Hi pals,
In this week’s ep, we have a catch-up about Maggie’s travels to China after a little hiatus and what our summer plans are.
In pop culture land, two big stories have dominated the entertainment news cycle. We first chat about Matthew Perry’s tragic death at just 54. We share our thoughts on the parasocial mourning of his famous character and how he really wanted to be remembered.
Next, Britney Spears’ memoir, The Woman In Me has raced to the top of the book charts and Jas has gobbled it up. We share the biggest talking points from the memoir and why Justin Timberlake better watch his back. (Kidding, kinda).
On account of us missing last week’s ep, we share two recommendations each. First up is Jas’ with Is Taylor Swift Impossible To Critique by Naina Yadav for The Swaddle. We share our thoughts on 1989 TV and her up-level to billionaire status. Maggie also references the new book by Shameless Media, 4AM featuring columns by columnists including your gal, Maggie! Buy it here.
Jas has also been loving The Bear season two on Disney+ (sorry, so late to the party).
Maggie has been watching teen dramedy Netflix show Everything Now and listening to the podcast, Believable: The Coco Berthmann Story about an internet-famous woman who tricked the world into thinking she had cancer.
It would be irresponsible and wrong of us to release an episode on celebrity news without us mentioning the most tragic world news of the last month; the Israel/ Palestine conflict. We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and are holding space for our Muslim and Jewish listeners and friends. Please educate yourself and stay up to date via reputable news sources. We can’t look away now.
