Been feeling like a plastic bag drifting through the wind lately. While there are some stories from Hollywood, most of this episode is me venting and talking about myself. You'll hear my voice again in October. Thanks for listening!!

Am I the only person that liked Super Girl? I must be seeing a completely different movie than everyone else because I loved it. I also saw The Invite, directed by Olivia Wilde. I knew I'd like it a little because Penélope Cruz is in it and I'll see anything she's in. But I was not expecting to like it as much as I did. It was probably my favorite movie of the year so far, or at least top 3. Whitney Leavitt stopped by Trisha Paytas's house for a chat on Just Trish. Her character arch needs to be studied because I was NOT a Whitney fan in the first couple seasons of SLOMW. But now she's my favorite one? I even saw her perform on Broadway. When I saw the video of Skims coming to City Creek I thought it was fake. But alas it is true and I am extremely confused that they chose Salt Lake but very happy that they chose Salt Lake. Kylie Jenner has partnered with Meta on some new glasses. At first I was really annoyed because why do we need those. But in this episode you'll see me change my opinion on them. And lastly we discuss the new Miley Cyrus Barbie and how I desperately need it.
