    Subway Sandwich Subscription? Shia at Mardi Gras & The Pickleball Movie is Here | HWP 1010

    This week on Hardly Working, the food industry, Hollywood, and Shia LaBeouf all decided to spiral at the same time. In food news, Subway may be testing a $45/month subscription that allegedly gets you unlimited footlong sandwiches. With the median footlong price hovering around $12, we break down whether four sandwiches a month makes you financially responsible… or deeply concerning. Meanwhile, Wendy's is preparing to close 5–6% of its locations, and value menus are back in focus across the fast-food world. In movie news: A new The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is set for December 17, 2027, with Andy Serkis, Elijah Wood, and Ian McKellen returning.Ben Stiller announces his new sports comedy The Dink, premiering July 26 on Apple TV+ — and yes, it’s about pickleball.We have new cast confirmations and the official title for the next The Mummy, arriving May 19, 2027.And then… Shia LaBeouf was arrested during Mardi Gras in New Orleans after a chaotic incident caught on video. Days later, he was reportedly church-hopping on Ash Wednesday. We talk about it with real concern. In music news, Spotify is raising its subscription price again — now $19/month. That’s $228 a year to stream music. Also: Mazda finally admits its infotainment system is terrible. Progress? Plus, Unpopular Opinions that might divide households: Caramel popcorn should not dominate the holiday tinTamales are the worst form of Mexican foodKetchup could be fine dining if it weren’t everywhereFast food math, sequel culture, subscription fatigue, and pickleball cinema — all in one episode.

    and why nothing feels safe anymore. In Harry Potter news, **John Lithgow has reportedly been told to walk away from his role in the new Harry Potterseries — and yes, we have thoughts. Over in Disney world, **Josh D'Amaro has officially been tapped as the next CEO of Disney, setting the stage for a massive shift in the future of theme parks, movies, and franchises. And because nostalgia never dies: a brand-new Air Bud movie has been announced. We’re asking the important questions — how many rules are left to break, and what sport is the dog playing this time? To get ready for the big game, we kick off Super Bowl trivia to warm everyone up ahead of this year’s showdown — consider this your pre-party brain workout.

    TikTok Suppression, Taylor Swift in the Song Writer Hall of Fame and Goodbye Fatburger | HWP 1007

    This week on Hardly Working, the news refused to wait until we finished recording — so naturally, everything broke immediately after. We’re breaking down the fallout from TikTok’s new American ownership and why it’s already causing major problems, plus the shocking Oscar snub no one saw coming: “Wicked: For Good” received ZERO nominations at the 2026 Oscars. Speaking of awards, Taylor Swift is officially making history yet again — this time as the youngest woman ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at just 36, becoming the second-youngest inductee of all time. Records? Broken. Again. In rare good-news energy, the giant panda is no longer endangered after a decade of population growth. We’ll take the win. Harry Potter fans might want to sit down, because Ralph Fiennes may have accidentally spoiled the casting of the new Voldemort, casually suggesting Cillian Murphy might already be locked in. Meanwhile, it’s another rough week for food and retail: Fatburger’s parent company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcyAmazon shuts down multiple Amazon Fresh and Go stores, pivoting back toward Whole FoodsMcDonald’s enters its Hot Honey era, rolling out four brand-new menu items (including a Hot Honey Snack Wrap 👀)And for pure millennial joy, nostalgia is back on the menu with a new horror-comedy in the works: Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein — yes, that’s real, and yes, we’re excited. Plus, Unpopular Opinions that will absolutely cause discourse: People who only like music from their era don’t like music — they like memoriesThe honeymoon phase shouldn’t end if you actually like your partnerMugshots shouldn’t be public until convictionCable TV might have been better than streamingPop culture whiplash, food news overload, and elder millennial commentary — all in one episode.

Plus, Unpopular Opinions that will absolutely start fights: Being “easy to work with” beats being talentedThighs are the worst part of the chickenWatching movies at home is boringSteak is wildly overratedAnd success doesn’t expire at 30 (please stop acting like it does)It’s pop culture, industry chaos, and elder-millennial coping all rolled into one.

    Bridgerton Premiere Debacle and A Nice Cozy Home Show | HWP 1005

    This week, SP and Kellie ask the most important question of all: what’s the most embarassing thing you’ve ever consumed because you were hungry? From unhinged late-night meals to decisions fueled entirely by desperation, this one gets delicious. How did an 44 minute early showing of Bridgerton Season 4 turn into a 5 hour disaster? It was so bad that Netflix had to apologize via email! In That Happened Today?!, we rewind to January 16 and talk about: The Blair Witch Project changing horror (and marketing) foreverRide Along becoming a surprise box office hitThe chaotic debut of The Jerry Springer ShowIconic birthdays including Aaliyah and Kate MossWe also say goodbye to composer Guy Moon, the musical genius behind My Shiny Teeth and Me and Icky Vicky — a massive loss for TV music nostalgia. Plus in the news: Taco Bell launches a new Luxe Value Menu in an expensive worldCalifornia forces delivery apps to issue full refunds when orders are wrongZoë Saldaña officially becomes the highest-grossing actor of all timeCasting updates, podcast wins, and Amy Poehler making history at the Golden GlobesAnd of course, we wrap it all up with Unpopular Opinions that will start arguments — including cats, sleep supremacy, and why you shouldn’t buy a ring before the proposal.

    This week, SP and Kellie recap a wild start to the year: SP DJs New Year’s Eve at Universal Studios Hollywood… in the pouring rain, Kellie hits the red carpet for Netflix’s People We Met on Vacation, and somehow things only get more unhinged from there. We break down everything that happened today in history, from Steve Jobs unveiling the iPhone to the rise of Malcolm in the Middle, Bob’s Burgers, and Shark Tank. Then we spiral into knighted celebrities, Idris Elba’s Bond legacy, and why Callum Turner might be our next 007 (with Dua Lipa potentially along for the ride). Plus: The most disturbing list the U.S. government never meant us to readWhy new TV shows are dying and comfort shows are winningThe most anticipated TV shows of 2026Cinemark’s “bring your own bucket” popcorn chaosZootopia 2 breaking Disney recordsAnd a heated debate over bananas… with mustardAll that, plus a fresh batch of unpopular opinions that may or may not ruin dinner conversations forever.
