WitchTok to the Oscars: And the Strange New Era of Timothée Chalamet
from The WHO Group Chat · host WHO
In this episode, WHO's editor Lyndsey Rodrigues and Entertainment Editor Celia Whitley kick off with awards season reaching its final act, and the group chat has notes. This week, we’re diving headfirst into the beautiful chaos that happens right before the Oscars: predictions, snubs, and the performances everyone is pretending they’ve already seen. Somewhere in the middle of it all sits Hollywood’s most intriguing leading man right now - Timothée Chalamet, whose reputation as an artsy, slightly aloof indie darling is suddenly colliding with a very public pop-culture moment where he's been offending everyone from Opera singers to the ballet. What's a man to do to salvage that reputation...if in doubt, call a Kardashian. Is he still the poetic, cigarette-smoking film nerd?Or is he entering his blockbuster, Kylie adjacent, internet era villain arc? You decide in the chat. We unpack it all. But that’s just the beginning. Moments you'll hear: We review the gothic fever dream that is The Bride and whether it lives up to the hype. Tom Holland and Zendaya's secret wedding. We discuss the growing celebrity trend of extreme privacy secret weddings, silent relationships, and stars deciding what they don’t owe the public. And finally: Witches. BRING. IT. ON. Specifically, the rise of the modern witch and the wildly popular corner of the internet known as WitchTok, where tarot, moon rituals, manifestation and aesthetic chaos are suddenly very mainstream. The group chat has thoughts. Obviously. Listen now and bring your own opinions!
