Banterly

Memes from last week’s presidential debate are all anyone can talk about, and Suha and Aidan are here to break down their favorites—ranging from Abdul in Afghanistan to cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio.

This week’s episode of Banterly takes a deep dive into the horror-comedy genre as they debate the best (and worst) scary movies. They compare the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film with the 1988 original, exploring what the sequel got right and what left them wanting more.

Grab an Aperol Spritz and settle in—our favorite guest host Maya Shetty is back from an Italian summer vacay with Aidan, and they’ve got stories. As Lady Gaga said, it was a “No sleep!

This week, we're dropping one of our favorite episodes from Sportly, a new podcast by Immigrantly Media. In this episode, sports journalist Kavitha A. Davidson explores the origins of breaking ("breakdancing") in the Bronx and its cultural and social significance. She also addresses the controversies surrounding its inclusion in the Olympics. Does this newfound visibility honor and uplift breaking and hip-hop culture, or does it risk commodifying a deeply expressive art form?

In this episode, our hosts dive into two recent Netflix docuseries: Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult and America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. While Suha finds one series to lack journalistic integrity, Aidan finds the other to be a surprising display of community.

They share their top 3 favorite DCC cheerleaders and discuss their favorite and least favorite scenes from the show. In comparing the two groups, they tackle the pressing question: Are 7M TikTok and DCC a cult?
