Talk To Me Taylor – Details, episodes & analysis

You've seen the viral videos. You've shared the memes. You may as well have PTSD from Blake Lively and Anne Hathaway yourself. Kjersti Flaa (YouTube: @Flaawsometalk) is a veteran entertainment journalist who's blown UP doing the lord's work in exposing Hollywood dysfunction and reality of celebrity interviews, and was just featured on the cover of New York Times for it. Today, in celebration of the show's 300th episode, she joins me to talk about what others won't regarding the toxic enabling cycle in entertainment. Two blondes take on the Hollywood machine. Hide your kids, wives, and celebs.

Tensions are rising, and sadly not in a sexual way, with the election around the corner. We’ll be hearing nonstop about the likes of Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, and the big dogs involved. Turns out, we may not be that far from these power players influencing our lives, physically, but mentally, they’re on a whole other planet.

Today, a look at the one thing we can't escape besides death, taxes, and Kamala Harris's laugh: time. Looking at the big picture of how our culture has unfolded in attitude and trends, there's a striking parallel to my personal experience in media, so I ask: What will you do with your time? Do you need to get with times, or are you among the chosen ones ahead of the curve? The curve of these crystal balls, that is. 

This impromptu episode -- difficult, but necessary (I know, even on a Friday) -- was fueled by the news of a 14-year-old student who died by suicide after being bullied and beaten in a video caught on camera. Given my background in mainstream media, I try to make sense of our sick, violent culture and the way almost every instance (from this to Tyre Nichols and George Floyd, and Uvalde to Monterey Park) is politicized, distorted, or both, and is hurting us as a society even more.

From a Grammys performance, to a new Netflix "comedy" (will fact check this), and your throwback Pam Anderson centerfold, we have no idea how to feel about anything anymore. And I blame the lovechild of our psycho media and culture. 

Another guest who's attractive, smart, and talented. Ugh - not again!!! Val Kilmer's son Jack is here to talk about his starring role in the final shebang of Bruce Willis's iconic action film career, Detective Knight: Independence, the last installment of the franchise. In just 15 minutes, we manage to tackle: our twisted, dark, and trigger-happy culture, the suffering anti-hero like The Joker in all of us, empathizing with and humanizing the bad guy, and themes around police, freedom, the American dream, and violence that wouldn't necessarily be in his dad's films, aka a simpler time. Your happy ending is nepotism and his thoughts on Hailey Bieber's "nepo baby" shirt.

Your Cancel Me, Baby guide to the wild "Velma" controversy. How my personal story with Mindy Kaling, the insane and nonsensical backlash from both conservatives and wokes, and my own viewing experience not only shaped my view of Mindy, but my belief that the satire is also some of the most genius TV I've seen in a minute.

Here at Cancel Me, Baby, we're in the business of giving the people what they want. A sexy look at the iconic, OG booty is no exception. Enter Jason Moore, director of the new rom-com action flick SHOTGUN WEDDING (starring J.Lo, Josh Duhamel, your best friend Jennifer Coolidge, and your sex god Lenny Kravitz), who's also here to do just that. We talk about how J.Lo manages to OWN her bare butt... and simultaneously the whole damn room, navigating that in the "male gaze" meltdown era, what's really behind Lenny Kravitz's infamous sunglasses, the real-life dichotomy of his rockstar persona, and how J.Lo's in on the scrutiny of her love life. Putting the ASS in badass, everyone. 

A Christian TV network gets flak. Celebrating Japanese culture is appropriation. Harry Potter books are mutilated. Normal body image is considered toxic. Demi Lovato's bondage album cover is deemed the antichrist. This is why we can't have nice things!
