This weekly podcast finds two friends who are constantly at odds coming together to talk all things pop culture. With a quirky sense of humor (and a complete lack of humility), Shelby and Matt put their fingers on the pulse of social media’s zeitgeist as they discuss, dissect, and dismantle current moments in movies, music, and more. These self-proclaimed tastemakers are eager to prove their point and serve their tea too. Because you may think you’re right but P.S. You’re Wrong.

The Idea of You & The Fall Guy (Episode 260)
It's rom-com week on the pod! And also I'm realizing typing this up that it's a Devil Wears Prada-themed week as well. Anne Hathaway. Emily Blunt. Some boys. No Meryl.
-
Challengers (Episode 259)
Noted tennis experts, Shelby and Matt discuss the technical aspects of the film Challengers. Was Zendaya serving looks? Did the product placement double fault? And did the boys ever....umm....grand slam each other? We're here to break it down.
-
The Tortured Poets Department (Episode 258)
Just as Shelby's long hard faught battle to turn Matt into AOC has been working incredibly well, Matt's deprogramming of Shelby as a Swiftie takes another step in the right direction. The Tortured Poets Department is out and mostly just torturing listeners. Shelby and Matt attempt to breakdown a 31-track album and discuss what is going on in Taylor Swift's head.
-
Civil War (Episode 257)
We have another Alex Garland movie to argue about with his take on the American hellscape in Civil War. In the spirit of taking sides, Shelby roots for and Matt stands against and there’s probably no winner but they’ll be damned if they ever admit one of them is wrong.
-
Monkey Man (Episode 256)
Shelby and Matt join the gaggle of hes, shes and theys giggling over Dev Patel. It’s an episode all about his directorial, leading--action-man debut Monkey Man that’s making the internet say John Wick who?
-
Cowboy Carter (Episode 255)
After far too many expeditions into Taylor Swift's discography, Matt has finally coerced Shelby into discussing a Beyonce album. The pair unpack Cowboy Carter in a way that only two white kids who haven't listened to country music in years can do.

Love, love, love Shelby and “Maaaatt”.
Honestly, I hadn’t written a review because I’m in the UK and podcasters don’t always see their reviews from other countries. But to honour your 100th Episode Birthday coming up, I’ll give it a go. Fair warning: this’ll be long, to celebrate and also because I hate writing succinctly.
Shelby and Matt have brightened my life, both in quarantine but even before. Doing chores, going for walks, tube rides, blabbing to my friends about movie stuff I wouldn’t usually know about — so. much. better. As in, their content isn’t just great when the bar is on the floor and the year is flaming garbage. It’s actually great anyway.
Shelby is funny and smart and loves Taylor Swift and thus would be, arguably, perfect, if she didn’t love Marvel movies. Matt is funny and smart and does not love Taylor swift and thus would be, arguably, perfect, if that last fact wasn’t the case.
I’m here for the razor-sharp banter, the cinephile expertise, and witty intersectional feminist analyses (Shelby’s rants, followed by a low-key but still impassioned “yeah, yikes” from Matt make me lol every time). Seriously, they got my friends and I to watch Train to Busan “together” during lockdown and it made that day of the apocalypse 100% less crap (I know you guys are still very much in the worst of it, apocalypse/virus-wise, in the US, so I’m sorry if that past tense triggered you).
Thanks guys. Y’all feel like friends now, and I’ve got at least two of my real ones on to you so you’re just part of the crew at this point.
In fact, I should mention: Matt, my friend said in the car the other day: “Shame, he sounds so sweet, man. What a decent guy. He has a nice voice.” (We’re South African. Impossible to explain what “shame” means in this context, but there you have it.) I agreed, saying Matt seems like the most earnest and nicest heartless person around.
Shelby, your voice is fine too—I just know it isn’t as much as a complex for you.
Okay guys, I did warn you about length. Hope this brightens up your still-quarantined days.
Never stop never stopping pls.
