Hii! WELCOME BACK! We apologize for our ~short hiatus~. We had a video file COMPLETELY corrupt and destroy an entire video :( This week on SYS we are diving into the Rise & Demise of Kylie Cosmetics, and the entirety of the Kardashian/Jenner brand. 5 years ago, the name "Kylie Jenner" was synonymous with internet fame.

**THIS EPISODE IS 95% SPOILER FREE** (minor details discussed but no major plot lines revealed) Welcome back to the SYS podcast! This week we are diving into the world of Dune 2, and why we believe it to be one of the greatest sci-fi stories ever told. Great story telling always boils down to one thing. "How are you able to connect with an audience?" The magic of Dune is exactly that. It is a story filled with symbolism and metaphor to mirror our modern age. Dune is filled with political...

Hello Beautiful, This week we wanted to discuss the concept of Creativity vs Commodity in Marketing. From Lana Del Rey for SKIMS, to Beyonce Superbowl, to the Hailey Bieber Rhode phone case-- so much of success is centered around being data driven. However, time and time again we see creativity and art is what really pushes the needle of internet culture. There have been so many fascinating campaigns lately it felt like the perfect time to go through them all and analyze why they went...

Welcome back to part 2 of "that was not on my 2023 BINGO card" and our FIRST episode of the new year!!! 🤪 Thank you all so much for the recent love and support and we could NOT be more excited to get back in the studio and start filming. 2023 was a year riddled with MANY firsts for the industry, some good and some bad, but I truly believe 2024 has the potneital to be a year that goes down to define music, movies, and internet culture for the next decade.

How many times did you say, "Wow, that was not on my 2023 bingo card" this year? We said it a couple times. From the TikTok senate hearing, to the Taylor Swift and Ice Spice collab, to Gwenyth Paltrow accidentally becoming relatable and Lizzo having the opposite problem. This was a weird year to be a celebrity. Enjoy the second to last episode of #ShareYourScreen of the year. Check back next Monday for our 2024 pop culture and marketing predictions.

Welcome back to Part 2 from our last video "The Sabrina Carpenter Effect" where we discussed the concept of overnight fame vs slow burns. Olivia Rodrigo is the perfect example of how sometimes you just have your moment, and your life can COMPLETELY change over night. We loved looking into the careers of these artists because it truIy proves there is no "right or wrong" path to success. We walk the path we are meant to, and it is beautiful to see how both of their careers have flourished over...

Is it better to become an overnight success or to build your craft when no one is looking? We dare to answer this question in this episode of #ShareYourScreen -- all about one of our new favorites, Sabrina Carpenter. While she has been in the public eye since she was 9 years old, herself has said that she is a "tortoise" and grown frustrated many times and how long it took for her music career to take off. Listen to her Variety Hitmakers speech here:...

It feels like just about every new release to come out of Hollywood in the past year has been some sort of "nostalgia-bait". When I was a teenager over a decade ago, we were enjoying things like Hunger Games, Mario, HSM, Gossip Girl, etc. Yet 10 years later, that is STILL all that is being released. It seems as if the industry has sacrificed this idea of creativity, originality and fostering new IP to ONLY greenlight projects when they are tied to a previously existing franchise....

Hi! I hope you enjoyed todays episode. It was a lot of fun to do the research and compile all the history of Youtube and its timeline as a platform. I have such love for the platform and I genuinely believe it has so much impact and has the potential to do good for the world when used correctly. There are SO many amazing Creators over the span of 2008-2023 it would have been impossible to have documented them all so I decided to hone in on the ones I felt most nostalgic about and meant the...

Today we are talking about the controversial movie, "Blair Witch Project". It still holds the Guinness World Record for most profitable movie compared to how much it cost to make. It is said to have made $11,000 for every $1. And yet the actors in the movie were only paid $8,000 and struggled to book gigs after the movie came out because the world genuinely thought they were missing.
