I am back after a very long yet unexpected hiatus, and The Cultured Club just got a whole lot more chaotic—because my sister Samantha is here! 👯‍♀️ From pink vs. blue sister roles (were you the “responsible one” or the “chaos one”?), to reliving our Y2K childhood nostalgia (Webkinz, Barbies, Twilight, you name it), we’re diving deep into all things sisterhood.

But that’s not all—we’re talking the HUGE news that It Happened One Summer is officially becoming a movie (with Nina Dobrev & Tyler Hoechlin as Piper and Brendan 👀), plus Netflix’s wild new thriller The Hunting Wives that has us absolutely screaming.

And because we can’t resist some friendly competition, we’re putting our knowledge (and patience) to the test with an F1-inspired “Sisters Circuit” quiz AND a hilarious “Love it or Leave it: Sister Edition” game that gets surprisingly heated.

It’s messy, it’s nostalgic, it’s chaotic—but it’s also one of the most fun episodes yet. 💖

In Episode 7 of The Cultured Club, we’re reviewing the Passionflix adaptation of The Black Dagger Brotherhood — and yes, we’re still swooning. Then we’re diving full throttle into the drama of the 2025 Formula 1 season, unpacking the shocking mid-season exit of Red Bull Racing's Christian Horner and the wild rumors about his next move.But it’s not all bloodlust and pit stops — I also get real for a moment about burnout, expectations, and the pressure of trying to keep it all together. It’s a little messy, but hey — so is life. 💛We wrap it all up with some casting news that has fanfic lovers screaming: The Love Hypothesis, born from Kylo Ren and Rey fanfiction, is officially being made into a movie with Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman (aka Daisy Ridley’s real-life husband). You can’t make this stuff up. Actually... someone did.So grab your tea (or something stronger), and come hang!!🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts + subscribe for weekly cozy chaos.✨Links in bio✨TikTok: @lauren___elizabeth__Instagram: @lauren___elizabeth__YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@UCsB64escwJG7EwoXBzXPQSwSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ThCnU0DHJMLTwQswjy72L?si=d64881f98398469eApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cultured-club/id1816462065

Buckle up, besties — Glinda’s bubble didn’t crash the internet, but everything else on June 5th sure did. Lauren kicks things off with an emotional deep dive into the Wicked: For Good trailer, aka the Avengers: Endgame for theater kids, and yes, she cried (again). Then we spiral into the unexpected breakup of the month — Trump and Elon — and the truly unhinged internet response that deserves its own museum wing. Plus, Sabrina Carpenter dropping Manchild on the same day? Coincidence? Not in this club.

Then, Lauren mourns the shocking departure of fashion icon and Giggly Squad queen Paige DeSorbo from Summer House, and finally, the BookTok girlies rise!! We’re unpacking the chaotic joy of the Mindf*ck and Rose Hill adaptations in the works, with a few cautionary tales along the way. (Looking at you, ACOTAR.) It’s a cultural fever dream — and you’re invited.✨ New episodes weekly!

This week on The Cultured Club, Lauren grabs her mic and her emotional support Stanley to break down some very important cultural chaos. First up? Zak Bagans — ghost hunter turned heartbreaker — is making headlines for allegedly haunting the Vegas dating scene after tragically cheating on his longtime partner, Holly Madison. (Sir, the only thing scarier than the spirits you summon is your behavior. 👻💔)

Then, she takes on the Hat of the Summer that’s somehow dividing the internet more than pineapple on pizza, and ends with a Smart Girl Rec that’s full of mystery, drama, and vibes that’ll make you want to Google everything about it immediately.

If you love gossip with your girl dinner, pop culture with a pulse, and just a touch of cozy mystery, this episode is your perfect match. Welcome to The Cultured Club — where the tea is always hot and the opinions are never haunted.
