Part 13/17:
The conversation turns to Hollywood’s decline in artistic standards, with criticisms of actresses like Emily Blunt, who has undergone extensive Botox treatments, and the aesthetic choices in the Devil Wears Prada sequel. Brett criticizes the outfits as uninspired, frumpy, and lacking the glamour of the original film, which featured stylish, feminine attire that made a statement about beauty and empowerment.
The hosts also lament the trend of actors and actresses being pressured into unflattering or masculine clothing, calling it a woke attempt to devalue traditional standards of femininity. They see this as part of a broader cultural deconstruction movement, which promotes ugliness and mediocrity as a form of artistic rebellion—an insidious trend that erodes aesthetic standards.
