On this episode of Paid in Puke Podcast, we’re rummaging through Sofia Coppola‘s 2013 true crime drama, “The Bling Ring”, starring Emma Watson, Katie Chang, Taissa Farmiga, Claire Julian, Leslie Mann, and Israel Broussard. Coppola based the script on Nancy Jo Sales’ 2010 Vanity Fair article, “The Suspects Wore Louboutins”. Our returning guest is the Sparkle Queen known as Laura Lawrence (“9 to 5”). Laura has has seen the film many times, jammed out to the soundtrack many MORE times, and brings a shopping bag full of fun facts.
We also get into the film’s prescience for today’s influencer culture, and why kids are less inclined to aspire to landing “a good job”. On the Lunchtime Poll, we reveal the things we have in such abundance, we might not notice getting robbed.
While there’s truth to the notion that fans make the stars, celebrities are still human beings. They don’t deserve to be treated like a commodity. We may feel that we know them, but they don’t know us.
