Dispatches From The Kardashian Simulacrum: Is this Real Drama?

What stood out to you sisters? Fake drama on the show? Could they ever?There’s the relevance of incredibly empty and fluffy episodes when so much is happening outside of the show. A very tame Palm Springs for easter trip, some trouble in the grey gardens and it’s clearer than ever the show is just a bunch of scaffolding to shield the sisters from their reality. Kim tells the fam about her new role in AHS, there’s a humble brag - oh she loves taking on a challenge. Our sisters speculate on the impacts of the strike on Kim’s delivery of her new acting role and ultimately, why are we taking this at face value? Will there won’t there be a podcast? If there is, we’ll pick that up on the next episode of this podcast. See you there xxCatch up with season two of our Kardashian podcast series!
