yesterday.

Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Kathryn and Renée and the post-40 ascent On this episode of Show Your Work, Duana and I actually begin on… Bennifer. Duana, of course, has a question about staffing, in particular Ben Affleck’s staff, and whether or not there was any staffing contribution in bringing back that watch. Our main topic on this episode though focuses By Lainey • May 27, 2021 02:48 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Madonna’s Truth or Dare Vulture’s Oral History of Madonna’s Truth or Dare was the best thing on the internet last week, in my opinion. And Duana’s. And I’m pretty sure we’re not alone. Those of us who were around at the time devoured that piece and maybe watched Truth By Lainey • May 13, 2021 04:15 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: The Oscars, SYW-cut On this episode of Show Your Work, we begin with vaccine image rehabilitation. Here in Canada, over the last ten days or so, there’s been a vaccine frenzy among a certain generation: Gen Xzeneca is what we’re calling it on social media. Here’s a selection of some By Lainey • Apr 29, 2021 03:40 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Amanda Gorman & The Pressures of Perfection The Amanda Gorman spread in the May issue of Vogue, complete with two different covers, is, of course, stunning – not surprising, maybe, based on Gorman’s style (and the fact that she signed with IMG not long after her performance at the Presidential Inauguration launched her into the celebrity stratosphere) By Duana • Apr 15, 2021 02:24 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Asians in Media and the Almost Gossip Girl Before we get into the main points of this week’s podcast, Duana’s sharing her playlist.

If you could learn how By Lainey • Mar 25, 2021 03:41 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Harry, Meghan, and Oprah’s Master Class What else were we going to talk about on this week’s episode? And this is also why we’ve done a quick edit, recording last night and turning it around to upload earlier than we normally do. I’ve been posting about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview By Lainey • Mar 09, 2021 04:23 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Buffy, Britney, Boys On this episode of Show Your Work, we start with Buffy, because one of the major entertainment headlines over the last week has been about Charisma Carpenter and what she revealed about her experience working with Joss Whedon.

Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Passing and Perceived Hotness It was announced yesterday that Rebecca Hall’s directorial debut film, Passing, which premiered at Sundance, has been acquired by Netflix for more than $15 million.

Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Awkwafina vs. Nora? Lainey correctly pointed out (though I think I shot her down) that this is our first episode in 2021 – and I really like how things are going. We’ve talked a lot about the work we see, who’s doing it, who isn’t, and who should – but now, maybe By Duana • Jan 21, 2021 02:54 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: In Bed With Bridgerton It’s the show that everyone is bingeing and while there are so many wonderful, lovely things to enjoy about Bridgerton, as Sarah has documented in the use of colour and the costumes and textiles and the gossip and most of the hot sex, there is That Scene. And how By Lainey • Dec 30, 2020 03:11 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Tom Cruise pulls a Tom Cruise What else would we be talking about on this new episode of Show Your Work? Tom Cruise lost his sh-t at work, after all.

Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Mariah’s Meaning and The Bloody Truth At long last (and after many emails from you guys keeping us on it) we waited for December, and unofficially rang in the holiday season and finally had our book club about The Meaning Of Mariah Carey. Problem is, there may not be a whole lot of meaning… not that By Duana • Dec 10, 2020 01:19 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: The WAP of the Year and Celebrity Nepotism You know how every year all the dictionaries name their “word of the year”? Oxford English Dictionary’s word of the year last year was “climate emergency” which, technically, is two words but I’m not here to pick a fight with Oxford. This year Oxford couldn’t decide on By Lainey • Nov 26, 2020 02:30 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: Political Bodice-Rippers and the Ultimate Host After last week’s US election and what happened in Georgia, we received multiple requests to feature the work of Stacey Abrams on the next episode.
