Tyra Banks Gets an 'Americas Next Top Model' Reality Check

from Pop Culture Junkie® · host Pop Culture Junkie

Like so many millennials, Shauna and Olivia binged the reality competition show America's Next Top Model at an impressionable age, taking in some decidedly mixed messages along with the makeover montages and lessons in walking a runway. The Junkies discuss what they learned from Netflix's docuseries Reality Check, which took a hard look at the show, and discuss the show's legacy, and how a show about training aspiring models became better known for its human rights violations, asking who, if anyone, is holding themselves accountable for that.We have affordable and rewarding Patreon tiers!
