Episode 63.1: Reality Television

Michial Farmer and Nathan hold forth on Reality Television, demonstrating once more Gilmour's lack of connection with pop culture. We take on the origins in the documentary format, the shift from documentary's high self-regard to reality TV's self-awareness as entertainment, and discuss why it's alright (according to Farmer) to mock a divorce if it's a Kardashian divorce. Among the TV shows, thinkers, and other ideas we take on are An American Family, The Real World, The Weakest Link, The Soup, Survivor, conservative localism, celebrity narcissism, Mythbusters, and Project Runway.
