We’re diving into Prime’s latest incestuous Wattpad disaster, Tell Me Softly, a movie where the subtitles and dubbing are fighting their own civil war. But before we brave the rain-soaked drama, we simply must celebrate the Heated Rivalry Season 2 announcement and dissect the new Supergirl trailer.

On this week's date, we start with a heavy pop culture debrief. We obsess over the Heated Rivalry boys finally getting the respect their bums deserve, Millie Alcock’s chaotic energy in the Supergirl trailer, and Paul Feig teasing a new ending for The Housemaid. Plus, we check the Oscars shortlist where Wicked and Sinners are leading the pack, and K-pop Demon Hunters scores a surprise song nomination.

Then, we get into Tell Me Softly, a Spanish teen drama where everyone is obsessed with a trauma bond from when they were ten. We try to figure out why Taylor keeps a copy of the Kama Sutra in his bedroom, why Thiago is allowed to run school trips with zero supervision, and why the male gaze in this movie is so intense it practically needs its own credit. We also discuss the baffling dubbing choices, the milkshake power play that wasn’t, and why Julian the incel is the scariest character in the franchise.

Tell Me Softly (Dímelo bajito) Kamila Hamilton had everything under control... or so she thought. Seven years ago, Thiago was the one who gave her her first kiss, and Taylor was the one who always protected her. Now, the Di Bianco brothers have returned to turn her world upside down again. Director: Denis Rovira Starring: Alicia Falcó, Fernando Lindez, Diego Vidales
