This week we're joined by Michael Grassi, writer and Co-EP on 'Riverdale', and showrunner of the CW's upcoming spinoff, 'Katy Keene' (starring Lucy Hale, natch!) Michael gets real about teen actor chemistry, being a Canadian in an American room, and why writing is always uncomfortable (and keeps getting harder). Plus, find out which of the lessons he learned on the 'Katy' pilot is going straight onto Lainey's shirt.

Chrissy, Royals, Bennifer

Discussions of In The Heights focus on the star power of Anthony Ramos, the joy of summer in the city on a big screen -- and the fact that the actual Washington Heights is dominated by Afro-Latinx people, who don't have *any* presence in the film's many lead roles. It's not 'cancel culture' to discuss the casting decisions made by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jon M Chu that got the film to this point. The critique, the implications - and the impact on the "good guy" careers.

In Which Heights, Exactly?

Everything is coming up Kathryn Hahn. Did you always know? Or do you just know now? Same goes for Renée Elise Goldsberry. On this episode we discuss making it later. And if there are benefits to non-ingenue fame and success. If so… what are they?

Kathryn Hahn Has Been Here

Unbelievably, the best-ever 'concert' film - actually an intimate (if highly-produced) diary of Madonna at Peak Superstar -- is 30 years old. We discuss how it shaped a generation, what still resonates decades later, Madonna's strategic exhibition and exploitation of other people's stories (and the parts that were clearly not calculated), and why it marks a turning point for the way gay culture was seen in media. We also touch on the specific shame of our specific geographic connection to Truth or Dare's most embarrassing plotline...

Truth or Dare is 30 - & Dirty?

But eventually we get to business - could these COVID-styled Oscars have been any better? What were the unforced errors, and what could possibly have been done to avoid them? Plus, we show our work in a deeply petty argument that delights us both.
