Send us a text Rhea is back and she's just in time to join Angelo and Jay for a discussion about the latest developments in the Warner Brothers saga.

Send us a text We open with the headline everyone’s talking about: Saturday Night Live host Sabrina Carpenter dropping not one but two F-bombs during her performance. Was it an accident—or marketing genius? The crew recalls when saying that word on air could end your career (see: Charles Rocket, 1980) and marvels at how little anyone seems to care now. That morphs into a look back at TV’s most shocking live moments, including the Bud Dwyer tragedy, and a reminder that some things on televisio...

2025/10/16

Send us a text A moment that’s been 180 episodes in the making: the entire crew finally recording in person. We start the show with a heartfelt discussion about the passing of Diane Keaton, whose legacy sparks both nostalgia and debate. From Annie Hall to Baby Boom to Something’s Gotta Give, the crew unpacks what made her such an everywoman icon. Would a “modern Diane Keaton” even be possible in an era of Botox and CGI storytelling? We then pivot to something far less wholesome.... Jared Leto...

2025/10/09

Send us a text We start the show by breaking down Taylor Swift’s box office takeover. Her new concert film pulled in over $33 million this weekend—crushing The Rock’s Smashing Machine and proving, once again, that Swifties might just be single-handedly keeping theaters alive. But is this really the path to saving cinema, or is it a one-off Taylor phenomenon? This leads us into a larger discussion on whether event-style experiences—like Barbenheimer—are the only way to get people off the couch...

Send us a text We start the show by giving our thoughts on HBO’s ‘Task’. From the same creators of “Mayor of Kingstown’, how do feel it matches up against the long running HBO franchise?

Emmys recap, Paramount might buy Warner Bros, and MORE

2025/09/18

Send us a text We start by giving our thoughts on the Emmys. The ‘The Studio’ wins big on Sunday night. What made this show perform so well? As a show that highlights show business, is this an example of "navel gazing" or something more. Then….. Nate Bargatze did not prep for the big night. Do we agree with this? Do we think he was a good choice to be host? What were our thoughts on the acceptance speeches at the Emmys? We break down everything from the timer to the role of politics in the sp...
