The Devil Wears Prada 2 is out and so ofc we had to review it on today’s show! From how the sequel compares to the 2006 cult classic to Vogue’s piggy-backing of the promo cycle, we’re diving into its very timely depiction of billionaire influence over fashion and the decline of glossy magazines – arriving in the exact same week the Met Gala faced backlash over its Bezos ties. Like Miranda Priestly, does Anna Wintour have a master plan? Plus: the return of The Celebrity Traitors, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have settled out of court and our thoughts on Matthew Rhys’ hit new comedy horror Widow’s Bay.
