Not enough has already been said about web series ZHE ZHE, which is just starting to release episodes from the highly anticipated second season. The series is based around the contentious relationships of three band-mates, who are magnificently dressed, loudly expressed, and desperate for any foothold of fame in a drippy and stupidly chic New York City. ZHE ZHE (made up of Jean DArc, Mona DeLisa, and the double-crossing Chewy Swindleborne) is clawing for space in an environment where culture is already buried deep in debt to itself.
The line between satire and sincere documentation is wonderfully hard to measure, echoing the humor of Casey Jane Ellison and incinerating the year-old question "Why is Millennial Humor so Weird?" If anything, since being released in 2014, the laugh-lines of ZHE ZHE have materialized as a new thrilling n chilling reality. Chewy Swindleborne is selling her inflated body for cultural export to Dubai, and four years later her cheap Ameri-can-a could be exclusively bought in Ethereum from an AI assistant. Perhaps the biggest cultural shift since the release of ZHE ZHE is the open space created after the fall of Lena Dunham, which thankfully opened up the floor to web series featuring characters that are not white or from New York City.
Spectacle is also hosting some members of the cast of ZHE ZHE: Ruby McCollister, Emily Allen, and Leah Hennessey, for some of these May screenings. Read some more about the series:
