    Real Housewives: Inside reality TV’s most powerful empire, with Laura Hensley

    This week, we’re diving deep into The Real Housewives as one of the most revealing pop-culture franchises of the past 20 years. While Sarah is away this week, Sadaf is joined by Housewives expert Laura Hensley (creator of the That’s My Opinion! newsletter) to break down why we’re obsessed. We get into how this empire kicked off, the beloved format from the taglines to reunions, the most memorable moments and breakout stars, and, of course, all the criticism: the alcohol consumption, the racial ickiness, the rampant crime. And the big question: is it feminist? 🎟 Real Housewives contest rules: Sadaf and Laura are teaming up for a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills rewatch event in Toronto, happening March 4 at Second City, complete with trivia, contests, prizes, and a free drink with every ticket.

    Hot Off The Press: Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni

    This week, we continue with the Beckham family drama, after Brooklyn  published a jaw-dropping six-page Instagram statement accusing his mother, Victoria , of humiliating him at his wedding. Is this feud salvageable or officially beyond repair? Then, we turn to the latest round of cruel fat-shaming aimed at journalist and filmmaker Keely Shaye Smith, Pierce Brosnan’s wife of more than two decades. In the era of Ozempic, why does the internet still seem personally offended by happy, long-married couples? The centrepiece of our episode, however, is the increasingly explosive legal saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. We unpack her sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit, his $400-million countersuit, and the leaked text messages revealed during discovery, which feature none other than Taylor Swift. 📚 For further reading: Vogue's deep dive on Nicola Peltz's wedding gown Leaked texts from Lively-Baldoni case; Jenny Slate's deposition 🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like: — Why is the Beckham family fighting? — How Winona Ryder was almost banished from Hollywood — Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard: Inside Hollywood’s most overshared marriage 🔗 Once you're done listening, why not subscribe to our Patreon here?

    Why Amanda Seyfried never became a tabloid star

    Amanda Seyfried is, in a low-key way,  one of the most recognizable stars in the world. From blockbuster musicals like Mama Mia! and Les Mis, to thrillers like The Housemaid, who hasn't seen Amanda  in something? Despite her fame, she has managed to stay largely scandal-free; however, that doesn't mean she hasn't done some edgy things. This week, we explore the times she narrowly escaped the sort of cheating scandals that take down countless other female celebrities, from Angelina Jolie to Olivia Munn. Did you know some people believe Amanda  may have broken up her husband's first marriage? Neither does anyone else. We'll also dig into why we believe she might have made an EVEN BETTER Galinda than Ariana Grande...     🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like: How Anne Hathaway Got Labelled a Try-Hard  Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard: Inside Hollywood’s most overshared marriage Lily Allen's messy, masterful comeback 🔗 Once you're done listening, why not subscribe to our Patreon here?

    Hot Off The Press: Why is the Beckham family fighting?

    In this week's Hot off the Press, we discuss the endless and very public feuding inside the Beckham family; it's Victoria and David versus Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. And boy do we have some rumours to sift through. Plus, in other Hollywood catfight news, Ashley Tisdale called out her famous mom friends for being "toxic," while we also dive into the recent spate of Disney murders and suicides. Yeah, it's a wild one.

    REWIND: How Winona Ryder was almost banished from Hollywood

    In another revisited episode, this week, we rave about one of our all-time favourite icons: thee Winona Ryder, original goth girl. That means, we also rant about how that one shoplifting incident had Hollywood turning its back on her overnight, and the impact it made on her singular career. Oh, and her ex Johnny Depp — unfortunately. 🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like: – Meghan Markle's holiday special: Our questions and reactions – Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard: Inside Hollywood’s most overshared marriage – Lily Allen's messy, masterful comeback 🔗 And why not subscribe to our Patreon here?

    REWIND: When Princess Anne thwarted her own kidnapping

    In this special revisited episode, we go back to 1974, discussing the time a lone gunman attempted to kidnap 23-year-old Princess Anne (yes, we know she's one of your favourite characters on The Crown). While the media coverage of this story at the time emphasized the valour of the men who helped rescue Anne, the reality is that the princess played an instrumental role in saving herself. We chat about why it took Anne so long to share her truth. We also examine the details of this highly cinematic, but little discussed, story. 📚 For further reading: – Smithsonian Magazine: The bloody attempt to kidnap a British princess – Michael Parkinson Interview: Princess Anne speaks on the kidnapping attempt 🎧 A few recent episodes we think you might like: – Meghan Markle's holiday special: Our questions and reactions – Is it time to forgive Camilla Parker Bowles? – Why did Sarah Ferguson apologize to Jeffrey Epstein? 🔗 And why not subscribe to our Patreon here?
