Met Gala Hunger Games & Trumpy Bedtime Stories
5/7/202650 min
Jemma and Marina dive headfirst into the Met Gala circus from impossible outfits and billionaires playing dress-up, to the growing backlash against celebrity excess in a world on fire.
They also tackle Trump casually floating a third term, Nigel Farage mysteriously dodging scrutiny over Reform’s mega-money backers, and why parts of the media seem determined to ignore some scandals while amplifying others.
Plus: RFK Jr’s toe-curling Trump worship, a Reform candidate’s racist tweets, LinkedIn lunacy, and the eternal question, how exactly do celebrities wee at the Met Gala?
As ever, it’s bleak, ridiculous and somehow still funny.
