#104: Taylor Swift, Slacker Culture, Sally Rooney

Myf and Zan are in their pastels and digesting the week in pop culture. Tay Tay has been accused of ripping off Bey, but we’re wise to it. A great article about the pendulum swinging back towards slacker culture has us ready for the revival, and the darkness of the latest Game of Thrones was intentional, but not helpful for most of the world’s viewers. Don’t worry, it’s a spoiler free zone. Meanwhile Zan is finally convinced by a pair of Crocs. Myf was already there.
