I interviewed film critic @aduralde.bsky.social about his book, HOLLYWOOD PRIDE! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

We talk BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, gay marriage, and what happened when Claudette Colbert and Marlene Dietrich were photographed having too much fun at Carole Lombard's birthday party 👀

Jenny Mushkin Goldman was 17 when anti-abortion protestors ambushed her high school in 1999. Over two decades later, she recounted these events with me, in a timely examination of protest, radicalization, and the long undoing of Roe v. Wade.

So far the one guy is out-talking the other guy, which is not a good sign.

In TOXIC, Sarah writes, "…tearing these women to pieces was both a social activity and a form of divination. In the entrails of their reputations, we hunted for clues about what a woman ought to be…"

Sarah Ditum's book, TOXIC, is a scathing reexamination of the lives of nine female celebrities (including Britney, Paris, and Lindsay), and how Y2K-era blogs and tabloids shaped the way we see ourselves, our bodies, and our lives. soundcloud.com/teenpeoplepod/sarah-ditum-toxic

I wrote what is perhaps the first scholarly essay on the 12-foot skeleton:

"For the low, low price of $299.00 USD / $398.00 CAD, the 12-foot skeleton will give your home a gothic aesthetic on the scale of an eighteenth-century folly." niche-canada.org/2023/10/31/f...

As a teen, James Frankie Thomas modelled a prom dress in a 2004 issue of TEEN PEOPLE. Now, he's the author of a compelling novel, IDLEWILD. Set in Manhattan in the early 2000s, IDLEWILD is told through narration, fanfic, DMs, lists and stage direction. More: soundcloud.com/teenpeoplepod/jamesfthomas

When Heather (not her real name) was in Teen People in 2005, she described how coming out changed her life. The article stayed with Resi Ibañez for years, so they reached out to me to see whether I could track it down for them. Was I successful? Find out: soundcloud.com/teenpeoplepod/resi-ibanez

Tomorrow (02/20) on Teen People podcast: Sarah Ditum speaks with me about her new book, TOXIC, a scathing reexamination of celebrity culture in the 2000s; the reign of Perez Hilton, celebrity sex tapes, and tabloids fed by paparazzi who'd do anything to get the shot.

In 2001, Ryan (age 6), cried when his mother took him on a spooky hayride for Halloween.

In 2020, Marie (age 46), cried in a Home Depot when she learned they had sold their last 12-foot skeleton.

Who had George W. Bush, Al Gore and Teen People magazine on their Y2K bingo card? Padraic Maroney is a writer and former Teen People intern. He told me about the time Teen People tried to bring Bush and Gore together to debate youth issues on live TV during the 2000 election! Did it work? Nope.

I honestly cannot wait for the fiction that's going to come out of this era. Who is/will be our generation's Douglas Coupland?
