    Baby Botox

    People have been trying to reverse the effects of aging since ancient times, and bored rich people have been trying to live forever since, well…forever. But historically the practice has been targeted to people who are actually “aged.” So how did we go from Jane Fonda selling us miracle creams, to retinols marketed towards actual children? As the anti-aging “cosmeceuticals” market explodes before our very eyes, children overrun our locals Sephoras, and millionaires inject litres of their progeny’s blood - it seems the beauty industry has tapped into our collective, all-consuming fear of death, and exploited it to the very last drop. In this episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the emergence of cosmeceuticals and anti-aging “prejuvenation” procedures (preventative botox, morning shed routines, and the retinol epidemic), and their dastardly effects on the human psyche. Tangents include: neighbourly etiquette, Canadian pride, and crying in public.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic SOURCES: Charlotte Cripps, “The rise of the skincare tweens: How retinol serums and eye creams took over childhood,” The Independent (2025).

    Kibbe Body Types

    From the man who introduced self love, and even “love itself,” to the beauty and fashion industries, David Kibbe, comes a scale which can determine the very essence of a person using the scientific measurements of “bones big, bones small.” The Kibbe Body Type test came about during the self-help era of the 1980s, but has found new life online, as people rush to sort themselves into arbitrary physical categories. Is Kibbe water for lost souls wandering through the late capitalist desert, or simply a mirage, revealing how little we trust ourselves today? Tangents include: Mrs. Incredible’s Kibbe body type, Marlon Brando smashing every eligible bachelor in Hollywood, and the worst episode of Sex and the City.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic Our Sponsors: * Check out Mood and use our code REHASH for a great deal: https://mood.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

    Looksmaxxing

    Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, but rather in the eyes of 500 sl*ts who hold all society’s power and privileges. At least, according to incels. In this episode, Hannah and Maia revisit the loneliest, angriest corners of the internet to explore “looksmaxxing” - a hot wheels-style rebrand of the “glow up”, replete with internet jargon and pseudo-science and a brand new name to make it palatable for men. Birthed deep in the forums of PUAhate, Sluthate, and 4chan, looksmaxxing began as a way for incels to optimize their looks and ascend their social status. But now, it’s everywhere. The looksmax subreddit is rife with people of all genders commenting stuff like “you’re beautiful love 3” and naturally occurring TikTok Chads making a living as “looksmaxxing influencers”. What the hell happened here, and why? Tangents include: Maia seeing Addison Rae on the street, and Hannah and Maia being really annoying during DND.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic SOURCES: Joseph Bernstein, “Young Men Seek Answers to an Age-Old Question: How to Be Hot,” The New York Times (2023).

    Skinnytok

    Liv Schmidt is a 24-year-old “health and wellness” coach who puts a populist spin on pro-ana content! She’s loud, rude, and ready to take our feeds by storm one almond at a time. Schmidt’s “skinnytok” movement wasn’t built in a day - she is in fact only a messenger for the larger trend of online diet culture that has resurfaced in the past couple years. In a time where Ozempic ads line the subways, Lana Del Rey stans host parties celebrating her new waifish figure, and friends at the dinner table nonchalantly profess their desire to lose weight - one must wonder how exactly it came to this. In this episode, Hannah and Maia ask, when and why did we all stop pretending to be thinking about anything other than one thing: skinny? Tangents include: Hannah being two small people inside a big tweed coat, and Maia’s peanut butter coated bedtime banana.

    Mar-A-Lago Face (ft. Biz Sherbert)

    The faces of women in the Republican Party have changed drastically, and people have noticed. As the likes of Kristy Noem and Kimberly Guilfoyle become ever-pouchier, pouty-lipped, and blown out in the short time since Trump took office, the internet has been in a frenzy. Some, including plastic surgeons themselves, have suspected these women of getting cosmetic work done to get in Trump’s good graces. Others have suspected this botchedness to be intentional, that they’re deliberately “polluting other people’s field of vision” in an act of contempt. But are they? In this season 7 premiere, Hannah and Maia are joined by Biz Sherbert (of Nymphet Alumni) to discuss the many ways that beauty is absorbed into the never-ending culture war of our times. From “Republican makeup tutorials” on TikTok, to the widespread confusion around a chic Republican girl on the cover of New York Mag, it seems everyone is doing a whole lot of externalizing at a time when introspection is more necessary than ever.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic Biz's article: https://www.anothermag.com/fashion-beauty/16218/what-does-beauty-look-like-in-the-trump-era-anna-claire-howland-addison-rae SOURCES: Brock Colyar, “The Cruel Kids’ Table,” New York Magazine (2025).

    K-pop Stans (teaser)

    Ever since Seo Taiji and Boys broke onto the scene in their baggy overalls back in 1992, Korea has been working to cast as wide a cultural net as possible on the world stage. And, by placing young talent through rigorous game show incubators and pumping out dozens of attractive, talented, and universally appealing musical artists, they succeeded. With the meteoric rise of groups like BTS and Blackpink, K-Pop now had a hoard of die-hard fans in the West - a cross-cultural exchange to challenge Beatlemania. In this bonus episode, Hannah and Maia talk about K-Pop stans, who have become some of the loudest voices on the internet, and often use those voices for good. But when the conservative K-Pop industry subjects its artists to unprecedented levels of public scrutiny and input, and leaves them at the whims of a rabid global audience, can it spawn a new, dangerous form of parasocialism that we may never come back from? Tangents include an incredibly sophisticated T-Pain impression, and the tragically overlooked Lonely Island cinematic masterpiece, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.  FULL episode can be found on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/rehashpodcast Our Sponsors: * Check out Mood and use our code REHASH for a great deal: https://mood.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

    Hypebeasts (teaser)

    Who said men can’t have hobbies? The world certainly did a few years ago, when hypebeasts seemed to dominate every sidewalk of every shopping district in just about every city around the world. When brands like BAPE and Supreme popularized the limited drop sales model in the 2010s, they inadvertently spawned a breed of man whose entire life seemed to depend on “copping” the latest and most overpriced streetwear. But jump to today, and the hypebeast is nowhere to be found. Did he shrink away out of shame, or did he simply evolve into a new, more advanced specimen (the dreaded Grailed reseller)? In this bonus episode, Hannah and Maia wonder whether we were too hard on the hypebeasts, if they really killed counterculture, and if there’s room for them in today’s world. Tangents include: hating on The Bear, paying extra for that sweet sweet Fiji water, and the beauty of Bella Hadid’s ill-fated experience at Kith.  FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/posts/122999483 Our Sponsors: * Check out Mood and use our code REHASH for a great deal: https://mood.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

  8. Homesteaders

    27 JAN

    Homesteaders

    Nate Petroski is an off-the-grid recluse who has a girlfriend he met online, millions of fans all across the country, and a bespoke beard-oil brand. Something isn’t adding up here. In this finale episode, Hannah and Maia step into the wilderness of the internet’s very own homesteading community. These influencers make a living documenting their alternative, self-sufficient lifestyles. And, in an increasingly volatile political and economic climate that has many people wishing to go back to basics, it’s extremely lucrative. But is being an internet influencer antithetical to the tenets of off-grid living? Or does it make it more community-oriented than the lifestyle allows? Listen to find out! Tangents include: a divisive Oscars season, Hannah becoming a female pickup artist, and the perplexing contradictions of AmishTok.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic Our Sponsors: * Check out Mood and use our code REHASH for a great deal: https://mood.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
