It was cringe...

In this episode Janice, Lauren, and Nikki discuss contemporary media and nostalgia. The hosts first examine a controversial Super Bowl commercial featuring Mike Tyson, debating whether his comments on health and processed foods constituted body shaming. The dialogue then shifts to an in-depth review of a documentary about America’s Next Top Model, where they critique Tyra Banks's leadership and the show's "cringe" historical moments. They reflect on the brutal reality of the fashion industry, the treatment of plus-size models, and how cultural standards of "wokeness" have changed since the early 2000s. Ultimately, the trio highlights the evolution of reality television and the lasting professional impact the show had on its contestants and judges.Did you watch the documentary?
