It’s a jam-packed episode of Day One FM to close out August. Before filling out UPS applications, the crew mulls over (read: laments) Hollywood’s determination to “de-age” yesterday’s movie stars and its aversion (or inability) to mint new ones. Plus, we ask why Pop Crave is everywhere, whether or not Fred Again is a nepo baby (and if anyone cares), and did streaming kill the music industry? (yes).

Abrams revealing the Hot Wheels film will be “emotional, grounded, and gritty,” and maybe we’d all just rather see Oppenheimer.
