Happy Thursday, you pop culture junkies! This week, Brooke talks about Kendrick Lamar’s earth-shattering performance at the Super Bowl. If you’ve seen any negative press — and Brooke explains why it might be in your feeds — ignore it. There are too many Easter Eggs to uncover, but she does a deep dive into some of the symbolism and meaning behind the performance. But also…. The Jeans! Thanks to Kendrick and Celine, the brand behind the $1,200 viral jeans, bootcut jeans (or flares, however you see them), are back in style. There’s lots of Super Bowl talk, but obviously, Kendrick was the star of the show. Brooke also gives an update on the American woman in Pakistan and all the drama over at Poppi. Buckle up!
