Discussions of In The Heights focus on the star power of Anthony Ramos, the joy of summer in the city on a big screen -- and the fact that the actual Washington Heights is dominated by Afro-Latinx people, who don't have *any* presence in the film's many lead roles. It's not 'cancel culture' to discuss the casting decisions made by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jon M Chu that got the film to this point. The critique, the implications - and the impact on the "good guy" careers.

Everything is coming up Kathryn Hahn. Did you always know? Or do you just know now? Same goes for Renée Elise Goldsberry. On this episode we discuss making it later. And if there are benefits to non-ingenue fame and success. If so… what are they?

Unbelievably, the best-ever 'concert' film - actually an intimate (if highly-produced) diary of Madonna at Peak Superstar -- is 30 years old. We discuss how it shaped a generation, what still resonates decades later, Madonna's strategic exhibition and exploitation of other people's stories (and the parts that were clearly not calculated), and why it marks a turning point for the way gay culture was seen in media. We also touch on the specific shame of our specific geographic connection to Truth or Dare's most embarrassing plotline...

We procrastinate discussing the worst-rated Oscars on record by discussing our now first-person experiences of vaccination - including which brand has indie cool cred. But eventually we get to business - could these COVID-styled Oscars have been any better? What were the unforced errors, and what could possibly have been done to avoid them? Plus, we show our work in a deeply petty argument that delights us both.

Amanda Gorman looks like herself on the cover of VOGUE, and in Doreen St. Felix's profile, she doubles down on being worthy of all the attention - in her speech, dress, and actions. But if she's already 'perfect' - where will all the talent and opportunities take her, and how will she change? Plus, what if you're super talented, working hard, and not getting attention? One SNL star is leaning into the unlikely label of 'The One Who's Overlooked'.

Surprise - Hollywood has perpetuated stereotypes about Asians and continues to create challenges for the still-too-few Asians in media. We discuss Hollywood’s anti-Asian blindspots and the difference that storytelling can make in pushing for change. Then, actress & director Sarah Ramos was almost a Gossip Girl. What did it cost her - and what did she gain?

Harry & Meghan's explosive interview with Oprah was a master class. We had to break down all the ways Oprah's tone, technique and even her sitting position created the first must-see TV we've had in years -- and how Harry, the surprise star of the show, harnessed vulnerability and pain to hit the Royal Family where it definitely hurts.
