@Betches

Welcome to the first episode of the Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits! This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami dive into the first 8 chapters of Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter, which follows the story of an influencer who goes missing, and the older sister determined to find her. They talk dream casting for the movie before unpacking everything from snarky Reddit threads and DeuxMoi parodies, to momagers and true crime podcasters. Come back next week for Part 2, where they cover chapters 9-16, and make sure to leave all your comments and theories on Spotify and Instagram.

The only thing better than sharing a good read with your book club friends is having some delicious snacks at the function, which is why we’ll be snacking on Nutella Biscuits while we discuss. They’re the perfect club snack — so pick up a bag and follow along with us.

This week, Aleen, Sami, and Jordana are here to distract you - and themselves - from the news cycle with a deep dive into the new Martha Stewart documentary that hit Netflix last week. They compare notes on all their favorite moments, peruse her incredible Instagram account (if you’re not following @marthastewart48, you have no idea what you’re missing), and talk about her recent NYT interview where she shared her less-than-favorable thoughts on how it turned out. In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share some of their fall traditions. To close out the episode, Jordana gives her review of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, Trap. Our Betch of the Week is, of course, Martha Stewart. But we’re also sending her to the Caymans, because, like all true icons, she’s flawed. 

Make sure to get your copy of Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter and read chapters 1-8, so you can join us on Monday, November 11th for the first episode of our Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits! We’ll be covering the book for the next 4 Mondays, right here in the @Betches podcast feed.

This week, Aleen and Jordana celebrate Halloween in the studio in matching Carmela and Tony Soprano costumes (check @aleen and @jordanaabraham on IG for the full fits). They kick things off with the spookiest story of the week: Armie Hammer's newly announced podcast, aptly named "The Armie HammerTime Podcast." Next, Timothée Chalamet showed up at his own lookalike contest in NY this week, and Aleen and Jordana get caught up on some of the the ClubChalamet lore. Moving on to celeb relationship news: Despite recent public appearances together looking loved up, Zoë Kravtiz and Channing Tatum have reportedly split - and Jenna Dewan’s fiancé seems to find that hilarious, for reasons unknown. Gisele Bündchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor/boyfriend are expecting their first child together, and Tom Brady might be feeling kind of emo about it, if his IG stories are any indication. Nick Cannon opened up about feeling insecure during his marriage to “Alpha” Mariah Carey, which leads to a conversation about relationship dynamics within successful couples. Jordana and Aleen share their thoughts on A Friend Of The Family, streaming on Peacock (true crime counts for Halloween, right?). Then, a game of Ick or Treat with five pop culture moments from the week, from Ariana Grande’s bf on the cover of GQ to Kim’s birthday post for Caitlyn. Finally, a tribute to queen of Halloween, Heidi Klum, who we’d love to share a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider. We’re sending Armie back to the Caymans yet again, and Steve Kazee to the Caymans for cackling on IG stories after the Zoe/Channing breakup.

While Aleen’s off in LA, Jordana and Sami debate the pros and cons of the LA vs. NY lifestyles. Next, the Betches Canceled Plans issue is officially live, and they discuss the joys of both canceling and getting canceled on. Onto the pop culture headlines, Kylie is on the November cover of Elle, but Jordana’s more concerned with Wicked’s marketing team’s decision to host a special screening for the Kardashian-Jenner kids. In other news, what’s going on with Justin Bieber’s finances? We’ll be keeping an eye out for a potential future lawsuit. Then, much as it pains Jordana and Sami to discuss this without Aleen, J Lo’s ex-husband Ojani Noa went on TV this week and blamed Diddy for their divorce. Honestly, we just want a deep dive documentary on what really happened during the two years J Lo and Diddy dated. And at long last, Jordana and Sami share their long-awaited thoughts on It Ends With Us. Finally, they decide which celeb of the week they are sharing a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider. Our Betch of the Week is Anna Kendrick, for her directorial debut Woman of the Year on Netflix, and we’re sending both of the marketing teams for Wicked and It Ends With Us to the Caymans.

This week, Sami and Jordana cover the latest headlines while Aleen takes care of business. First up, Sami shares her rave challah reviews, it was so delicious that Jordana might be inspired to write up a business plan! In her first interview since her split from Ben Affleck, JLo discusses their divorce, prompting Jordana to find the timing suspicious, while Sami takes a more entrepreneurial angle. Then, Taylor Swift is named the world’s richest female musician following the success of her Eras Tour, boasting a net worth of $1.6 billion. This leads Jordana and Sami to explore a potential engagement timeline for Taylor and Travis. Finally, they dive into the thrilling penultimate episode of Tell Me Lies and predict how this season might wrap up. Our Betch of the Week is Taylor Swift for making that coin, and in a surprising twist, no one gets sent to the Caymans—you're welcome!

Speaking of true crime, the new season of Monster hit Netflix this week, with The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, and Jordana gets into whether or not it nailed the tone… Ryan Murphy might need to take a step back from that genre as a whole.

Taylor swept for Fortnight, but we’re not buying it as the legitimate Song of the Summer. Meanwhile, Taylor and Travis are doing everything in their power to make us forget about that publicity breakup conspiracy document, and honestly… it’s kind of working.
