Try Hard: All's Fair, Michael Jackson & Labubus

Can you be camp on purpose? Can we trust the truth if we can't trust the source? Is the reign of American entertainment coming to an end?Yep, we're asking some HEAVY questions this week, but don't worry, it's all in good fun! Off the back of Kim Kardashian's new hit (??) show All's Fair, both Kate and Rory figured it would be only fair to give the episodes a fair shake, while also working out if critics can even tell the difference between purposefully camp and accidentally terrible?Later in the show, Rory discusses the first teaser for Michael, the upcoming biopic on Michael Jackson, and what to expect from the movie, and if the whole subgenre of musical biopics should be put to bed. And then Kate delves into the origins of Labubus, and unravels whether they signify the latest evidence that Eastern culture is booming while American culture is deep in its flop era.Please continue to follow the Culture Pigs on IG and TikTok (@culturepigs), and like, share, comment, rate, etc. It helps us defeat the algorithm!
