Welcome to Podround, a by-fans-for-fans production curating the best episodes from across the internet!
In this episode, we sidestep from our Royal podcasts to explore four distinct podcast perspectives on the upcoming Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni trial. Stemming from acrimonious litigation over the 2024 film It Ends With Us, this legal battle has evolved into a high-stakes showdown involving retaliation claims, media narratives, and celebrity reputation management. We’re rounding up the expert insights you need to understand the legal strategies and emotional impact of this Hollywood drama.
- Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa: Journalist Kjersti Flaa dives deep into unsealed texts and the "untold stories" behind the fame and power dynamics at play.
- Popcorned Planet with Andy Signore: A focused look at the courtroom proceedings, including recent rulings where the judge dismissed 10 out of 13 of Lively's initial claims.
- Hot Mics with Billy Bush: Billy Bush examines the staggering financial cost of this legal fight and how both sides are preparing as the May 2026 court date approaches.
- Daily Dose of Dana with Dana Bowling: Dana breaks down the public image "spin" and why efforts to reach a settlement have repeatedly failed, leading the co-stars toward a public trial.
