<p><strong>In which </strong><a href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/authors/kylie-kleinnixon"><strong>Kylie Klein-Nixon</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/authors/emily-brookes"><strong>Emily Brookes</strong></a><strong> discuss the Netflix series </strong><strong>Hollywood</strong><strong> and dig deep into the camp confection that is Ryan Murphy’s filmography.</strong></p> <p><strong>*</strong></p> <p><strong>Hollywood in the late 1940s: Glitz and glamour, big studios and tiny waists, beautiful women, handsome men - and racism, sexism, and homophobia in spades.</strong></p> <p><strong>That’s the basic gist of Ryan Murphy’s new Netflix series </strong><strong>Hollywood</strong><strong>, an impeccably elegant period piece about a group of beautiful young aspiring actors and filmmakers in the post-war US who face all kinds of ingrained societal hurdles as they fight to realise their dreams.</strong></p> <p><strong>It’s Ryan Murphy, he of </strong><strong>Popular, Nip/Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story, Feud, Pose, The Politican</strong><strong> and much more, so this show is as stylish as</strong><a href="https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/gallery/best-dressed-men-2020?image=5ddea38964857c0008aaab50"><u><strong> Timothee Chalamet</strong></u></a><strong> (spoiler: he’s #1) and as camp as a rear field on the second day of Glastonbury.</strong></p> <p><strong>But is it any good?</strong></p> <p><strong>The answer to that question might depend on how high your threshold is for fix-it revisionist history in which spunk and gumption is enough to overcome biases so ingrained that they continue to make headlines today; ours, it turns out, is pretty low.</strong></p> <p><strong>Join Kylie and Emily for a romp through Ryan Murphy’s back catalogue, confessions about our teenage years and our thoughts on when Hollywood does Hollywood well, and when it doesn’t.</strong></p> <p><strong>*</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.netflix.com/search?q=hollywood"><u><strong>Hollywood</strong></u></a><strong> is streaming in its entirety on Netflix, so go watch and tell us if we’re totally wrong.</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/"><u><strong>You Must Remember This</strong></u></a><strong> is Karina Longworth’s glorious podcast about Hollywood’s forgotten history.</strong></p> <p><strong>Kenneth Anger’s controversial </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Babylon-Legendary-Underground-Hollywoods/dp/0440153255"><u><strong>Hollywood Babylon</strong></u></a><strong> covers some of the same ground as </strong><strong>Hollywood</strong><strong>, but in a very different way.</strong></p> <p><strong>Watch the Coen Brothers’ under-rated</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMqeoW3XRa0"><u><strong> </strong></u><u><strong>Hail Caesar</strong></u></a><strong> </strong><strong>and imagine Kylie tucked up next to a giant butt.</strong></p>

Episode 12, or “The podcast on the front lawn halfway down Dominion Rd”
<p><strong>In which content-hungry fangirls </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KylieKleinNixonJournalist/"><strong>Kylie Klein-Nixon</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/emily.brookes.528"><strong>Emily Brookes</strong></a><strong> discuss the </strong><strong>almost</strong><strong> entirely delightful covid-19 phenomenon of candid celebrity videos - not commissioned, not paid, not sponcon - just famous people being themselves and bringing a little joy to the world.</strong></p> <p><strong>*<br> Have you ever imagined what it would be like if one of your favourite musicians played a private concert just for you? Or one of the best shows of all time reunited and sent you a special one-off episode? Or an actor you adore and no you don’t have daddy issues made you a negroni?</strong></p> <p><strong>Kylie and Emily don’t have to, because all of that and more has happened to them in the last few weeks!</strong></p> <p><strong>Of course, this stuff didn’t exactly happen only to us. Thousands tuned in to watch Don McGlashan play his two ANZAC Day gigs on Facebook Live, while Stanley Tucci’s video of himself making a cocktail (for, we admit, his wife) has clocked up over 800,000 views on Instagram, but there’s something about the intimacy of celebrities just doing something they love in their homes, and pinging it straight into our homes, that we really love.</strong></p> <p><strong>Florence Pugh cooks! </strong><strong>The Goonies </strong><strong>and </strong><strong>Outrageous Fortune</strong><strong> reunite! John Krasinski has an ugly globe! These guys are getting lockdown celebrity content so, so right and we’re here to talk about it.</strong></p> <p><strong>Not everyone is, though (ahem Gal Gadot ahem) - we’re talking about that too.</strong></p> <p><strong>Join us to find out which celebrity’s house we most want to move into, which celebrity’s family we most want to be adopted into, and which celebrity we deem “New Zealand’s favourite uncle.”</strong></p> <p><strong>*<br> Don McGlashan - he of Blam Blam Blam The Front Lawn, The Mutton Birds, and our hearts - </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/don.mcglashan/videos/2451873351791258/"><strong>performed two Facebook Live concerts in honour of ANZAC Day</strong></a><strong>. He played again today, and will performa agin on Sunday morning at 7am.</strong></p> <p><strong>Stanley Tucci </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_NkcbTgVfy/"><strong>wants to make you a negroni. </strong></a></p> <p><strong>And, in her stories highlights, Florence Pugh </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/florencepugh/"><strong>wants to teach you how to cook some simple and tasty food</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p> <p><strong>John Krasinski </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5pgG1M_h_U"><strong>has some good news for you</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p> <p><strong>Sam Neill </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B-17pjZn-30/"><strong>is a national treasure</strong></a><strong>. </strong></p> <p><strong>And Dita von Teese </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHyIOIstYRA"><strong>has one hell of a house</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p> <p><strong>Finally, if you really must… Here’s </strong><a href=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHyIOIstYRA"><strong>Gal Gadot and a bunch of other celebrities being totally tone-deaf, in every way imaginable</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

"Do you wanna build a podcast?"
<p>It was early in 2020, before the pandemic, back when life was less like an episode of The Walking Dead and more like, you know... Gossip Girl meets Shortland Street meets 30 Rock. A couple of Entertainment and lifestyle journalists hatched a plan... </p>
