Hello friends. This week we head to Utah to discuss the entire second season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. We honestly need a week to recover from binging this show in such a short period of time. We cover it all - Taylor and Demi, Demi and Jen, Taylor and Dakota, Mikayla and Whitney, The Vanderpump Villa crossover and most importantly, we ask ourselves the question; will MomTok survive this? Then we head to New York to recap the Summer House finale. This is the last time we will ever talk about Jesse and Lexi, thank god. We get into production picking up cameras to film the aftermath of Paige and Craig’s breakup and we also discuss the future of Summer House. A Summer in the City spin off perhaps? Yes please.

Hi hi hi! Why are we talking about Blake Lively on the podcast again? A question we ask ourselves regularly really. Join us as we debrief what is allegedly going down between her and Taylor Swift. Did Blake really try to blackmail Taylor into releasing a public statement? Shit is getting messy! Then it’s time for Kim Kardashian’s latest courtroom cosplay. Her new show All’s Fair just dropped a trailer, and we’ve got thoughts. We also unpack Kim and Kris’ très chic trip to Paris this week, where they basically made the city their runway (totally forgot they were there for Kim’s trial). We then get into Lena Dunham’s new Netflix series Too Much which drops in July. We’re already obsessed. And finally, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 is back, and honestly we forgot how buckwild these gals are. It’s bringing the drama, the secrets, and more on the infamous swinging scandal.

1:05:17

Hello hello! It’s a juicy one this week and we have many thoughts, feelings and opinions to share with you guys. Firstly, the Jojo Siwa and Kath Ebbs breakup that has played out in real time in front of the entire world. We unpack the timeline, the TikToks, the interviews and why everyone seems emotionally invested in a relationship that was shorter than a PR campaign. We then discuss Blake Lively, who is doing the most right now. From delivering a Time100 speech to sitting down with Seth Meyers in her first interview since the Justin Baldoni drama… we’re split on how we feel because is it a PR strategy or something more genuine? Next, Travis Kelce has unfollowed Ryan Reynolds. Was it petty? Was it strategic? Was it Taylor Swift whispering into his ear? We discuss the theories and the bromance tension. Finally, we recap The Valley episodes two and three. This shit is dark. We discuss the Brittany and Jax of it all and the Michelle and Jesse of it all. Oh and Janet’s Dave and Busters birthday party. Sigh.

Strap in for a rogue episode about everything and nothing (what we do best really). We kick off by yapping about what we have been watching lately, before getting into the latest Oscars controversy. You’re telling us that members have been able to vote for films they haven’t even seen? For the last 97 years!!!? We then discuss Paige DeSorbo’s Watch What Happens Live appearance where she is super candid about how the breakup with Craig has affected her and her current success with Giggly Squad. At this rate, we are basically on their PR team because we are a tad obsessed with the Gigglers. Next we get into Tom Schwartz’s new podcast where he interviews Katie Maloney whilst micro dosing mushrooms. Their friendship has us feeling all the warm and fuzzies. Finally, we wrap up by yapping about manifesting and some film recommendations that may or may not include Woody Allen and Olivia Coleman.

Hello lovers. We’ve got a real mixed bag for you this week. First up, we’re talking about the biggest (and most ridiculous) story in pop culture right now - the girlies going into space, thanks to Jeff Bezos. We break down why the whole thing feels super out of touch (rich people doing rich people things, as usual) but hey, at least the memes were good. Then we get into SNL’s skit where they made fun of Aimee Lou Wood and how Aimee wasn’t having any of it (as she shouldn’t!). Leah also shares her deep concern over how Facetuned some of the Real Housewives are getting… like, they actually look younger than their own kids at this point. Calm down, Ramona! We also chat about The Valley season two premiere and why it’s making us feel so icky. The Jax energy is A LOT. And finally, we wrap things up with a little Summer House goss sesh. Jesse Solomon is the biggest F-boy of the house.

We also get into that rumoured feud between Walton Goggins and Amy Lou Wood. We then dig into the on-screen friendship between the three women and how it beautifully mirrors real-life female friendships. Carrie Coon should honestly win an Emmy for that monologue.

We also check out the trailer for Bravo’s new Gen Z reality series Next Gen NYC and share our first impressions.

We once again dissect the breakdown of Craig and Paige’s relationship and how they were clearly on completely different pages. Finally, we wrap up with a love letter to the one and only Gabby Windey.

Hi hi hi hi hi! This week we’re diving deep into Netflix’s much-criticised and long-anticipated series, With Love, Meghan. We unpack our feelings about the series, reflect on Meghan’s journey since parting ways with the Royals, and discuss the perfectly curated, Martha Stewart-esque image she’s trying to project to the world.
