I'm Screaming!

Here's what you need to know - Zoom was an absolute BITCH to us this episode so if we're a little MANIC, that's why! Starting off with a classic What We're Watching - Lovecraft Country, Rebecca, The Queen's Gambit, The Witches, etc. Then we chat MUSIC - Positions slaps and we're hype again for Ari's new album but we NEED Little Mix's team to get it together with the promo for Confetti. We dedicate an entire scream to how hot Harry Styles is - it's just a fact and then finally chat The Bachelorette and our thoughts on Clare. Our #1 scream is dedicated to every Marvel actor who decided to defend Chris Pratt for being the worst - CLOWNS! And our Go Girl, Give Us Nothing! this week goes to the one and only Blake Lively for her creative solution to a....weird problem. 

Another week, another roundup of the Top Five Most Scream-worthy moments in Pop Culture! We're giving you a What We're Watching roundup - Someone Has To Die, BlackPink Light Up The Sky, The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Trial of the Chicago 7, etc! Then we ask the age old question - What IS IT about Timothee Chalamet that has the whole world in love? SNL - is it a rough patch? Or is it just irrelevant? Plus Adele is hosting...but not performing? Are we really ready for new music from Ariana Grande? And finally, we recite the age old spell - DO NOT VOTE FOR KANYE WEST. 

Back on Tuesday - the best day!! We are giving you a MAJOR new music roundup - Blackpink! Dagny! Shawn Mendes! and more! Meg gives Gisele a preview of what she can expect from the newest Netflix sensation - Emily In Paris - and we discuss celebrities who monetize their Close Friends on Instagram (we're looking at you Ian Somerhalder). Then - shocker of the century!! - we give Megan The Stallion her flowers once again for being her iconic self! Finally we let out all of our frustrations over Chris Pratt's latest Instagram post.

We are giving you a full in-depth 2020 Emmys recap! From the Schitt's Creek sweep to Watchmen & Succession to Zendaya making history, we cover it ALL! Then we dive into the latest Marvel news - WandaVision is coming! So is She-Hulk! And Falcon & Winter Soldier....eventually! We chat Ellen's new season and the way she addressed THE scandal, Lady Gaga getting back to her music video roots for 911, and the shocking arrest of Jerry Harris, the breakout star of Netflix's Cheer. 

REMINDER TO ENTER OUR REVIEW CONTEST THAT ENDS 9/21!!!! This week we're sharing our top five again. We talk the Rebecca trailer, the Dune trailer and the Oscars new standards for diversity. We say SAYONARA to Keeping Up with the Kardashians, drag the couple that's been spotted on every inch of the island of Manhattan - Jacob Elordi & Kaia Gerber, and discuss the crazy new Bachelor drama. Finally we talk THAT leaked camera roll and the double standard of the internet rallying to defend Chris Evans in its aftermath. Let's show that same respect for women shall we?!!

We welcome back friends of the pod and the other two corners of our cute lil square...THE Girlypops of Distinction - Vera Hanson & Peter Herron. And this is an ICONIQUE episode. We rank our Top 5 male and female presenting celeb crushes. It's a wild ride featuring odes to Robert Pattinson, Daveed Diggs, Janelle Monae, Zendaya, Jake Borelli, Dev Patel, Michael B. Jordan, Meghan Markle and more! 

We're switching it up a little this week and sharing our Top 5 Screams of the Week. We do a VMA deep dive recap, talk the movies we're watching & anticipating (SPOILER ALERT: MEG HAS SEEN TENET), congratulate Ariana Grande on her incredible achievement of 200 million followers on Instagram but also address the elephant in the room, discuss THAT Adele photo, and pay tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. 

Quite a long episode we have for you this week! We deep dive into celebrities and their relationships and breakups  - How much privacy can celebrities demand during their breakups if they’ve invited the world into their relationship? How much weight do we put on the actions of young Tiktok stars like Charli D’Amelio who live in the spotlight and have a huge following but are still growing up?

Gisele asks the question we’re all wondering about - who will be on the September cover of Vogue? How will Ms. Wintour rise to the occasion of this tumultuous time we’re living in?

We discuss Paris Hilton’s revealing new documentary, Drew Barrymore (remember her?)’s dead grandfather, Lori Loughlin’s easy way out, and whether Lady Gaga’s Chromatica album rollout was everything it could’ve been.

Finally - a conversation about the lack of accountability in our society through the lens of the latest celebrity stories. From an Ana de Armas Stan account on Twitter calling the actress out for her lack of attention to social issues to the horrible disrespect of Megan Thee Stallion and disgusting displays of toxic masculinity on social media since she confirmed it was Tory Lanez who shot her, these conversations are important and challenging but we'll never stop having them!
