From chaos on the yellow carpet to chaos in the celebrity press cycle, Kate and Tansy are back to dissect another week of pop culture that has us laughing, yelling, and side-eyeing Bezos.

They dive into:

• The terrifying moment Ariana Grande was rushed at the Wicked premiere and why empathy isn’t parasocial

• North West’s finger dermal piercing (is it punk, painful or pure chaos?)

• The Vanity Fair all-male Hollywood cover: where are the women?

• Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez taking over the Met Gala and what that means for the future of fashion’s biggest night

• Dick Van Dyke as Bond? Yes, that almost happened

• Sabrina Carpenter cast as Alice in Wonderland, Usher in the club, and whether we’re finally entering camp musical era

• Plus, theatre recommendations (with wigs), migraine TikTok hacks, and a brief spiritual moment about ear pressure points 🧝‍♀️

It’s smart, unfiltered and deeply unserious. Just the way you like it.
