In this episode, Erin Moon joins us for a snake draft of our favorite vampiric lore. Why are vampires elite baseball players? Where are all the blonde vampires? And does never seeing your reflection unlock unshakable confidence? Join us as we draft the rules every vampire franchise should follow to ensure the undead can thrive for all eternity.
In this episode, we recap this week's pop culture news. Join us as we weigh in on the New York Times’ 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century list and lovingly, or aggressively, side-eye its most overrated picks and biggest snubs. Plus, we celebrate the predictable box-office flop of Tom Cruise’s new movie Digger, and discuss whether Anne Hathaway’s recent film run has officially earned her Hollywood’s Championship Belt.
In this episode, we’re handing out superlatives for the upcoming fall TV lineup. Join us as we award the Emmy Master Baiters, The Clear Pepsis, and the Low Key MVPs of fall TV. From buzzy premieres guaranteed an award-show appearance to shows already inspiring irrational optimism, we’re breaking down what actually deserves a spot on your watchlist. Plus, Knox and Jamie share a rare mutual green light.
Our newest collection is your reminder that adaptation is an art form and that sometimes Hollywood simply understood the assignment.
