Ever wondered what it's really like to grow up competing for a billionaire media or music empire? Or how the "perfect" family sitcoms of the 90s shaped our real-world sibling expectations?
Welcome back to the second part of Catherine Carr’s conversation with Kemi Alemoru, acclaimed journalist and Head of Editorial Content at Glamour UK. They are still unpacking the siblings we’ve watched on TV, in Music, and popular culture.
Catherine and Kemi share their mutual love of TV’s most toxic family, the Roys from Succession where the siblings trauma-bond after surviving a domineering father. They dissect the "eldest boy" syndrome, and the constant, exhausting battle for their parent's affection and empire.
They also discuss The Jacksons, and their impact as a family and musical geniuses. Kemi shares how the shiny, aspirational family units presented in classic sitcoms like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and My Wife and Kids provided a crucial blueprint for her own upbringing.
And they touch on other cult siblings, the Bennet sisters from Pride and Prejudice and the dysfunctional dynamics of Arrested Development.
This is a sharp, insightful, and totally riveting conversation about the pop culture siblings we love to analyse, and the real-life family roles we can't escape.
If this one hit home, share it with your siblings.
