Belly (Lola Tung) and Conrad (Christopher Briney) of The Summer I Turned Pretty finally got their happy ending in the season 3 finale episode. Host Reshma Gopaldas and journalist Jason Pham discuss the finale, Belly and Conrad's long running will they/won't they - but of course they will- relationship, and what might happen in the newly announced The Summer I Turned Pretty movie. We break down Jeremiah's kitchen romance and chef future, Laurel's absence in the finale, Conrad and Belly's love scene which has been years in the making. Taylor Swift's two songs, "Dress" and "Out of the Woods (Taylor's Version)," that had starring roles in the finale, alongside Phoebe Bridgers' "Scott Street." Plus, what we missed seeing in the finale, what didn't work for us, (ahem Belly's bob haircut), and why we think Jeremiah should be in a relationship with someone else. We discuss Belly's Paris life, and how her one long day in Paris with Conrad included The Louvre, The Eiffel Tour, and so many iconic French spots, plus the dinner with her friends, and the ups and downs of their relationship, leading up to the big reunion moment, the short break-up, and then Belly's run to the train station to finally tell Conrad she loves him. The book ending shows Belly and Conrad getting married, but the television finale did not. From Taylor and Steven, to Jeremiah and Denise, to Conrad and Belly, the finale wrapped up all the stories, but the movie will most likely feature Belly and Conrad's wedding, and other relationship milestones. We discuss what storyline possibilities could take place in the movie, and Jason suggests Belly and Conrad's house in Cousins might burn down. Plus, what he think Belly and Conrad will name their first child. The Summer I Turned Pretty is created by Jenny Han and is streaming now on Prime Video, and stars: Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Rain Spencer, Sean Kaufman, Rachel Blanchard, Tom Everett Scott, Colin Ferguson and Jackie Chung.

| Jakob Oftebro - 'Vanguard' - Swedish 'Succession' If The Roy Kids Were Competent | 06 Dec 2025 | 00:25:37 | |
Jakob Oftebro (Black Crab, Lillyhammer) joins Son of a Binge host Reshma Gopaldas to talk all about his role as media mogul, Jan Stenbeck in Vanguard, which is being hailed as the Swedish Succession. Imagine if Kendall Roy, Shiv Roy, Roman Roy, and Connor Roy were actually competent. What'd you get is Jan Stenbeck. Based on the true story of the Stenbeck family empire, Oftebro leads the cast. Vanguard is streaming now on Viaplay. Also starring: Zoe Boyle (Merrill McCloud), Irene Lindh (Märtha Stenbeck), Malin Crépin (Margaretha af Ugglas), Julia Marko Nord (Elisabeth Silfverstolpe), Iggy Malmborg (Oskar), Nils Wetterholm (Marcus). Son of a Binge production credits: Show Description (from Viaplay): Vanguard tells the story of an unlikely media mogul and trailblazer of technological reform, torn between passion and duty. It’s a tale of fearless entrepreneurship, a desire to change the world — and a sibling rivalry in a powerful family fractured by old wounds. At 35, Jan Stenbeck appears to have it all: a prestigious career at Morgan Stanley, a glamorous life in New York, and a budding romance with American socialite Merrill McCloud. But when tragedy strikes his family in Sweden, he's suddenly thrust into a leadership role at Kinnevik, the family’s industrial empire. Armed with bold ideas from the U.S., Jan has no interest in continuing the legacy of steel and forestry. Instead, he launches a radical transformation, turning the conservative conglomerate into a telecom and media powerhouse. What follows is a high stakes battle between tradition and innovation, as Jan’s vision clashes with his siblings’ resistance to change. His relentless drive reshapes the Nordic media and telecom landscape: he breaks Sweden’s telephone monopoly, launches TV3 - Scandinavia’s first commercial channel - and pioneers’ strategies that inspire Rupert Murdoch’s Sky TV model and lay the groundwork for Vodafone’s rise. At his peak, Jan is worth 800 million dollars, founds 20–30 companies annually, and helps shift Sweden from a traditional industrial society into a leader in global communications. But his meteoric rise comes at a cost. Haunted by loneliness and broken family ties, Jan’s life proves as turbulent as it is transformative.
