Listen Later

Mase & Sue do some detective work on their Watch Along of Episode 4 of APPLE TV +’s LA set noir series, SUGAR, starring Colin Farrell. They discuss the introduction of Olivia’s disturbing social media posts, Melanie’s suspicious dealings with Bernie, David and his Henchman’s visit with Sugar’s purported mother, and a possible clue as to “what” her “son” truly is. Also, why is Sugar so optimistic about the human condition, yet constantly questioning it? What’s behind the discussion with his secret society doctor about an alien related scene in John Carpenter’s, The Thing? David’s predatory behavior becoming public, if he sexually assaulted his half-sister, and the significance of a dress worn by Olivia’s late actress mother in a film directed by her grandfather seen in photos on his current wife. In the vein of CHINATOWN, is Olivia his daughter or granddaughter? What’s with the treasure trove of women’s jewelry the villainous Stalling’s creepy girlfriend combs through, one of which, a necklace Olivia is wearing in her video posts? And is Olivia on the other side of the padlocked door in his basement? Plus, ESPNLA producer and self-proclaimed Swiftie Emily Hybl drops by THE CULTURE POP PODCAST for an in-depth discussion about The Tortured Poets Department. They talk about their favorite tunes and Emily sets the record straight on who’s who in Taylor’s heartbreak songs. Also, the significance of some of the locations, her signature track 5’s, easter eggs, bestie Emma Stone’s contribution, the possible connection between ‘Fortnight’ and ‘Florida!!!’ the brilliant specific lyrics, hidden/ not so hidden Kim Kardashian jab, thanK you aIMee and the inspiration behind the poem, “For T and Me” penned to Taylor by Stevie Nicks.
