Are Swifties in a Cult?

Are Swifties in a Cult?

2024-02-2101:06:44

This week, Sophie (@joan.of.arca) and Caio (@punkrevolutionnow) explore the question that has been brewing in many of our minds: are Swifties in a cult? From the Swifties who have taken thousands from their savings to go to the Eras Tour, to the Swifites who danced at a theater in a scene straight out of Ari Aster's Midsommar, we wonder if Taylor Swift's influence has exceeded that of a typical popstar and into cult leader territory.  Examined under the framework of cult expert and former Harvard faculty Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, our hosts try to decide whether or not Swifties are just hardcore devoted fans, or bonfide cult members.  Plus, we read the testimonies of some recovering ex-Swifties in the r/SwiftlyNeutral subreddit, described as "a parasocial relationship recovery meeting."    Based on facts. Check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BasedNewsNetwork    NOTE: This episode contains criticism of Taylor Swift and fandom culture in general, and is in no way meant to be hateful. It is meant to be fun and tongue-in-cheek. If you're a Taylor Swift fan, we love you <3    Follow us on Instagram: Pod: @basednewsnetworkpod Sophie - @joan.of.arca Caio - @punkrevolutionnow   Follow us on Twitter/X:  Sophie - @soophieeb Caio - @punkrevnow   YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/@BasedNewsNetworkPodcast   Reach out with questions at basednewsnetworkpod@gmail.com

This episode, we interview LA-based filmmaker Molly McGlynn, the writer, executive producer, and director of Fitting In starring Maddie Ziegler. Fitting In is a semi-autobiographical, coming-of-age “traumadey” that follows 16-year-old Lindy (Maddie Ziegler) who is unexpectedly diagnosed with a reproductive condition, MRKH syndrome. The diagnosis upends her plans to have sex, her presumptions about womanhood and sexuality, her relationship with her mother, and most importantly, herself. The film was also produced by singer-songwriter and actress Janelle Monae. In this very personal episode, Sophie reveals her relationship to MRKH and how this film is important to people who struggle with reproductive conditions and gender identity.  Fitting In will screen in select theaters in North America. A list of theater locations will be available in the coming weeks on https://www.bluefoxentertainment.com/films/fitting-in.
