  • the ethics of true crime
    Jul 8 2025

    When adapting a novel into a film or TV show, the creative team may add new details or create fictional characters to enhance the story. But, what if the film is based on a real serial killer? What if they cast a conventionally attractive lead actor? In episode 96 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna dive into true-crime content and the ethics behind this niche. With the rise of true-crime podcasts and serial killer TV shows, they felt it was necessary to discuss the gray area between a fictional drama and a very real, cold-blooded murder. Enzo and Anna also analyze graphic video games, the use of blood & gore for entertainment, and the overall impact of desensitizing violence. Finally, they mention the problematic acts of profiting from traumatic events and the unsettling label of a “crime-junkie.”

  • "what do you want to be when you grow up?"
    Jul 1 2025

    Have you ever been asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Perhaps your answer remains the same, or maybe your dream job has undergone a complete transformation over the years. For episode 95 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna reflect on this question and discuss the possible consequences of teaching kids to choose a specific career to view as an endpoint. In typical Telepathy fashion, they turn to La La Land to reveal the most valuable life lessons. Why is giving up on our dreams often considered a part of “growing up?” Enzo explains how following your passions or a creative pursuit can be a privilege in a world where we must find careers that allow for a stable financial life. Anna also opens up about her graphic design origin story and how she hopes to grow as a creator in the professional world.

  • feminism in pop music
    Jun 24 2025

    For episode 94 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna decide to rebrand for season 3 with a new layout and cover! Speaking of cover…Enzo and Anna decided it was time to discuss Sabrina Carpenter’s new album artwork. Her 7th studio album references the concept of a “Man’s Best Friend,” meaning a man and his dog (?). As usual, the internet got bored, so they decided to debate whether Sabrina Carpenter is making an artistic choice for a conceptual album or if she is setting feminism back “many years.” Enzo and Anna analyze feminism in pop music, exploring its evolution and the standards to which pop artists should be held. They talk about how many women in music are highly scrutinized for creativity and how an era of “literalism” may be on the rise.

  • propaganda we're not falling for....
    May 27 2025

    For episode 91, Enzo and Anna are fashionably late to the "propaganda we're not falling for" trend. Instead of a fifteen-second TikTok, they need forty-five minutes to fully elaborate on their various opinions. Enzo discusses everything from McDonald's to the Dyson Air Wrap, while Anna covers caffeinated coffee all the way to an excessive skincare routine. As a bonus, Telepathy gives the fans a long-awaited explanation as to why they skipped the past two weeks (SORRY LOL).

  • we love addison rae but not benson boone (visual identities in the music industry)
    Apr 29 2025

    In episode 89 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna analyze the importance of having a "visual identity" in Hollywood and the music industry. They reference newer artists, such as Addison Rae, who has successfully been following the early 2000s popstar blueprint to a T. On the contrary, Enzo and Anna feel a disconnect in Benson Boone's artistry as his music doesn't seem to align with his new American-flag-country-singer-Morgan-Wallen-esque album cover. Telepathy also discusses legacy artists who have struggled to rebrand throughout their careers. They mention the double standard as many female popstars are expected to drastically take on new identities in their career, despite women running pop...
