Hey Weed Whackers! Welcome back to another Pop Culture Archives episode of She's in the Weeds where we dive into some of our favorite movies, people, crazes, and pop culture moments of yesteryear. Today's episode is all about the Clinton Lewinsky affair and how Monica Lewinsky became our generation's most notorious scandal figure. First, Hollis gives us a recap of Monica's new podcast Reclaiming which gave her the idea for the episode and then the girls are diving right into what they remember from 1998. Next they're making some revelations about things they either didn't remember or perhaps never even knew when it was happening in real time. Sam was 12 and Hollis was 10 in 1998 so it was time to rewind and reexamine everything with adult eyes and ears. The sheer magnitude of the scandal and it's far reaching implications are still hard to believe even 27 years later and Monica's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. The girls discuss how the media portrayed her and some theories on how certain narratives came to be. They'll be getting in the weeds with details from media clips, interviews, documentaries, podcasts, and of course their own opinions on it all. They'll be examining her perspective of the story and how some of the narratives surrounding it have shifted in a post me too culture. Finally they'll be sharing some other allegations surrounding Bill Clinton and thoughts on how a scandal like this would play out in today's society and media. Meet you in the weeds!
