Are We Into the 'Barbie' Trailer, Fading Taylor Swift Merch, and a New 'Moana'?

This week, Sam is joined by Vox's Alex Abad-Santos and Rebecca Jennings for the latest on the effort to ban TikTok in the U.S. (and, in the process, break one of The Cut's modern etiquette rules by describing TikToks). We also ask if they're into the new Barbie movie trailer, fading Taylor Swift merch, a Moana remake, and more.

And we hear about the culture that's haunting us: Have you ever thought about Party Down's proximity to the future of our nation's democracy?
