March 05, 2026 Blackout Lessons & Friendship Breakups
Bryan and Candace are leaving Los Angeles behind and heading toward their respective happy places. For Candace, that might mean leaving the country entirely in search of a second citizenship. For Bryan, it means braving Times Square tourists and a historic New York blizzard to see a Broadway show.

In this pre-recorded episode, the two cover a wide range of generational experiences, from friendship breakups and the commercials that shaped their childhoods to the lessons learned from blackout nights and realizing when it might be time to put the bottle down.

February 26, 2026 Tyra Banks Was Worse Than We Remember
Ghosting, bread crumbing, and limerence. Bryan and Candace unpack modern dating disasters, from pre-internet romance to Grindr flings gone silent. When a Huntington Library date turns into classic ghosting, the conversation spirals into whether anyone is emotionally stable anymore.

Then it’s onto Wuthering Heights. Bryan and Candace break down Emerald Fennell’s latest adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, debating obsession, kink, generational trauma, and whether Heathcliff should have been portrayed as Black. Is the film romantic, toxic, or just unhinged? And does age change how you experience epic love stories?

The chaos continues with the America’s Next Top Model documentary. Tyra Banks faces renewed criticism over manipulation, exploitation, and the infamous Tiffany meltdown. Was ANTM revolutionary television or deeply problematic reality TV abuse?

From there, they tune into Ryan Murphy’s Love Story and the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette saga, unpacking Kennedy curse lore, fashion icon legacy, and whether American royalty should be left alone.

Finally, they dive into the rise of looksmaxxing culture and Clavicular, the manosphere’s obsession with jawlines, GQ profiling incel influencers, and how online nihilism is shaping real-world politics.

Oh, and Michelle Obama is living her best Bravo life while Barack casually talks aliens.

February 17, 2026 Epstein Fallout, Royal Secrets & The DOJ Meltdown
How dare Bryan and Candace question the Epstein files?! Quiet, piggies. The S&P 500 is up. At least that’s the energy coming from Washington when survivors ask for answers. Justice? Accountability? Transparency? Never heard of her. Billionaires getting richer? Focus on that instead.
Meanwhile, the royal family is experiencing its own highs and lows. Meghan Markle celebrates Black History Month while Prince Andrew revisits financial fallout tied to past controversies, including a very expensive “family-funded” settlement situation.
In other news, we start to realize it all feels connected: the distractions, the narratives, the selective outrage. From Jill Zarin’s ill-informed comments that cost her a gig, to the Free Britney movement, to the continued Epstein fallout (or lack thereof).
All of this while Candace fuels up on DayQuil and Bryan rides a full Loverboy high.

February 11, 2026 Bad Bunny Leads with Love
Consider us tin hat wearers, but in the ongoing battle between good and evil, the collective seems to be moving past the shallow binaries of Republican vs Democrat, gay vs straight, Black vs white. The real divide is elite vs everyone else, also known as the majority.
The Epstein emails dropped. Three million files. Our heads are spinning as we try to make sense of it all. Meanwhile, Savannah Guthrie’s mom has gone missing, and honestly, maybe it’s all connected, because it increasingly feels like everything is. Just ask Justin Bieber.
Candace breaks down the theory that Bieber’s song Yummy may have been a warning sign years before he hit the Grammys stage looking even more “yummy” while performing Yukon.
And while the internet debates evil, power, and accountability, Bad Bunny leads with love. Fresh off a Grammy win and a powerful message, he shows up at the Super Bowl not just to combat hate, but to counter Turning Point USA’s alternative programming, featuring the troll under the bridge otherwise known as Kid Rock.

February 03, 2026 MAGA Minaj and Melania Flop
While Bryan was getting laid on, Candace was getting laid off.
It’s another week where corporations choose profit over people, and Nicki Minaj continues her own baffling rebrand, choosing MAGA over, well, basic moral decency.
In these economically and politically bleak times, Bryan and Candace ask the only question that matters: do we actually care about rich people’s feelings? Not while a billionaire president keeps getting richer, terrorizes the streets of Minneapolis, and now terrorizes theatergoers with the propaganda film known as Melania.
For a brief reprieve from the state of the world, Bryan quizzes Candace on the Oscars race after a series of meltdowns and shutouts. They also touch on the Olympics, which somehow got gay and Italian, the exact intersection of Bryan’s identity, and debate ethical casting following the controversial decision to cast Odessa A’zion as a Latina character.

January 27, 2026 Grab Your Friends, Wear Your Florals, Lose Them Anyway
Sometimes Bryan and Candace feud, but this week the internet brings them closer together. The Beckham dynasty is showing cracks and it is not looking posh. Blake Lively may still be telling everyone to grab your friends and wear your florals, but the friends she once grabbed for It Ends With Us have officially let go, namely Taylor Swift. And after ten seasons, the cast of Queer Eye might officially need an intervention of their own.
Away from the celebrity mess, Bryan attends yet another gay orgy, this one sponsored by party favors he wanted absolutely nothing to do with. Candace, meanwhile, reports that her suburban neighborhood has gone fully off the deep end, stoking paranoia and fear with a severe case of Mean World Syndrome.
And somewhere in the background of all of this, CBS employees are quietly trying to figure out how to eject Bari Weiss while still delivering something resembling ethical coverage in these deeply unhinged times.

January 20, 2026 The Traitors Is a Metaphor for Those in Office
In Europe you might not be getting iced coffee or air conditioning, *but at least you’re not dealing with the fallout of federal immigration raids that have swept through Minneapolis and other states in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent.
Bryan and Candace unpack those ICE raids and the way politicians, the news, and artists have responded — or not responded. At least we have voices like Mark Ruffalo speaking up. Meanwhile, the Golden Globes came and went during a tragic week, and many actors remained silent on the matter, with only a few sporting buttons to show solidarity with victims and protestors.
One of those button wearers, Tessa Thompson, happened to have a show release on Netflix that both Candace and Bryan watched and admired with equal parts confusion and adoration. Enter His & Hers, 2026’s twistiest, most convoluted thriller yet, and you might just find the medicine you needed to escape this reality.
After solving that mystery, the two joined The Traitors at the round table to discuss Season 4 of the U.S. edition, which saw Taylor Swift’s future mother-in-law Donna Kelce sandwiched between himbos from Love Island and housewives with tongues as sharp as knives.

January 20, 2026 Reality Is the Real Horror Movie
The new year kicks off with a delusional dose of optimism. Bryan is deep in The Artist’s Way. Candace is cleansing her space with credit card purchased sage. Both are fully committed to believing they can leave last year’s negativity behind.
They also confront the slow death of language itself. Words no longer mean anything. Just ask Bryan, who says “literally” constantly despite being an avid reader. Candace, meanwhile, is on a full-blown thriller binge, reading anything that thinks it can outsmart Gone Girl with one more unnecessary twist.
Eventually, the two plug into Weapons and officially join the Aunt Gladys hive. A horror movie about addiction and generational trauma? Perfect. Basically just their childhoods, but with different jump scares.
But the real horror show remains our political circus. Trump is now talking about Greenland. Candace is quietly plotting her escape. Bryan is trying not to think too hard about a future without Sweetgreen.

January 06, 2026 Gagged and Gooped by Gwyneth’s Return
2025? Out. 2026? In. And according to Marty Supreme, it’s officially time to dream big.
Bryan and Candace recap their Christmaskkuh season, which somehow managed to go in two completely opposite directions. One spent Christmas alone in a log cabin, Cameron Diaz–style in The Holiday. The other was bailing water out of a flooding backyard minutes before guests arrived. Naturally, this sparks a debate over whether carolers still have a place in the 21st century and who, exactly, is opening their door in the middle of that chaos.
Either way, both are more than ready to leave the hellscape of 2025 behind. Between a burning Los Angeles, a company imploding, and an unrelenting political mess, they’re cautiously hopeful for a Labubu-free 2026.
And after seeing Marty Supreme, Bryan’s Letterboxd score confirms the marketing hype, and Gwyneth Paltrow officially earns her way back into his cinematic good graces for the first time since Glee.
