The Reheat

The O.J. Simpson trial was one of the biggest media spectacles of the ’90s, but O.J. was hardly its only star. This week, we are joined by History of the 90s host Kathy Kenzora to revisit the trial’s unforgettable supporting cast, from Johnnie Cochran and Robert Kardashian to Kris Jenner, professional houseguest Kato Kaelin and the relentlessly scrutinized Marcia Clark. We look at how the so-called trial of the century turned lawyers, witnesses and bystanders into celebrities, whether the media circus helped lay the groundwork for modern reality TV, and whose legacy remains most defined by those surreal months in the courtroom.

In this episode, we’re looking at Hollywood’s long and troubling history with eating disorders, beginning with the tragic story of Karen Carpenter and tracing the parallels between the scrutiny she faced, and the way we talk about celebrity bodies today. From the relentless speculation surrounding Ariana Grande to stars who have spoken openly about their own experiences with disordered eating, we unpack how fame, beauty standards, the entertainment industry and the public’s fixation on thinness can create a dangerous feedback loop, and ask whether, decades after Carpenter’s death, we’ve actually learned how to talk about bodies any better.

This week's Hot Off The Press is a veritable gossip buffet! First, we examine the claims of sexual misconduct levelled at Jared Leto. For the record, we suspected he was a creep back in 2022! We also check in on Ariana Grande's health, as well as her plans to take an extended break from the spotlight. In addition, we dish on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is suddenly so hot again thanks to Zendaya and Tom Holland. And of course, we discuss the negotiations for the Barbie Movie. Listen to us debate whether Warner Brothers will pay Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie what they deserve...or lose the Barbie IP

In this episode from our archives, dating back to 2022, we talk all things Jared Leto, and confront the many assault allegations he is finally facing. Since his breakout teen heartthrob role on My So-Called Life up until the dredge that is Suicide Squad, House of Gucci and Morbius,  Leto and his piercing blue eyes have haunted us, from screen to stage, where he performs with his rock band 30 Seconds to Mars. With years of questionable opinions and ego to match, and rumours of a cult and assault allegations trailing him, we explore just how this actor has continued to prevail, shiny Oscar in hand.

From Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Gossip Girl to an icky lifestyle brand, many celebrity friendships and one of Hollywood’s messiest legal battles, Blake Lively has spent two decades transforming herself from Hollywood ingénue into an increasingly complicated pop-culture figure. This week, we revisit her rise, her romance and carefully cultivated power-couple brand with Ryan Reynolds, the controversies surrounding Preserve and their plantation wedding, and the reported unraveling of her friendship with Taylor Swift. Of course, we also unpack the It Ends With Us fallout, her bitter conflict with Justin Baldoni, and the internet’s dramatic turn against a woman it once loved. We've got a lot to cover, so this week is super-sized!

On this week's episode from our archives, we dove deep into the cultural phenomenon that is Call Her Daddy. We revisit its early Barstool days, the infamous feud between hosts Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn, the multimillion-dollar Spotify deal that changed podcasting forever—and the ongoing debate: is Call Her Daddy empowering women, or simply rebranding patriarchy for clicks? Along the way, we unpack the show's complicated relationship to feminism, internet fame, and the commodification of female sexuality. Plus: the evolution of Alex Cooper from raunchy co-host to media mogul.

This is an emergency episode! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot on July 3rd at MSG, and we have lots of feelings about it! In this bonus installment of The Reheat, we dish about the mysterious gown, the weird venue, the controversial guest list (why wasn't Blake Lively there???), and we address the elephant in the room - will Taylor and Travis release their wedding as a documentary? We think the answer is yes! And of course, we also go off on why it's weird to have Adam Sandler as your wedding officiant. If you have thoughts and feelings about The Wedding of the Summer, you'll want to hear this episode!  

NB. This episode was recorded before we knew why Margaret Qualley was not in attendance at Taylor and Travis' nuptials.

In this week's Hot Off the Press, we stay on the Taylor Swift wedding beat (stay tuned later this week for a full wedding recap), reflect on the tragic death of former child star Daveigh Chase, the announcement of Netflix’s new JonBenet Ramsey limited series starring Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen, and the hilarious new romance between Jussie Smollett and Karamo Brown. We also dig into King Charles’ newly revealed tax bill, the decision not to live in Buckingham Palace after its costly refurbishment, Prince George’s move to Eton, and what all of this says about the economics and optics of modern monarchy. Juicy.

Who says a cold country can't produce hot gossip? To celebrate Canada Day, we're revisiting the sexiest couple Canada has ever produced, Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. We go deep on how this former couple began (they were co-stars who hated each other when they filmed The Notebook). We also luxuriate in how the pair that became known as McGosling eventually gave into that belligerent sexual tension - going from enemies to lovers. Come for our detailed discussion of their sizzling PDA and stay for our thoughts and feelings about their eventual breakup.  This episode will make you sing, "O Canada!"
