63: We Are People 1

Media Archetypes and Queen Latifah Career Path

The hosts discuss how Hollywood uses "character archetypes" to progress social narratives over decades. They trace Queen Latifah's career from a positive rapper to a feminist in "House Party 2," a magazine owner in "Living Single," and finally "The Equalizer." They also mention Elizabeth Berkley's transition from the "smart girl" on "Saved by the Bell" to a stripper in "Showgirls" as a planned cultural shift.
