    178: Kids on Cocaine, Bisexual Young Women and Other Cultural Taboos—A Review of the Film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies (Madeline Grace)
    Feb 21 2026

    Maddy is back to talk about the film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies from 2022, a cool, thriller-horror film that plays on the generational zeitgeist of Gen Z. We talk about how the film reflects cultural fears, cultural fetishes, and unspeakable taboos, and how it keeps us all engaged by appealing to our preexisting cultural stereotypes, our natural reaction to protect certain groups of people while fearing others, and a generational gap that has many Gen Zers stuck on their phones living a life that's fake, digital, and maybe where we are all headed in the future.

This podcast reveals the prison industrial system as it truly is. Imperative information for any person who really wants to understand the dynamics of our criminal Justice system and all those involved benefiting from the current system as it stands. I challenge each person to research the facts given for oneself so that you may become educated and as a society work towards creating systems that actually work for a revolution that insists upon change. Contacting our governors are not enough to create change these days, we must rally, comprehend and communicate while creating agencies that actually focus on change, banishing racism, bigotry, and the big money invested in keeping things the way they currently are. We all know that our current systems do not work, the war on drugs is a bust brought on by fear, racism, and propaganda. If we do not begin embarking upon higher consciousness when dealing with addicts and the truth of the prison- industry farse, we will continue to repeat history allowing countless lives to be lost, incarceration of innocent individuals , racism, and billions of dollars being used each year to be pocketed into institutions that have no intention of changing their perspectives, looking at other countries that have created programs that have been scientifically proven to work. Understanding that there are an enormous amount of people and careers on the line should we revolutionize our way of being, which inhibits progression is invaluable. Creating careers in which individuals can assist those found in compromising circumstances dissolving the prison industrialization should be of primary focus.
