This week, Jordana and Sami compare notes on their best and worst moments from Sunday's Academy Awards, including Cynthia and Ariana's Wicked performance, Kieran Culkin and Adrian Brody's speeches, and agism in the Best Actor vs. Best Actress categories. Then, they give their honest review of the first two episodes of Meghan Markle/Sussex's new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, and cover everything from local bee keeping, to awkwardly correcting Mindy Kaling, and whether this show actually helps us understand who the real Meghan is. Finally, they wrap with some quick-fire pop culture updates featuring Mason Disick, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, and the late Gene Hackman. Our joint Betches of the week are Cynthia Erivo for her amazing live rendition of "Defying Gravity," and Mikey Madison for her Oscar victory.

Week 3 of our stay here at The White Lotus and we're starting to feel that slow burn... This week, Emma Diamond and Julie Kramer of the Comments by Celebs podcast (@commentsbycelebs) join Sami Sage in the studio to dive into the trouble brewing in paradise. Will Greg/Gary's boat be the same yacht from season 2? What's up with Lochlan and the tsunami videos? And what the hell was Rick thinking with the snakes?! (Justice for "filler episodes.")

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share where they were when TikTok went dark, their theories about how the app is changing, and their favorite memes from Monday's inauguration. Then, they dive deep into Justin Baldoni's new lawsuit and some of the more revealing text exchanges with Blake Lively (aka Khaleesi?). Is Ryan Reynolds the real mastermind behind this feud? What does Jenny Slate know that we don't? There's more to this than what we've seen so far, and we'll be keeping an eye on how things unfold. Next, Oscar nominations were announced yesterday, and it looks like it's time for Aleen to finally finish watching Emilia Pérez, because it came out on top with an impressive, if baffling, 13 noms. Finally, they give their review of fellow Best Picture nominee Anora. Our joint Betches of the Week are TikTok, for pulling a Selena Gomez and coming back online a mere 12 hours after dramatically going dark, and @Bee.Better.Company for helping us decipher the Baldoni lawsuit.

We begin with a fair warning from Sami: she says like a lot in this episode. Okay, now that that’s over with, we have so much piping hot celebri-tea to discuss. The trio starts off with a juicy Grammys debrief, including Aleen’s hot take on Harry Styles’ outfit, and a heated discussion on the state of Bennifer’s relationship. (Too many weddings is always a bad sign.) From one red carpet to the next, the three discuss Reese and Ashton’s awkward AF photos, and spill the tea on Tom Brady’s cringey thirst trap– although Jordana would beg to differ. They wrap with Sami’s debrief on Armie Hammer’s attempted comeback in his latest interview. He’ll be sent back to the Caymans since he was the original inspo for the segment.
