Reviewing receipts from Justin Baldoni's lawsuit that allege Blake Lively's goal was always to assert ultimate creative control over his movie, "It Ends With Us". Through text messages, emails, and voice notes, we're presented with a behind the scenes view into the unorthodox power dynamic between director/actress/lead co-stars. Through communications spanning the entire production, we read along as they navigate an awkward tug of war over wardrobe, script writing, directing, and editing decisions -

Now that Justin Baldoni filed his countersuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and her PR firm, I cross referenced his own allegations and explanations against her original complaint to see what claims have and haven't been addressed. While a few things seem to have been negated, the majority remain unanswered or left to interpretation of two differing perceptions. This pod focuses solely on her claim, and his defense, of sexual harassment while working on the movie. Upcoming pods

Let's end a hellish week by recapping Part 1 of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion. The topics hit hard and fast when they start coming but most don't get to a full resolution before things devolve into yelling and nonsense. Still, Andy manages to ask about: if Whitney gets her jewelry from ALIBABAAAHHH, the status of Angie and Lisa in light of the "bad mom" comment, where Bronwyn and Lisa stand considering a startling rumor Lisa mentioned on the Bravo Aftershow, and Heather's

What better way to decompress from a week of chaos and unrest than to watch a woman with more Birkins than sense dramatically lament a situation she created? How dare people take issue with Kyle seemingly pledging loyalty to a friend's estranged husband? All that while continuing to refer to herself as a "girl's girl" makes for quite the journey into madness. Thankfully, Dorit 2.0 continues to reject BS like last season's shoes, Boze has a beautiful backyard AND Dorit's back, Erika placates both

On MLK Day, in a mad world, lets talk about two women-centered films. Final thoughts of the 'Martha' documentary on Netflix and then Demi Moore's stellar performance in 'The Substance', as well as the lessons we can glean from both. Also, hold my hand as I rant about the much hyped TikTok ban that wasn't and worrisome censorship that appears to be popping up across social media platforms.

This extended version of the episode was truly a hilling experience. I laughed, I cried, I critiqued. Breaking the fourth wall, throwing flowers, nip slips, cheap wigs, walk-offs, wild allegations, and claims of stagnant sales for Wild Rose - the finale has it ALL. This episode could provide an entire season's worth of content for other RH franchises. It's a journey of friendship, conflict, loyalty, and betrayal.All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or

After a measured rant on the tragedy that is the American government catering to the whims of a bug eyed bro with $8M to spend on lobbying to get his way, we recap two episodes of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In episode six, Dorit confronts Kyle about her innocent meme laden texts with PK, Kyle doubles down on the silliness of her caring after not caring previously and the innocent nature of the texts. Then in episode 7, Kyle reads a text she sent to PK and the ladies realize it's more than

Another iconic Real Housewives of Salt Lake City episode that solidifies the sprinter van as THE best of all possible filming locations on any franchise. Nothing brings a divided group together like a common enemy, and that enemy swinging and missing on every excuse, accusation, and attempt to fight back makes for a legendarily cringe experience. Up against a new foe, Meredith is in rare form and slips into paranoia, Heather vacillates between emotional support and lecturing, Lisa feels betrayed,

It finally happened, I watched the movie that spurned all the lawsuits and drama - and I have thoughts. A review the rom-dramedy? in the spirit of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and thoughts and research into the various distracting derelict lewks and random designer labels. From the acting to the dialogue, and the plot to the set design, the creative choices were all noticed and noted.

The conclusion of Justin Baldoni's jam packed lawsuit against the New York Times that covers a pile of alleged inaccuracies from their article regarding a "smear campaign" against Blake Lively. Full text message exchanges between Justin's team seem to present a different reality from the vindictive scenarios outlined in Blake's complaint. Justin's version tells a story of his small production house being blindsided and strong-armed into submission by a powerful celebrity couple. Multiple things can

Justin Baldoni files an 87 page lawsuit against the New York Times, this episode reviews contradictions from statements made in Blake Lively's complaint. His perspective seems to be that she held something over Wayfarer as a bargaining chip of sorts to get her way, and that he and his team agreed to her escalating demands to keep the peace. They appear to frame her allegations as a means to regain positive public image that they state was not damaged by a "smear campaign" but rather her own tone

Review and recommendations of Netflix's 6-part series, 'Black Doves', and the Caroline Lindy's indie film, "Your Monster". Keira Knightly morphs into a super spy with impressive fighting skills and a comedic relief spy best friend in a series that I thought rivaled any action movie in recent years. Then, Melissa Bererra gives an outstanding performance as a young woman dealing with a pile of disappointments and challenges amidst a backdrop of musical theater and fantasy.

Enlightening information is shared via actual text messages that seem to make clear why Justin's messaging and behavior during the launch of the movie was so very different from the rest of the cast. Text messages between his PR and crisis comms team detail the lengths famous people can go to when focused on maintaining or building a positive persona - or working to

Once in Puerto Vallarta, Lisa's meticulous planning backfires when Bronwyn feels slighted by her room assignment - as Britani feels emboldened by hers.
