episode 21: Dazed Magazine (& Eternals/Pleasing!)
In episode 21, hosts Key (he/they) and Gray (he/him) dive into Harry’s new interview and photoshoot with Dazed Magazine. After briefly touching on Harry’s introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thanos’ sexy brother Eros (7:04), the drop of his new lifestyle brand, Pleasing (12:10), and a return to the tradition of clowning about HS3 (23:30), they get into a discussion about the Dazed interview and shoot.
Key and Gray first take a look at the Dazed interview conducted by Lynette Nylander (26:02), focusing in particular on Harry sharing some new information that leads into a discussion about Vogue week and public shaming.
They then move on to a conversation about the photoshoot, styled by Ib Kamara and photographed by Rafael Pavarotti (52:41). After discussing the creative sensibilities of Kamara and Pavarotti as well as the history of their collaboration, they move into an analysis of the photographs themselves. Listen to hear Key and Gray’s opinions on the iconic JP Gaultier photograph that the internet turned viral for all the wrong reasons, as well as a breakdown of all their fave looks from the shoot (1:14:33).
Finally they end the show with a chat about some non-Harry things that have brought them joy over the week (1:24:15).
