Summary
To celebrate our latest Dollhouse cover girl, Bodies Bodies Bodies star Rachel Sennott (read here!), we're discussing gen z representation in film and tv. Many of this summer's big cinematic releases are geared towards gen z, from A24's aforementioned slasher to Hulu/Disney + Satire, Not Okay. With the Los Angeles times declaring these releases a 'major test' as to whether Hollywood can accurately represent the generation, we're weighing in. Are these films accurate, and entertaining? Or are millennial and Gen X directors misrepresenting young people? Tune in to hear our thoughts.
