  1. Ejae Talks "Golden," KPop Demon Hunters and "In Another World"

    Ejae Talks "Golden," KPop Demon Hunters and "In Another World"

    Hot on the heels of our interview with Audrey Nuna — the singing voice of Mira in KPop Demon Hunters — we’ve got Ejae in the hot seat. Her journey to become the singing voice of Rumi is pretty different. The Korean-American singer spent 11 years as a trainee and was dropped before she debuted, ultimately finding her way into songwriting, via Tisch School of Arts, and even returning to the very KPop company who dropped her to pen hits for other acts like Red Velvet, Twice, and Le Sserafim. We get the skinny on what it was really like being K-pop trainee, why she was dropped, what Tisch was like (her classmates included Lauv, Phoebe Ryan, and Fletcher), and how she broke into songwriting, eventually leading to her writing the pop juggernaut that is ‘Golden’ (Grammy nominated!), not to mention a bunch of the other songs on the soundtrack. And let’s just say writing for film is very different than writing for a pop group. Rei Ami, Audrey Nuna, and Ejae have only recently started performing live together and Ejae’s still getting her feet wet when it comes to the stage — it can be panic-inducing — so we also get into that, plus her debut solo single ‘In Another World,’ and so much more!

  2. Kathy Griffin Talks Facelifts, My Life on the D-List, Donald Trump and New Comedy Special

    Kathy Griffin Talks Facelifts, My Life on the D-List, Donald Trump and New Comedy Special

    Kathy Griffin needs no introduction. This fiery redhead has been making people laugh and causing a ruckus with her unapologetic tea-spilling celebrity anecdotes since the 90s. A self-proclaimed stand-up addict, she joins us in the studio for the first time ever — on her 65th birthday — to talk about her weekly YouTube show, Talk Your Head Off, and her new comedy special, also on YouTube, My Life On the PTSD List. The title is of course a play on her groundbreaking, Emmy-winning reality show My Life On the D List, which was one of the genre and era-defining Bravo shows in the 2000s, and now it’s also on, you guessed it, YouTube. All for free. We talk about all this, plus her new face (it’s her third), getting thrown out of Paris Hilton’s party, Kris Jenner, body dysmorphia, how she manages to maintain relationships when she’s always being so delightfully, hilariously, and publicly indiscreet. This woman has more comedy specials than any other comedian, man or woman! Plus we discuss Joan Rivers, falling out with Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, talking crap about Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen, dating Quentin Tarantino and Steve Wozniak (not at the same time). We also dig into what was the most seismic moment of her life: when photographer Tyler Shields snapped a shot of her holding up a rubber mask of Trump covered in ketchup. It sparked a chain of overreactions from the President that saw her put on the no-fly list and investigated like a terrorist. So much for free speech! It tanked her career for seven years, and led to a series of really dark periods with drugs and suicidal ideation that also coincided with her losing her mom, the pandemic, getting lung cancer even though she never smoked! Woof. This convo is a wild ride and Zach and Dan definitely get a roasting too.

    Hayley Kiyoko Talks Getting Engaged, Girls Like Girls, Lemonade Mouth, and New Novel

    Lesbian Jesus — so anointed by her fans — is a force to be reckoned with. Artist, actor, director, dancer, New York Times bestselling author. It’s wild! And we’ve finally got her on the couch to discuss her newest novel, the Victorian-set, YA page-turner, Where There’s Room For Us. She discusses the novel’s inception — inspired by her meet-cute with her now fiancé Becca Tilley (of The Bachelor) — and we find out all about her proposal too. We also do some deep dives into her acting catalogue from Disney’s Lemonade Mouth to Jem and the Holograms, which was directed by John M. Chu! Jem was also where Kiyoko met Stefanie Scott who she cast in the ‘Girls Like Girls’ music video and who she ended up co-writing the screenplay for Girls Like Girls the movie… which is on the way. We discuss all of that, not to mention her upbringing in a creative household, the landscape for musicians these days versus even ten years ago, and also the landscape for queer artists, plus so much more. Make sure to check out the audiobook as well because Kiyoko’s got none other than actor Jemima Kirke voicing the character of Freya.

  4. Cortis Talks GO!, FaSHioN and Debut EP "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES"

    Cortis Talks GO!, FaSHioN and Debut EP "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES"

    CORTIS are not like other K-pop crews. Yes they ultimately trained like idols, but the quintet spent years within Big Hit Music as songwriters/producers for others — they knew of each other before they were actually brought together as a group (more on that in their interview). They only just debuted with their first EP Color Outside the Lines this past September and the collection pops. Featuring a stellar collaboration with Teeezo Touchdown, their songs like ‘FaSHioN’ (inspired by a trip vintage shopping on Fairfax in LA) showcase a harder edge, a certain nod to heroes Brockhampton, Odd Future, and ASAP Mobb, while ‘JoyRide’ offers a melancholy, emo-tinged vibe (despite the title). Most notably James, Juhoon, Martin, Seonghyeon, Keonho are humming with ideas, shooting and editing many of their own videos before blowing out the budget and heading to farflung places like the snowy mountains of New Zealand to make more MVs. By their own admission, they’re still teenagers (okay, James just turned 20), they want to have fun, eat good food, and go vintage shopping because full price designer threads aren’t exactly in budget. Songs about girls? Right now they’re not interested. We discuss all this and more on their first time on the couch. Definitely one of South Korea’s most exciting and authentic new groups.

  5. Justice Smith Talks 'Now You See Me,' Dungeons and Dragons, Pikachu, and 'I Saw the TV Glow'

    Justice Smith Talks 'Now You See Me,' Dungeons and Dragons, Pikachu, and 'I Saw the TV Glow'

    Justice Smith has been carving a name for himself since his big break in Baz Lurhmann’s The Get Down (2016) as an actor who balances big blockbusters with hefty legacies and built-in fanbases (Jurassic Park, Pokemon, Dungeons & Dragons), with subversive indie films such as A24’s triumph I Saw The TV Glow with its broader trans metaphor, The American Society of Magical Negroes, and high school TV series Genera+ion. Now he’s joining the Now You See Me franchise with its latest instalment Now You See Me: Now You Don’t — alongside Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Ariana Greenblatt, Rosamund Pike — in which he plays a key role that could really run and run. He joins us on the couch for the first time to discuss this new film, heading to LA’s storied Magic Castle and training to be an illusionist for the role. Plus we find out more about his upbringing in Orange County, his biracial background, acting as catharsis and therapy, and the balance of art and commerce. Is he in the midst of his Saturn returns? The 30-year-old seems to think so, but he’s on such a career streak it’s hard to imagine what his life would look like when his planets are aligned!

  6. Lukas Gage Talks Memoir "I Wrote This For Attention," Smile 2, White Lotus, and Euphoria

    Lukas Gage Talks Memoir "I Wrote This For Attention," Smile 2, White Lotus, and Euphoria

    Lukas Gage is everywhere. He’s in everything! White Lotus, Euphoria, Smile 2, Love, Victor, Fargo, the film of the year, Companion… and now he has a memoir out, I Wrote This for Attention, which, as you might imagine is a page turner. The San Diego-born actor only turned 30 this year, but he’s definitely lived a life so far. In the book (and on the couch) he covers his tumultuous upbringing, rebellion, drugs, rehab wilderness camp, and sadly abuse, plus his first decade in Hollywood, hustling hard and dealing with Borderline Personality Disorder, with the same candor and humor he comes to the studio with. If you’re looking for Chris Appleton, Kim Kardashian-officiated marriage tea, it’s mentioned briefly in the book, and we chat about it a bit here, but it’s really the least interesting part of his life and career. He also discusses getting his a$$ eaten on White Lotus, STDs, trust and abandonment issues, how he deals with BPD, getting accused of queerbaiting, mukbangs, Sam Levinson, eccentric older ladies, Noah Centineo, that viral video, and so much more.
