01. It's Raining Teens with Aliza Kelly
July 2003. Vanity Fair releases an issue with ten shimmery starlets on its cover and declares "It's Totally Raining Teens!" Inside, 28 of Hollywood's youngest up and comers are each given a pop quiz, subjected to the gaze of boomer culture critic James Wolcott, and photographed in a variety of extremely awkward and uncomfortable poses. Our first episode goes into what this issue tells us about what the world thought of millennials as we came of age and who, as teenagers, we were expected to be.
