Debbie Jellinsky is the gold-digging, murderous, glamorous, Black Widow in Addams Family Values who when Fester says gimme a kiss, she says gimme a 20. Today, we honour her legacy.
In this episode, I explore Addams Family Values (1993) and its portrayal of achieving one’s identity through consumption.
I talk about:
Debbie Jellinsky’s origin story
How Debbie never felt understood by her parents and sought to fill this void through consumer items
What the consumption habits of adolescents reveal about their values and aspirations
How companies cash in on our emotions
How increased emotional awareness can reduce emotional spending
How the devil tarot card shows the trap of attempting to find fulfillment through possessions
