In The Comments

Halloween is over and we’re ready to rank the internet’s best costumes. Kendall Jenner and Heidi Klum's parties were teeeeeming with stories and looks that actually defied the laws of physics and culture. Some celebrities went gory, some went film bro, and some require like 200 hours of screen time to understand.

Harry Styles might have won this year though, and the lore behind his rat costume actually involves a conspiracy theory?? I love how online this man is.

Then we're covering Sunrise on the Reaping. One of us is a true Hunger Games nerd and the other only quotes The Hunger Games But Better parody. The press tour is eeeeverywhere, we love Mckenna Grace & Joseph Zada on our FYPs so much. 
So for those who AREN'T die hard fans but still want to see the movie, here's everything you need to know about the plot.

Turns out we’ve all been lied to about Haymitch for years??

And Kristen Bell told the world how Dax Shepard flirts with her. We’ve never heard of anyone flirting this way. We're convinced this couple cannot go a single press tour without saying something that makes everyone go... sorry, what?

Strap in superstars, we’ll see you in the comments xx

I hate gay halloween, what do you mean you're the slightly off-putting masc Mona Lisa in our logo. 

Gay halloween is the only thing that matters this week, and we're going through the best niche costumes on our FYP. It's fantastic inspo, if you're not watching this episode you should absolutely take a look at our costumes on our Insta.

Also, why is David Dobrik is back on our FYP? He's still causing havoc, as are the other ex-Vlog Squad members. Remember Todd? Heath? Erin? We're investigating where they've ended up.

Speaking of the vlog squad, Trisha Paytas is at the centre of another huge story captivating the internet this week. Ethan Klein (of H3 podcast fame) is a cheater, womp womp. We all saw this coming, ESPECIALLY Trisha. The resurfaced Frenemies clips speak for themselves...

And 🚨SPOILER 🚨, that 'Nobody Wants This' Season 3 twist was flawless. The show's creator Erin Foster has spoken about show BTS and how the famous scene was based on a true story. Adam Brody's character was literally a man written by a woman and it SHOWS.

GUYS we got our very first ITC EXCLUSIVE on the infamous dating app voice note... a man, his lunch and the most diabolical string of excuses you could imagine ("Farrrrk.... I slept all the way in", you know the one).
We reached out to the creator Hannah and got EXCLUSIVE UPDATES on the situation, and my god. Maybe we'll become journalists or something.

The HBO Girls reboot is on its way, and the internet has been flooded with plot predictions. Where has everyone ended up? Is Adam alive? Is Shosh still in contact with any of the girls? Hannah Horvath is fine, probably. We're ranking our faves and talking about Adam Driver naturally.

Plus, our mate Gabbi Whipps offered to shout her removalist lunch as a thank you. He then ordered enough burgers to feed a small village and send her into debt. WHY DO MEN MAKE SUCH DIABOLICAL DECISIONS.

And a dilemma about a marketplace bargain. Whatever you assume it is, we promise it's better.

Our favourite part of the internet is, of course, the comment section. Our job is literally reacting to and dissecting our FYPs: but we wanted to go a little further this week. 

We're feeling nosey. We're feeling like allll those little commenters hiding behind their Tik Tok profile pictures might have their own drama going on. 

So naturally we took to the streets with a sharpie and a fold out table. 

Did we want an excuse to get gossip from strangers? Yes. You're welcome, we know you want it too. 

Our takeaways include:

• It should be more socially acceptable to ask strangers for their secrets with no context
• Guinea pigs should never, under any circumstances, be left unsupervised
• The book of answers is ALWAYS right 

Should we do this again?? DM us your crazy stories and we'll call you on next week's episode 👀

Love you superstars, see you in the comments xxxx

Wait lol I don't think that's the game.

We're breaking down this week on the internet, so give your thumbs a rest from scrolling and picture the glimmer in Richard E. Grant's eyes to calm your soul.

There are 3 things we have to cover:

1. Jake Shane. You probably love him, you've definitely consumed his content at some point, but is his internet persona a facade? We realised today that we miiiight not know the successful 20-something as well as we thought we did. 
2. Sir Richard E. Grant is on the new season of Celebrity Traitors and holy moly if we didn't already adore him, we sure do now. He's got this interesting way of using social media that we want to examine, because we don't think anyone can truly replicate it. 
3. Plus: Aliens are real and no one is talking about it. GUYS. The CIA literally confirmed that they found aliens (allegedly) and no one gives a f*ck. One of us is a skeptic and the other is fully ready to embrace interplanetary travel. 

Aaaand a listener story that poses the question: Did he ghost me, or is he just in jail?

Okay so.

We had this whole dating episode ready to go, but then Taylor Swift pulled some weird shit... so bare with us while we digest The Encore in real time. TLDR: we will not be rushing to Cleveland any time soon. 

Back to scheduled programming, 🔥 OUR DATING LIVES 🔥(dm us if you're single haha jk or not idk).

We're telling our worst dating stories which include:

• An Irish MMA fighter
• A man on house arrest
• and... Adam Driver? From Girls?

And we asked you, our beautiful Superstars, for your dating dilemmas on Tik Tok. The video went viral and we got some crazy (and concerning) questions. 

Like, "The guy I'm seeing is a conspiracy theorist who believes dinosaurs still exist. But he's hot. Do I keep him around or nah?"

and

"My boyfriend keeps giving me the ick. There's no question really. I want to break up with him, pls tell me if I'm a terrible person."

Cool. So.

It's time we talk about our architectural digest obsession, specifically the bizarre celebrity stories that have surfaced as a result of the interviews.

E.g. Katy Perry allegedly got in a fight with the Catholic Church because she wanted to buy a convent from them, and tried to show them her Jesus tattoo to seal the deal. They probably said "tutt tutt Ms Perry, you kissed a girl and we did not like it".  

Also, an investigation into the one man behind every iconic celebrity rebrand: we're talking Sabrina Carpenter, Emma Chamberlin, Owen Thiele... the list goes on. Who is Jared Ellner, and more importantly, what is the catalyst for these rebrands?

And our new favourite show, Last Man On Earth. What would YOU do if you were the last person on earth? Would you steal sh*t? Walk around naked? Would you, like, try and repopulate the earth? 

Finally, the Youtube to SNL pipeline. Kidding — that's very Grace Reiter specific —but the path to fame looks more and more attainable with every indie film nominated for an Emmy.
Liv Colman thinks she's cracked the secret: skits are the way to Hollywood. And her theory points to one specific duo making videos in their living room who are about to blow up.

Is this our sign to cast ourselves in something?? (Pls say yes) (we sing a lot in this episode) (we were going to call it 'The Musical Episode' but we didn't want Matthew Morrison affiliations).

You've seen the Sydney Sweeney ad by now. You've read and watched and listened to the backlash and you've likely felt the disappointment of the Suffragettes slowly crushing your soul. 

But we've just discovered something that no one is talking about: Sydney allegedly approached THEM with the idea. What the actual f*ckkkkk bro. 

On today's episode of In The Comments, we're unpacking Sydney Sweeney's motivations. As much as we want to pin this on Sam Levinson or Scooter Braun, is there really an invisible hand to blame? Or is she firmly in control?

Also the juicy financial details, including how much she ACTUALLY made from this campaign. 

Other things on the show today: 

• Nathan Fielder is back in the zeitgeist with his Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything. It's dropping next month and here's what you need to know about the documentarian behind the vision to prepare. Spoiler alert: this is NOT going to be a normal documentary.
• The Gentlemen has us in a chokehold this week. Shall we start a Theo James fan account...
• And do you know those fake phone calls you can play when you're in a ride share or walking alone? We've prepped some of our own versions. They include a prison release, an ankle monitor, and multiple celebrity impressions.

You might've opened social media over the weekend and thought, "Why is Alix Earle EVERYWHERE". Same dude. Her new reality show Earle Meets World came out on Netflix and if you haven't already seen it, allow Liv James to save 8 hours of your life. Her family is genuinely insane. Move over Kardashians, the influencer families are coming for you. 

Also Burning Man happened and no one cared. Have we all deemed it a bit millennial? Yes. Did you guys know that they ACTUALLY burn a man? It's quite impressive the amount of insanity they cram into a week in the desert, and we have some absolutely INSANE stories to tell from previous years. 

And a festival with a slightly different target audience: The Venice Film festival. Robert Pattinson we love you and your shenanigans <3 But also Phoebe Bridgers pics!! That dress. Holy. Sh*t. 

And a listener encounter with Dolly Parton, may she rest in peace. We remember Dolly and hear about the time our listener, a journalist, walked in on her hotel room (iconic).

It's buzzcut season, and the bald heads in Hollywood are multiplying. First it was Haaland, the Olympic viking. Then Connor Storrie of Heated Rivalry fame. WHO WILL BREAK OUR HEARTS NEXT. 

Other hyper-fixations this week include:

• Meg Stalter (and Lena Dunham)
• The great migration.
• Relatedly, wildebeest. 
• Male celebrities who carry designer handbags.

Also Liv Colman got prank called by a nun. Yes. You read that right. We investigate who this mystery voice mail belongs to (spoiler alert, it's a nun). 

And everything you must outgrow by 25, according to a stranger on the internet and Liv James.
