    Lea Michele Can't Read!

    If there's one conspiracy theory we can get behind - it's the Lea Michele not being able to read one.  That's right, our lives have turned into a Glee episode and in the coming weeks Lea will be replacing Beanie Feldstein as the lead in Funn Girl on Broadway!  This is the ~drama~ we live for.  Adding to the dramatics of this week, the Bachelorette is BACK with double the bachelorettes and double the chaos.  Hot take, this episode one has been better than pretty much all of the last few seasons - and we'll tell you why.  Closing it out with a breakdown of the Emmy nominations and a Stranger Things recap - no spoilers though - we know how Maeve feels!!! Give this one a listen.

    Liam Has Us In Payne!

    Everyone, One Direction has emerged from the dead to give us an action-packed, dramatic episode!  Liam Payne has bamboozled, surprised, and angered us with his Logan Paul podcast antics - we're still wondering which member caught those hands backstage!  On the other hand, Harry Styles continues to thrive with the album of the summer!! Unfortunately, the AMEX presale for his tickets did take a few years off our lives but we snagged them :)) Now we're just waiting for Niall to release that new album - justice for Heartbreak Weather!  Give this one a listen!

This episode is a couple of weeks old, but big things have been happening and we're excited to get back into the swing of things!!  The Christine Quinn debate continues as Selling Sunset comes to a close alongside the end of The Ultimatum - two Netflix shows we will be campaigning for, for years to come!!! Also our entire Met gala breakdown from Maeve's in-person perspective and Anna's fyp :) Blake Lively has once again taken the crown and Maeve thinks Shawn Mendes deserves more hype!  Give this one a listen.

    We Are On The JLo: Part Two!

    And now....to the Grammys!!! While Kourtney and Travis were there they did not upstage Bennifer so we forgive them - for now.   From Billie to Olivia to Lady Gaga, we lay out all our thoughts on the show here; plus our A-list/D-list at the end of the episode!!

    We Are On The JLo!

    Welcome to part one in this special two-part episode week!! Kicking it off with a bang as we breakdown the news of the Bennifer engagement...they heard MGK and Megan Fox were giving them a run for their money and said hold my beer! We did indeed sacrifice our inboxes for the special JLo newsletter to get the exclusive on the engagement and once again miss Jenny From the Block did not disappoint with her descriptors! Bennifer is back with a vengeance - give this first part a listen!! *team Jennifer Garner*:)

    Useless Knowledge Finally Weighs In On The Slap!

    So guys, nothing really happened at the Oscars...nothing at all!  That being said we, of course, found a way to talk about everything - from Amy Schumer, to Timothee Chalamet, to the ~infamous~ slap heard around the Hollywood Theater, we've covered it all!  This is your dedicated Oscars recap episode with all of the hot takes Hollywood didn't ask for.  Sit back, relax and enjoy the show - just like Nicole Kidman in her AMC ad :) !

    We’re Still Talking About Anne Hathaway’s 2013 Oscars Speech!

    Anne Hathaway's Les Mis acceptance speech lives rent-free in Maeve's mind and we hope it does in your mind too!  Another week of 2022 down and another week closer to Oscar Sunday - this is OUR SuperBowl :))  Clayton's season has thankfully ended and - hot take - was not that dramatic of an ending, but we're just over here, hands raised, wondering how a double Bachelorette season is going to work!! In the meantime, Maeve may start listening to BFFS Pod, but very reluctantly - Brianna Chicken Fry - is your liver okay??  Anyways, give this one a listen!!
