Sydney Sweeney's Fashion Faux Pas, or Marketing Genius?

This week on Millennial, we’re diving into the Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle controversy- did the internet overreact to a cheeky jeans pun, or was there something deeper at play rooted in eugenics? We unpack the backlash, AE’s response, and Trump’s weirdly horny support (is that why he was sundowning on the White House roof?). Are brands like American Eagle even relevant anymore, or are we just getting old? Per usual, we have some great recs on tap:  TrumpsTruth.org to peek in on President poopy pants without needing a Truth Social account (Andrew), ‘Sinners’ on HBO Max (Laura), and ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ on Netflix (Pam). In After Dark, we’re digging into what millennials say they waste the most money on: plants, tech, booze, even… cocaine?Plus we debate whether these spends are truly wasteful or just misunderstood.
