Lowbrow

This summer we are curating your Lowbrow podcast playlist bringing you the insanely popular and always funny - brutally honest reviews from our friends on The Spill. Enjoy!

Today we’re breaking our own rules to bring you a brutally honest review of We Were Liars. It didn’t just drop — but the amount of DMs we’ve had from Spill listeners demanding this ep was too wild to ignore.

We unpack the chaotic characters, the eerie mystery at the heart of it all, and the twist that left people gasping (spoiler alert: we have thoughts). Plus, the nepo baby casting you might’ve missed and the sneaky easter eggs that hinted at the ending all along.

This one’s messy, dramatic and full of opinions — just how you like it.

You asked, we delivered. Ever since Lena Dunham’s new Netflix series Too Much dropped, Spillers have been sliding into our DMs dying to hear what Laura and Em think… and today, we’re going deep.

We unpack how the show draws from Lena’s real life, how it stacks up against Girls, and why it’s not really the rom-com it’s being marketed as. From the scenes we loved to the ones that completely wrecked us (yes, one of us cried), it’s a brutally honest review with zero filter.

Whether you loved it or are still unsure what you just watched, this is the post-watch debrief you didn’t know you needed.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 20 years since the first Twilight book hit shelves—how has it been that long?! In this episode, we’re taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane to one of the cult books that shaped a generation.

The White Lotus is over for another season which means it’s time for a Brutally Honest Review!
In this episode we talk about the casting choice the creators were most nervous about, the important scenes that were cut and the best and worst moments from the entire season.

We also say what no one else would about that viral incest scene, talk about the most misunderstood storyline in the series and admit we love the most problematic character who appeared on screen.

From hidden details in the final scene to how the cast really behaved off camera, this is The White Lotus review you’ve been waiting for.

This week, we’re diving pom-poms first into Season 2 of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and let’s just say, it’s not all rhinestones and high kicks.

In our brutally honest review, we break down the fights these women took on behind the scenes, from their long-overdue push for better pay, to the toll of representing one of the most iconic (and controlling) sports brands in the world.

Yes, there’s been progress, but we’re also talking about the areas where the system still gets it wrong, especially when it comes to diversity, body image, and the pressure to be "perfect."

We unpack the surprising twists, the darker moments you might not expect, and the very real power dynamics at play, on and off the field.

Plus, Ksenija shares her insider scoop from the modelling world, drawing some striking (and frankly disturbing) parallels between runway life and the DCC machine: the unattainable beauty standards, the constant critiques, and the pressure to smile through it all.

Clueless turns 30 this week (yes, thirty) and there was simply no way we weren’t going to mark the occasion. Today’s episode is a brutally honest (and very loving) review of the cult classic that defined a generation.

We’re diving into everything from how the film came to be, the chaotic casting process, and the real-life stories behind the most iconic scenes and one-liners.

We also unpack why the film hits so damn hard, reveal the scenes we still quote weekly, and discuss how we genuinely don’t remember life before seeing Clueless. Because honestly, do you know one person who hasn't watched it? So sit back, strap in and get ready for a 90s nostalgia ride.

You know we love a rom-com here at The Spill — and one of the biggest shows in the world has returned for Season 2, taking us from swoon-worthy confessions to the brutal reality of what happens after the honeymoon phase.In this season, we find Joanne and Noah navigating the chaos of real love — diving into what happens beyond the meet-cute montage.

We're also unpacking Joanne and Morgan's iconic sister relationship - the tangled dynamic of being best friends, business partners, and podcasters whose dramatic moments rival the romantic story arcs.We unpack everything from the moments that made us melt to the ending that, let’s just say, the internet (and us) had a lot of feelings about.And, we share a few sneaky behind-the-scenes details about how Nobody Wants This came to be, and one very interesting casting process.

So, is Season 2 still the sharp, heartfelt rom-com we fell for — or has the spark officially faded? We give you our brutally honest review.

If this show was new we'd be cancelling it for real but thankfully Friends began in the 90's where literally anyone's idea in the writers room was approved. 

We won't be putting the actors on the stand. However, we are welcoming the creators, Ross, Rachel, Joey, Chandler, Monica and Phoebe to the Cancelled courtroom.

Should a fake fat Monica and a very creepy Ross be the reason we stop watching Friends?

Also, you might have missed some of the weird sex stuff that went on across 10 seasons, like when one character tried to hook up with their cousin. 

A LIST OF EVERYONE WE'VE CANCELLED ALONG THE WAY: 
7th “Stop Trying To Be The Bible” Heaven 
Timothée Chalamet
The “Ryan Gosling’s Face Is Too Hot” Notebook
The Olympics
Drew Barrymore
It Ends With Us Drama
Bennifer
Lady Gaga
