ANgela BAssett DID THE THING, Jamie Lee is all of us, and your woman kings, Reit, Nick and Jones, Jess have a lot to say about it! After a close read of Ariana DeBose’s BAFTAs rap (featuring selections from Jess’ 7th grade Broadway rap), Nick and Jess break it down. Soft launches versus a hard launches, the celebrity they would have the best banter with on their talk show, and whether or not “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” *actually* leaked.

An episode about Ticketmaster, awards season, the changing entertainment landscape, AND Joshua Bassett doing something alarming? To quote Amy Klobuchar quoting Taylor Swift, we know it “ALL TOO WELL”. Jess speaks truth to black cherry seltzer flavor power, and Nick finally gets his thoughts on “Charlie Bit My Finger” off his chest. Much like Andrea Riseborough’s Oscar nomination, this conversation is full of surprising thoughts and revelations. “Who run the world?” Judgies!
