😆“Can comedy still thrive in a world that’s forgotten how to laugh?”

 In this dynamic follow-up episode of The JB and Sandy Show, pop culture expert Steven Presley returns to the studio to dive deeper into the entertainment world—from the revival of classic comedies to viral marketing controversies and late-night TV shakeups. The crew kicks things off with a breakdown of the new Naked Gun reboot, produced by Seth MacFarlane and starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. Early reviews are glowing, and the conversation quickly turns to whether America is finally ready to laugh again. Then, it’s all eyes on Sydney Sweeney, whose American Eagle ad campaign sparked both praise and controversy—yet still sent the company’s stock soaring. Steven unpacks the marketing strategy behind the viral spot and why Sweeney is the perfect face for unapologetic branding.

The episode also explores:

• Tom Cruise’s rumored romance with Ana de Armas and the ever-present shadow of Scientology.
• The King of the Hill reboot on Hulu, complete with aged-up characters and a sushi-fusion chef Bobby Hill.
• A nostalgic look at South Austin culture and the legendary North vs. South tug-of-war.
• The future of late-night TV, including why Fallon and Kimmel might survive the ratings slump, and who could be the next breakout host.
