Hey dear listeners,

Jas and Maggie both have had 17-year-old Olivia Rodrigo’s song 'Drivers Licence' in our heads so we debrief on the drama and backstory that surrounds this record-breaking single.

Then we chat about the disturbing cannibal allegations against Armie Hammer. We refer to this article that includes screenshots of alleged conversations. Armie responded to these allegations and has since stepped away from his role in an upcoming film. The controversy has since been escalated by his ex Courtney Vucekovich coming forward with domestic violence accusations. This Twitter thread unpacks the power imbalance and misogyny that Armie is perpetuating.

Jasmine references to this article in Rolling Stone Magazine with a kink perspective from a BDSM expert.

Lana Del Rey is back in the headlines as she preemptively defended her album art for Chemtrails Over the Country Club. We read from Kayleigh Watson’s take on this for Gal-dem. 

Maggie recommends ‘Where the light gets in – understanding joy and how to find it’ by Ella Jane in Russh Magazine, a piece that recalibrates what joy means after it has been in the clutches of a global pandemic. 

Jasmine recommends the Disney+ series WandaVision, a Marvel Cinematic Universe show starring Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen.
