We're back - dissecting a profile of Awkwafina OR Nora Lum, depending on who's speaking, whose project it is -- and what each 'name' is allowed to do. We dive into how 'stage' names help and hinder, and what it means when one becomes the dominant name? We even dive into 'Lainey' vs Elaine, and which is used when. Then, we discuss cast chemistry -- what it looks like, how to create it -- and what happens to shows and movies when it doesn't exist.

We saved Mariah's, uh, 'literary triumph' for December, since she owns Christmas -- but the jury's out on whether she owns other things, like coherent writing, BDE, or any sense of humility. Plus 'Big Mouth' and 'SNL' tackled the Red Wave of tween periods in two very different ways -- is one better than another, or do both signal a Red Wave of period acceptance?
