In this episode, Knoxtradamus and Jamie dust off the crystal ball to predict the pop culture future of 2026. From comebacks we’re already dreading to the press tours we’re pre-judging months in advance, we’re forecasting the good, the bad, and the delightfully unhinged moments headed our way. Plus, we place our boldest bets yet by predicting which movies Erin will actually watch this year—and yes, the odds are slim.
