    Past Performance Does Not Guarantee Future Results

    It's 05-06-26, y'all! It's fun to say that date out loud. It's also fun to listen and/or watch our newest pop culture round up, as long as you keep in mind that, "Past Performance Does Not Guarantee Future Results." That episode title is kind of a nod to one of our big stories this week…the new concept of 'Blue Dot Fever.' (And don't worry if you don't know what that is; we'll tell ya). Also up this hour: A salute to Mother's Day (it's this coming Sunday) with our Favorite TV Series Moms of All Time Dolly Parton cancels her Vegas residency AGAIN A United Airlines plan descended a bit too soon in Newark A Delta passenger refused to hang up her phone—shocking! Was Monday's MET GALA a boom or a bust? (It was sure busty!) Can anything be done about the 2,000 pound sea lion? And former child actor does porn. Once. All that and more are packed into Episode 513. And for no reason whatsoever, hosts Scott and Robbie are depicted as their vintage selves on a tropical beach for the title card and opening theme. Just because. _________ Stream, download, and subscribe to the audio version of the show on most popular podcast distribution apps and sites, such as Spotify, iHeart, Apple Podcasts, Audible, YouTube Music, and Podbean.

    Robbie and Scott have launched their podcast rocket to planet 'Rock Lobster' in order to explore all the out-of-this-world pop culture news and view of the week, including: We are officially Halfway to Halloween. Star Wars Day is next Monday. Henry Winkler, Laurie Metcalf, and Sally Field tell us stuff we didn't know about classic TV shows and movies. Wile E. Coyote finally gets his day in court. Madonna was back at it again this past weekend. Sex injuries send a lot of people to the ER. Yikes! The super rare two-tone lobster is a thing. Some do-gooder killed a pet lobster. Plus, Red Lobster has lost their damn mind again. And we'll ask…are you a Nazi? All that and the new MICHAEL movie, too!

  3. A SWISH EXTRA - The "Michael" Biopic Review

    A SWISH EXTRA - The "Michael" Biopic Review

    The new "Michael" biopic from director Antoine Fuqua and writer John Logan—produced and approved by the (majority of ) the Jackson family—is genuinely a feel-good, sing-along inspiring ride. However, even though it's the biggest film opening of 2026 so far, it is not a hit with professional critics; many have pointed out misaligned timelines and the blaring omission of key people, events, and controversies that made up a significant part of the King of Pop's first 30 years. That aside, we enjoyed the film, and agree the casting and acting are spot on, especially when it comes to Jaafar Jackson as Michael. He uncannily manages to channel the well-documented mannerisms, speaking and singing voices, and even the innovative dancing style of his late uncle.  We recommend the movie whether or not you are, or were, a diehard Michael Jackson fan. But we have a warning: what you will be getting is a sanitized version of what really happened (his own daughter, Paris, has publicly said as much). We are also looking forward to the much-anticipated—and now certainly green-lit, though unannounced—sequel that will cover his 30s and 40s. Unfortunately, however, we know how that movie will end. In this 'Swish Extra,' we'll break down the movie and tell you what we think about the biggest celebrity biopic of all time, now playing at a theater near you. NOTE: Do we need a spoiler alert for a uber-documented global superstar's biopic? Yes, we talk about EVERYTHING. If you want to know nothing, like Scott did before he went to the theater, see the movie first, then come back to our in-depth discussion. _________ Stream, download, and subscribe to the audio version of the show on most popular podcast distribution apps and sites, such as Spotify, iHeart, Apple Podcasts, Audible, YouTube Music, and Podbean.

The Lego thief is nabbed A Serial Killer Speakeasy is coming to your town Cate Blanchett to play Martha Stewart on the big screen "Focker In-Law" to star Ariana Grande Robbie reviews Bob Odenkirk's "Normal" movie And "Slay Day" might change how we watch movies  All that, and much more pop culture goodness for April 22, 2026.

    Celebrity Overload and Chicken Coops

    It seems we like to keep shaking things up here at the 'Swish Edition.' Because Kristin has stepped away from the podcast, Scott recruited one of his longtime friends—a fellow pop culture aficionado—Robbie Barnett to step up to the microphone from his home in Walla Walla, Washington. In this celebrity and movie-heavy episode, the guys talk about the announcement that "Scream 8" is in development; a review of the new "The Drama" dark comedy starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya; Robbie's celebrity-filled con weekend where he got to meet the cast of "Stand By Me," including Will Wheaton, Cory Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell, pop singer Debbie Gibson, actresses Helen Slater and Morgan Fairchild, and actor Reginald VelJohnson; we talk about Hawaiian Airline pilots losing their battle to keep their facial hair; an entire shift of employees are fired from a Chik-fil-A restaurant for a tasteless viral video; another Chik-fil-A encourages patrons to put down the phone while they enjoy their meal with family members; it's rumored that super television producer Ryan Murphy is developing a new mini-series about the love affair between Fleetwood Mac members Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks; and, Scott tells his infamous Carrie Fisher cruise ship story. All that, and more silliness, this week on the Swish Edition!
