    Looksmaxxing, Clavicular & Mogging, Explained

    From mewing to bone smashing to ranking people on something called the “sexual market value scale”, the internet has invented a whole new language around male attractiveness. It’s called looksmaxxing - a movement that started on incel forums and has since gone mainstream on TikTok. The idea is simple: if you can optimise your looks, you can optimise your life.In this episode Luce and Abby break down the world of looksmaxxing, the bizarre glossary that comes with it, and the rise of one of its most controversial figures: a teenage streamer known as Clavicular, who built an audience teaching other men how to “maxx” their appearance.We also talk about the strange irony at the heart of the movement - a culture obsessed with competing for women’s attention that has become almost entirely focused on judging other men.Articles mentioned:The New York Times articleThe New Yorker articleListen on Spotify here!Listen on Apple here!Watch on YouTube here!Subscribe to the Shit You Should Care About newsletter here!Join our Book Club here!Buy Make It Make Sense here!

    We Need To Talk About Wuthering Heights

    This week on the pod we dive into Wuthering Heights - both the 179-year-old novel and Emerald Fennell’s chaotic, glossy new adaptation that somehow got Abby and I lightly cancelled for… liking it.We start with the book. Abby found the opening chapters borderline unreadable, SparkNotes essential, and the characters hilariously bad at socialising. I, meanwhile, loved it. It felt like fantasy to me - dramatic, transportive, completely immersive.Then we split the film into two parts: “It’s not that deep” and “It is that deep.”On one hand - the costumes, the set design, Margot Robbie’s bratty Cathy, the toxic romance front and centre. It felt intoxicating and intentionally reimagined.On the other - casting choices matter. Heathcliff’s racial background in the novel is significant, and the decision to sidestep that raises real questions. We talk adaptation, fan outrage, Brontë purists, and why women directors are treated differently when they take creative risks.Listen on Spotify here!Listen on Apple here!Watch on YouTube here!Subscribe to the Shit You Should Care About newsletter here!Join our Book Club here!Buy Make It Make Sense here!
