Book Review: Careless People, Part 1 - Shark Attack, Perilous Travel, and Organ Donation
12 april 2025 · 1 uur 8 min
The whistleblowing book written by former Facebook executive Sarah Wynn-Williams is as explosive and shocking as expected, maybe more so. The author reveals personal stories that shaped her world-view and explains her conviction and hope to use her life to affect positive change. That same hope led her to pursue a career at a social technology company she seemingly envisioned as a champion for humanity. From there, she takes us with her into executive level meetings, haphazard trips abroad, and interactions with various staff that each provide startling enlightenment into the inner workings of a company with access to sensitive information about people around the globe. Due to revelations within this book, U.S. Senators are currently looking into Facebook's alleged collusion with foreign governments. Regardless of its entertainment value, Sarah may have accomplished her goal of affecting positive change. BONUS: a side quest refresher of the promising middle-aged man, Brett Kavanaugh Lees meer

Recap: RHOBH Reunion Part 2 (Uncensored & Extended)
10 april 2025 · 1 uur
Sutton and Kyle are the main focuses of Part 2 as Dorit laments how each offended her, or let her down, throughout the season, as Erika and/or Boz nod approvingly throughout. After a lengthy and exhaustive back and forth, Kyle finally apologizes for her combative stance about texting PK with a pledge of loyalty. Sutton gets chided by everyone for daring to flex her wealth in the "wallet" comment heard 'round the caviar tasting. Dorit unleashes a self-righteous tirade on Sutton, doling out smugly stated life lessons between low blows. Kathy and Jennifer Tilly join the group and continue to bring a much needed dose of comedy and positivity into an otherwise bleak environment. Andy gets honorable mention for stepping up to call out a few illogical statements, and for pointing out a few obvious arguments against Kyle getting upset with anyone mentioning MORGAN WADE a.k.a. those we now don't speak of.

Roasting the Broligarchy: HandsOff Protest, Tariff Troubles, and the Importance of Mocking Regimes
9 april 2025 · 1 uur 10 min
From the nationwide Hands Off Protest, where over 5 million people made their voices heard, to a whiney billionaire realizing the limits of his wealth and influence, and a record-breaking speech before the Senate, this past chaotic week had a silver lining. With a new/old tariff policy in effect, the country is re-learning why taxing our allies and largest import partners alike isn't great for the economy, no matter what an invisible man thinks. Meanwhile, we continue to see libraries, museums, art, government websites, education departments, and public broadcast channels targeted for censorship and revisionist history as U.S. residency and citizenship are marketed Willy Wonka style via a golden ticket. HHS firings, illegal deportations, retaliatory acts, and making sure Mel Gibson is armed are some of the current priorities for a warped administration. Lees meer

Chatting About Beverly Hills and Atlanta with Kiki Monique
6 april 2025 · 1 uur 12 min
The lovely and talented Kiki Monique, a.k.a. @thetalkofshame, joins this pod to discuss Beverly Hills Reunion Part 1 and this week's shocking Atlanta episode that revealed Kenya's motivation to check new cast member, Brit, in a way that led to Kenya being removed from the show. After reviewing an angry, late-night DM incident from Dorit's estranged husband to our fellow creator Emily Hanks, we delve into how misplaced newbie ambitions derailed what was meant to be a top-tier Atlanta cast. Then, we get into the "ordacity" of Erika Girardi coming for Garcelle, Kyle's off-camera life, and the psychology of Sutton. BONUS: Explaining the real story behind Erika being featured on a Brooke Candy song used in the film, Anora, and how that sad tale is one the Bravosphere has seen before. Lees meer

Recap: RHOBH Reunion Part 1 - Extended & Uncut Version
3 april 2025 · 1 uur 10 min
If Part one is any indication, this reunion bundle is going to be painful to watch. The separate factions mentality of the group continues to outshine any other dynamic. The majority take issue with Sutton and Garcelle throughout, labelling them as "mean girls" while lamenting their reign of terror - despite it being a connection forged from being pushed to the outskirts of the group across past seasons. Garcelle is singled out by almost everyone, for any perceived slight or insult, most of which resulted from her bravery in asking real questions on a show where much of the cast would prefer to ignore their issues. After learning that Dorit only came back because Lisa Rinna convinced her, I'm even more sure that the old cliques have to be broken apart in order for BH to regain its status as an exciting franchise.

Roasting the Broligarchy: Unrequited Desire for Greenland, Breaking Wisconsin Election Laws, and Awakening the Alien Enemies Act
1 april 2025 · 1 uur 17 min
As the country waits to see if the approximately $80-100 million the broligarchy spent trying to sway voters in Wisconsin's judicial election pays off, breaking their election laws in the process, we review other major news of the past week. That includes an ill-fated trip to Greenland, news of Twitter's sale, a mini-exodus from Yale professors, the importance of due process, an update on the Signal text chain, plus ABC/Disney learning that a bully is never satisfied. BONUS: Why Dolly Parton is the best, and a warped Sesame Street episode Lees meer

Book Review: 'Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men'
29 maart 2025 · 1 uur 7 min
The first installment in the "Low Pressure Book Club Series" is a review of 'Why Does He Do That?' by Lundy Bancroft. Packed with helpful lists of warning signs, debunked excuses, and key signs of abuse, this book was written to provide insight into the minds of men who don't respect their partners. Throughout, I work to explain unacceptable behaviors by comparing them to similar ones displayed by men on Bravo. The author relies on his 30+ years of counseling men to identify contributing factors and presents a path to change that relies solely on the angry man reaching a point where that anger no longer serves him. Lees meer
Unfortunately, this review begins by discussing recently shared allegations by several women that say Lundy weaponized that same extensive counseling experience to prey upon their vulnerabilities. As a result, a book that presents a thesis that abusers are made, not born, now serves as a helpful guide in more ways than its author intended.

Recap: RHOBH Finale Part 2 - S14E17, plus Girardi Legal Updates
28 maart 2025 · 53 min
After an update on more blowback from Boz and Erika's 'Watch What Happens Live' digs at Garcelle's departure, the final moments of the finale are summarized. Mid-recap, I delay this pod by taking a break after hearing Erika still describe Tom as an accomplished lawyer. Then, a review of news from 2024 about Dorit and PK's pre-foreclosure from four months of missed house payments, on top of previously reported tax liens. Plus, updated legal info about two major lawsuits facing Erika, Tom's sentencing, and my recommendation on casting to save the franchise from clique fakery. BONUS: Recalling key hellish moments Garcelle withstood to be on this show. Lees meer

Recap: RHOBH Finale Part 1, S14E17 - A Caribbean Send Off
27 maart 2025 · 54 min
This extended finale required a two-part recap. We pick up on Sutton's trial at sea and shift into birthday dinner gear for Erika and Dorit. Sutton's delayed appearance, and hesitance to join, is a topic of conversation as Jennifer Tilly tries in vain to help her friend navigate a situation that neither feel like she can win. Garcelle finally approaches Kyle about not sticking up for Sutton, but her choice to teach Sutton a lesson by also not standing up for her on the boat leaves that critique falling flat. Meanwhile, Dorit and Erika continue to be the two off-base friends nodding and telling each other "exactly" as Boz works to connect with Sutton while appearing to lean further and further into clique territory. Kathy's all out of F's to give this episode, giving me the giggles and starting a new ice bag accessory trend. Lees meer

Roasting The Broligarchy: Detainment Chaos, Feckless Law firms, and Mishandling Sensitive Information
26 maart 2025 · 1 uur 17 min
The purpose of this new spin-off pod is to look back at the week and review the most horrifying and cringe-worthy political moves and blunders from America’s Broligarchy era. Much of it is serious but some of it is absolute idiocy, either way, the hope is that you walk away knowing more about current political events after listening. All sources of information are listed on the Patreon. Lees meer
There's never a dull day in the Broligarchy but the past week was one for the history books. Between the move to begin dismantling the Department of Education after selling Tesla's on the White House lawn, to seeing prestigious law firms acquiesce, then hearing about for-profit detention center horror stories, listening to a leaked audio that's allegedly of the VP, and then learning about an unbelievably massive security breach via cell phone, all while a once-bold billionaire does his best Ruprecht character work, it's been a doozy.

Deep Dive: It Ends With Us, Part 16.5 - Lawsuit Updates and a Texas TikTok Tale
22 maart 2025 · 1 uur 5 min
A review of multiple motions to dismiss, a denial to delay discovery, and new provocative lawyer statements. Ryan Reynold's legal team responds to the Nicepool character as well as allegations that Ryan referred to Justin Baldoni as a "sexual predator" in their motion to dismiss as Blake's team cites a new California law as the basis for dismissing Justin's countersuit. Meanwhile, PR people Leslie Sloane and Stephanie Jones continue to wade through several legal proceedings. Finally, I summarize a TikTok tale posted by a woman who says she crossed paths with Blake Lively in Waco, Texas at a boutique hotel owned by Joanna Gaines. Lees meer

Recap: RHOBH S14E16 - Sutton on Trial At Sea
19 maart 2025 · 59 min
The trip to Saint Lucia kicks off with a confrontational dinner, followed by a confrontational catamaran ride. The close friendship between Garcelle and Sutton is tested throughout as Garcelle bristles seeing Sutton defend Kyle and ultimately decides to let Sutton stand alone when fielding critiques. Jennifer Tilly and Kathy continue to bring levity even if it's questionable whether Kathy knows who Jennifer is. Erika makes a point of airing both new and old grievances towards Sutton throughout the episode and Boze finally gets the chance to observe Dorit in action. Lees meer

Recap: RHOBH S14E15 - Trouble in Paradise
13 maart 2025 · 57 min
As the ladies prepare to leave for a lavish vacation in Saint Lucia, we see Kyle and Dorit finally meet with their party-going separated husbands to discuss delicate matters. Kyle psychologically prompts hers to bring up photos of him smooching a younger woman while Dorit defers to hers as to the status of their relationship. Boze has her new man over for dinner with her daughter, Sutton and Garcelle discuss the ongoing rift with Dorit, Erika continues to make off-base comparisons and showcase her rental decor, Kathy shows us she keeps her hair extensions in plastic sandwich bags, Jennifer Tilly calls out the clique-is behavior of the group, and Dorit does the worst Sutton voice I've ever heard.

Deep Dive: It Ends With Us, Part 16 - All Y'all Fake
11 maart 2025 · 1 uur 21 min
A rapid-fire rundown of random inconsistencies, omissions, and public manipulations from both sides. From learning more about promo videos, hype articles, and pettiness, to staying focused about what does and does not matter for trial, this dive addresses an amalgamation of distractions and conundrums. Ultimately, my opinion is that each party has been their own worst enemy by undercutting their own assertions and losing the thing they both want more than any amount of money - public trust. The trial next year will be a circus but I hope those who can see through all the current noise will then be able to see through any courtroom spin. Lees meer

Dorit has an awkward lunch with Garcelle, Kathy continues to provide cringeworthy comedic relief, Jennifer Tilly continues to be quirky and likeable, and Erika continues to drag out her storyline of redecorating to an extreme that would make Monique proud.

A political deep dive to review where the country is at after the first 40 days of the latest administration. A look at key players and apparent leaders, executive orders, and other actions of note. Bravo references and jokes are peppered throughout a brain dump of sobering topics that include America's new crypto era, the chaos of mass government layoffs and cuts, objectives from Project 2025, details on various lawsuits, the bravery of historical and current military members, and why seeing the Zelenskyy meeting left me shaken.

Recap: RHOBH S14 E13, Caviar Catastrophe
27 februari 2025 · 59 min
This episode revolves around Sutton and Dorit rehashing their "tete-a-tete" from the 4th of July party. Amidst an event to celebrate expensive potatoes, caftans, and jewels, the women jab, mock, and ridicule one another to the amusement of all attendees. Sutton delves into her baser impulses and coins the moniker "Poorit" as she flexes the hefty girth of her divorce settlement. Was it a horrid, distasteful look? Yes. Was it also accurate and amusing? Yes and yes. The episode ends with a collective gasp as the group sees Mo and a young woman splashed on the tabloid pages. BONUS: A mini update on significant changes I'm tracking for the legendary, and once prestigious, office of the Southern District of New York Lees meer

Summing up The Hollywood Reporter article that posed the question of whether Justin and his Wayfarer friend group's shared Baha'i faith could have played a part in some of the on-set tensions. Then, a wrap up of Blake Lively's amended lawsuit, including an analysis of an "apology" email she sent to screenwriter Christy Hall, a realization about why I find one of their key arguments so insulting, and a rundown of what items still remain contested.

Deep Dive: It Ends With Us, Part 12 - Finishing JB's Timeline and Comparing Different Versions of Events
15 februari 2025 · 1 uur 19 min
Wading through the last pages of Justin Baldoni's 168-page "Timeline of Relevant Events" that presented new information and perspectives on specific complaints made by Blake Lively. Final receipts via public articles, production emails, and personal texts, supported Justin's claim that Wayfarer and Sony catered to escalating requests and schedule changes solely to keep the peace and ensure Blake would not only finish the film but also promote it. His PDF document ends with new revelations regarding timestamp data, found by TikTok sleuths, that seems to show The New York Times' access to those personal texts, and Blake's complaint, weeks prior to them reaching out to Justin's team for comment.

13 februari 2025 · 1 uur 4 min
After a quick review of a recently promoted podcast appearance by Justin Baldoni taped in November 2024, we dive back into the Timeline of Relevant Events PDF. New behind the scenes information and receipts regarding cast opinions on shooting the film, Colleen Hoover's BookCon event, dueling film edits and audience viewer scores, as well as a looming Contract of Engagement that may have never been signed by Blake Lively, all continue to fill in the gaps of a dysfunctional reality far more fascinating than any authored work.

Sutton's trip to Augusta, Georgia to work on her strained relationship with her mother takes center stage in this episode. With Garcelle and Kyle by her side, she braves the trip to her childhood home where her family experienced the loss of her father. Sutton finally confronts her mother, Reba, about their lack of connection and we bear witness to the disappointing dynamic. Back in Beverly Hills, Dorit's upbeat mood about PK/PJ finally calling falls flat when Boze and Erika remind her of the stakes and his likely ulterior motives for smoothing the situation over after riling her up. Bonus: Karmic Social Media Soda Wars Lees meer

Recap: RHOBH S14 E9 and E10, Beachy Keen and Sweet Home Augusta
11 februari 2025 · 1 uur 6 min
A full rundown of the last two episodes of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. From Kyle and Dorit finally squashing the "more than memes" text issues, to a look back at the nicer times between PK/PJ and Dorit before she laments him going MIA before resurfacing to send a tersely worded seven-page email, the episodes run a gamut of emotions for Dorit. Sutton's visit home to Georgia with Garcelle and Kyle reminds us about her challenging relationship with her mother, Reba. Erika spends $37k on luxury interior design and warns Dorit about being proactive in her situation with PJ/PK. Boze continues to deliver stellar commentary while not hesitating to dive into topics with the group and we get a Kathy sighting complete with a Capri inspired, lemon forward luncheon. Lees meer

From lengthy debates about Mormon standards, to attempting to follow Britani's train of thought, to dissecting micro-penis talk, this reunion covers a lot of bases. A highlight of the episode is that the longstanding Alibaba and alleged threesome feud between Whitney and Lisa finally comes to a head.

This section of the reunion focuses on issues and spats concerning the husbands and their affronts to each other, and a few of the other housewives, before pivoting to Mary to discuss how she and Robert Jr. bravely shared his struggle with substance abuse and an update on how he's doing now. Between biatch talk, emotional moments, and circle jerks, this reunion was a rollercoaster of emotions true to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City brand.

Deep Dive: It Ends With Us, Part 10 - Justin Baldoni's Amended Lawsuit and Timeline
5 februari 2025 · 1 uur 14 min
A review of the amended lawsuit and a partial review of the 168 page timeline with new receipts that Justin Baldoni's legal team dropped via website. New information and details about what went on behind the scenes during production, like firing staff members for allegedly thinking Blake should be replaced, texts between Ryan Reynolds and Justin, and more texts between Justin and his Wayfarer cohorts about how to handle situations. The next dive will hopefully complete that timeline review and then we'll get into how Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have acted during production as well as how they've publicly responded to the legal battle.

Deep Dive: It Ends With Us, Part 9 - Ultimate Creative Control
31 januari 2025 · 1 uur 11 min
Reviewing receipts from Justin Baldoni's lawsuit that allege Blake Lively's goal was always to assert ultimate creative control over his movie, "It Ends With Us". Through text messages, emails, and voice notes, we're presented with a behind the scenes view into the unorthodox power dynamic between director/actress/lead co-stars. Through communications spanning the entire production, we read along as they navigate an awkward tug of war over wardrobe, script writing, directing, and editing decisions - all amidst a tense series of confrontations and union strikes. BONUS: The 2026 timeframe for this trial and where things stand now Lees meer

Deep Dive: It Ends With Us, Part 8 - Sexual Harassment Allegations and Responses
28 januari 2025 · 1 uur 14 min
Now that Justin Baldoni filed his countersuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and her PR firm, I cross referenced his own allegations and explanations against her original complaint to see what claims have and haven't been addressed. While a few things seem to have been negated, the majority remain unanswered or left to interpretation of two differing perceptions. This pod focuses solely on her claim, and his defense, of sexual harassment while working on the movie. Upcoming pods will delve into the accusation that Blake's goal was ultimate creative control of the movie and the rights to its sequel, along with the PR scandal over personal text messages and confidential communications being leaked and allegedly cherry picked for misinterpretation.

Recap: RHOSLC Season 5, Reunion Part 1 (Uncensored & Extended)
25 januari 2025 · 59 min
Let's end a hellish week by recapping Part 1 of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion. The topics hit hard and fast when they start coming but most don't get to a full resolution before things devolve into yelling and nonsense. Still, Andy manages to ask about: if Whitney gets her jewelry from ALIBABAAAHHH, the status of Angie and Lisa in light of the "bad mom" comment, where Bronwyn and Lisa stand considering a startling rumor Lisa mentioned on the Bravo Aftershow, and Heather's new "meaner" side. Then we end with the husbands getting into it as we prepare for Part 2. BONUS: learning more about Whitney's jewelry website Lees meer

Recap and A Rant: RHOBH S14E8 - A Perfect Storm Out, and Dealing with Fascism Fight or Flight
23 januari 2025 · 1 uur 2 min
What better way to decompress from a week of chaos and unrest than to watch a woman with more Birkins than sense dramatically lament a situation she created? How dare people take issue with Kyle seemingly pledging loyalty to a friend's estranged husband? All that while continuing to refer to herself as a "girl's girl" makes for quite the journey into madness. Thankfully, Dorit 2.0 continues to reject BS like last season's shoes, Boze has a beautiful backyard AND Dorit's back, Erika placates both sides while leaning towards her clique roots, and Sutton, Garcelle, and Jennifer Tilly keep themselves sane while bringing us comedic relief. BONUS: A new wave of social media censorship and warnings, the danger of people eager to placate and ignore pivotal moments in history, and where you can find me on the scale of tolerance for hate groups - spoiler, my level is named Aldo Raine Lees meer

Movie Reviews and a Rant: The Substance, Martha, and the TikTok Ban That Wasn't
21 januari 2025 · 1 uur 4 min
On MLK Day, in a mad world, lets talk about two women-centered films. Final thoughts of the 'Martha' documentary on Netflix and then Demi Moore's stellar performance in 'The Substance', as well as the lessons we can glean from both. Also, hold my hand as I rant about the much hyped TikTok ban that wasn't and worrisome censorship that appears to be popping up across social media platforms. Lees meer

Recap: SLC Finale SE16 - When All Is Said and Done (Uncensored and Extended Episode)
16 januari 2025 · 1 uur 12 min
This extended version of the episode was truly a hilling experience. I laughed, I cried, I critiqued. Breaking the fourth wall, throwing flowers, nip slips, cheap wigs, walk-offs, wild allegations, and claims of stagnant sales for Wild Rose - the finale has it ALL. This episode could provide an entire season's worth of content for other RH franchises. It's a journey of friendship, conflict, loyalty, and betrayal. Lees meer

Recaps and a TikTok Rant: RHOBH S14 E6 and E7 - Viper Room and a Pity Pizza Party
16 januari 2025 · 53 min
After a measured rant on the tragedy that is the American government catering to the whims of a bug eyed bro with $8M to spend on lobbying to get his way, we recap two episodes of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In episode six, Dorit confronts Kyle about her innocent meme laden texts with PK, Kyle doubles down on the silliness of her caring after not caring previously and the innocent nature of the texts. Then in episode 7, Kyle reads a text she sent to PK and the ladies realize it's more than memes....meanwhile Garcelle celebrates her beach house and family, Sutton is still on the outs with Dorit and plans a pizza party for Erika, Boze introduces us to her man and weathers surgery, all while the former head of EJ Global works with a celebrity designer to refurnish her casita.

Recap: RHOSLC S5E15 - Smile, You're Being Recorded
11 januari 2025 · 1 uur 2 min
Another iconic Real Housewives of Salt Lake City episode that solidifies the sprinter van as THE best of all possible filming locations on any franchise. Nothing brings a divided group together like a common enemy, and that enemy swinging and missing on every excuse, accusation, and attempt to fight back makes for a legendarily cringe experience. Up against a new foe, Meredith is in rare form and slips into paranoia, Heather vacillates between emotional support and lecturing, Lisa feels betrayed, Mary seems satisfied, Bronwyn brings solid one-liners, Angie is the Queen of see-something-say-something and serves as a voice of reason, while Whitney shows compassion despite her anger. BONUS: A rant on Jen Aydin popping off at Jersey Mike's and my zero tolerance for idiots using the devastation of the CA wildfires to mock diversity within the Fire Department Lees meer

Movie Review and Rant: I finally watched 'It Ends With Us'
8 januari 2025 · 1 uur 6 min
It finally happened, I watched the movie that spurned all the lawsuits and drama - and I have thoughts. A review the rom-dramedy? in the spirit of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and thoughts and research into the various distracting derelict lewks and random designer labels. From the acting to the dialogue, and the plot to the set design, the creative choices were all noticed and noted. BONUS: A newly released voicemail from Justin Baldoni, plus the internet reminded me about some Deadpool director drama that sounds familiar Lees meer

Deep Dive: It Ends with Us/These Lawsuits - Part 7
5 januari 2025 · 1 uur 16 min
The conclusion of Justin Baldoni's jam packed lawsuit against the New York Times that covers a pile of alleged inaccuracies from their article regarding a "smear campaign" against Blake Lively. Full text message exchanges between Justin's team seem to present a different reality from the vindictive scenarios outlined in Blake's complaint. Justin's version tells a story of his small production house being blindsided and strong-armed into submission by a powerful celebrity couple. Multiple things can be true, and while several allegations weren't addressed, both sides want a jury trial which hopefully means every detail will be shared at some point. Lees meer

Deep Dive: It Ends With Us/These Lawsuits - Part 6
4 januari 2025 · 1 uur 5 min
Justin Baldoni files an 87 page lawsuit against the New York Times, this episode reviews contradictions from statements made in Blake Lively's complaint. His perspective seems to be that she held something over Wayfarer as a bargaining chip of sorts to get her way, and that he and his team agreed to her escalating demands to keep the peace. They appear to frame her allegations as a means to regain positive public image that they state was not damaged by a "smear campaign" but rather her own tone deaf actions during the movie's promotional period. Each of their filings reflect very strong, and very opposing, perspectives. Part 6 covers the first half of his filing, Part 7 covers the rest as well as my summary thoughts after realizing one party is either lying or delusional. Lees meer

Movie & Series Reviews: 'Your Monster' and 'Black Doves'
29 december 2024 · 44 min
Review and recommendations of Netflix's 6-part series, 'Black Doves', and the Caroline Lindy's indie film, "Your Monster". Keira Knightly morphs into a super spy with impressive fighting skills and a comedic relief spy best friend in a series that I thought rivaled any action movie in recent years. Then, Melissa Bererra gives an outstanding performance as a young woman dealing with a pile of disappointments and challenges amidst a backdrop of musical theater and fantasy. BONUS: Jax Taylor's silent Cameo and the recent luxury handbag upset by the "Wirkin" Lees meer

Deep Dive: It Ends With Us, Part 5 - PR Ethics and Bitter Resignations
25 december 2024 · 1 uur 12 min
The final portion of Blake Lively's complaint filed against Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer for alleged misconduct and a PR smear campaign. Enlightening information is shared via actual text messages that seem to make clear why Justin's messaging and behavior during the launch of the movie was so very different from the rest of the cast. Text messages between his PR and crisis comms team detail the lengths famous people can go to when focused on maintaining or building a positive persona - or working to destroy someone else's. Then, the recent blowback from PR land about allegations of firings v. resignations, client stealing, and ethical lines of the work they do. Lees meer

24 december 2024 · 1 uur 2 min
Sharing details and information from the legal complaint filed by Blake Lively's attorneys on Friday December, 20 that alleges rampant inappropriate conduct on the set of It Ends With Us.

The list of allegations spans repeatedly making comments about women's bodies, mentioning porn, asking lewd questions, a lack of boundaries, and a seemingly unprofessional production team. Part 5 will cover what happened with the marketing and public relations efforts for the actors after the film had wrapped. Lees meer

Recap: RHOBH S14E5 High Horses and Low Blows
22 december 2024 · 51 min
Dorit's DGAF season continues to give and give as the episode shows us various topics, from Sutton supporting Garcelle's move into her renovated beach house, Jennifer Tilly's Bel Air real estate collection, Boze's travels, Kyle's self love, and Erika's affinity for pizza and delusion - yet none are as entertaining as watching Dorit pop off on a smug Camille. That moment comes during a western fetish party Kyle throws, complete with mechanical bull, tattoo station, errant saddles, and wagon wheel decor. Sutton's attempts to lead the charge into a sorority atmosphere once again fall flat and lead to a cinematic masterpiece of mockery and contempt that results in Dorit snapping and not holding back, however much Erika tries to rein her in.

Once in Puerto Vallarta, Lisa's meticulous planning backfires when Bronwyn feels slighted by her room assignment - as Britani feels emboldened by hers. All things come to the surface at dinner, along with more haircare tips, and some beefs are squashed as others continue to go strong. Lees meer

After an acknowledgment of chaotic school requests, holiday tasks, and a story about orbs, we settle in for a nice recap. The ladies pick up on a "to be continued" tiff at dinner in Mission Beach between Dorit and Kyle as the rest of the group watches the back and forth like a tennis match - and cringes as conversation devolves into a tangent about John Mellencamp's daughter, courtesy of Garcelle. The battle seems to fizzle while out to sea, only to gear back up as the ladies prepare to take to the sky. Sutton attempts to focus on sisterhood, friendship, and being open with each other but her plans are misunderstood by Dorit who's been fielding critiques from all sides. Meanwhile, Kathy continues to give us comedic relief and outstanding floral arrangements, Kyle brushes up on her wacky faces amidst interpersonal conflict a la Amsterdam, and Boze and Jennifer Tilly observe and try to enjoy themselves despite it all.

Deep Dive: Luigi Mangione, Part 2 - Morality and The Power of an Idea
14 december 2024 · 58 min
Updates on the case as it stands with a disclaimer that Luigi should be viewed as a suspect, innocent until proven guilty, not definitively guilty until that is proven in court. Analyzing details of his online footprint and alleged evidence has provided more seemingly hidden messages that are reviewed before asking questions that arise when debating his connection. The topic that super cedes all others is the unity of the majority, the wave of their discontent that is calling out the abuse and misdeeds of privatized healthcare and insurance that has resulted in prioritization of money over health. As voices get louder, we're also witnessing a suppression of related content and an eagerness to make an example out of a woman who said specific words in anger after being denied a claim this week. Also, a look at civil unrest through a historical lens, morality policing, and why this next generation isn't as phased by violence as their elders may expect. Lees meer

A full rundown of what we currently know about the alleged United Healthcare vigilante, including the details of his arrest and charges in both PA and NY, his education, upbringing, life, and events that may have served as the catalyst for his actions. After wading through potential easter eggs and hidden messages he may have planned, we'll review his social media footprint that paints a picture of a young man questioning ethics and morality while struggling with ongoing health issues and pain. Throughout, the intent is to be clear about facts vs. media spin and recognize the eagerness that news sources seem to have to plant seeds of partisan discontent in a moment when the majority has found themselves unified.

8 december 2024 · 1 uur 12 min
After an update on new details about the United Healthcare vigilante, now known as The Adjuster, a recap of the last two episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills begins. I catch up on E2 where viewers learned more cringeworthy information about PK, Kyle's issues with Dorit, Erika's ongoing fixation with money, and a framed picture Kyle can't seem to step to. Then, Kathy treats us to a beachside outing, filled with thoughtful touches, games, and fun elements - for Kyle to poop on. The culmination of the episode is Dorit once again standing up to Kyle and again refusing to accept blame for how she's been treated. Lees meer
