    #23 BTS Comeback Time! + Universal Studios' Hollywood Drift Blunder?

    The entertainment industry is shifting fast—and this week we’re unpacking everything from theme park influencer culture to the massive BTS comeback event streaming on Netflix. Hosts Tetris Kelly and Brooke Morrison dive into the growing world of theme park influencer events after the buzz surrounding the upcoming Universal Studios Hollywood Fast & Furious roller coaster preview. What does it actually take to get invited to these exclusive park events? Is it follower count, industry connections, or years of relationship-building with marketing teams? Then we get into a bigger media question: Why do entertainment news shows keep getting pitched but never made? Both hosts share insider experiences auditioning for major media companies while networks quietly shelve projects. Are studios risk-averse, cutting budgets, or just unsure what the future of entertainment journalism looks like in 2026? Finally, we break down one of the biggest global music stories of the year: BTS officially returning with their new album "ARIRANG" and a global livestream event, "BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang", airing on Netflix. The historic concert—broadcast from Gwanghwamun with views of Gyeongbokgung Palace—marks the group’s first global performance together after completing military service. We talk about what this comeback means for K-pop, streaming platforms, and global fandom culture.

    #22 Alysa Liu’s Olympics Moment, Spotify’s Streaming-Era Hits & Zara Larsson’s Block List

    We're back! Season 2 of "The Industry, I Guess" kicks off with a look at how pop music, viral moments, and fandom shape the culture in real time. We start with Alysa Liu’s gold-medal performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina and how her routines—featuring music from Donna Summer and PinkPantheress/Zara Larsson’s viral track “Stateside”—helped bring new energy and internet buzz to Olympic figure skating. With the song exploding on TikTok, we break down how athletes choose their music and whether viral hits can influence Olympic routines. Next, we dive into Spotify’s newly released Top 100 Pop Songs of the Streaming Era. Artists like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Drake, Ariana Grande, and Chappell Roan make the top 10. We also discuss Zara Larsson’s viral interview revealing she’s blocked certain artists she considers “abusers” on Spotify, sparking a broader conversation about separating art from the artist in today’s streaming world. From the Olympics to TikTok to the biggest songs of the streaming era, it’s a conversation about how pop culture, music, and fandom continue to shape the entertainment industry.
