Abby’s solo this week with notes on THAT episode of Succession (spoilers included!), Taylor Swift + Joe Alwyn’s breakup and its ripple effect through SwifTok, Tom Sandoval’s disastrous + perplexing appearance on Howie Mandel’s podcast, Amazon’s The Power, Netflix’s Beef, Showtime’s Yellowjackets, Ben Affleck’s Air + the ‘80s of it all, and more.

Abby has notes on the VPR reunion looks, the new boygenius album, some podcast recommendations, and a few other tidbits before she’s joined by writer Kerensa Cadenas to talk lots of fun TV stuff. They get into the most recent season of You—including how they’d like to see it wrap up and Kerensa’s recent profile of Penn Badgley for British GQ, Succession, Vanderpump Rules, and lots more.

Abby and her dear friend Maura Brannigan take a deep dive into the world of Daisy Jones & the Six—the book, the Amazon series, and the album, Aurora. Yes, there are spoilers. And also many a sidebar on such related topics as Taylor Swift, Evermore, Fleetwood Mac, songwriting, slut eras, their own musical dreams, the beautiful complexity of female friendship, and much more. And, of course, Abby has a statement on *that* video from Tokyo.

Abby’s obviously got some notes on the latest from Vanderpump land and the beginning of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Then she’s joined by her friend Amy Rowell (for the fourth time!!!) to talk about so very many things: more erotic thrillers from our youth, Nancy Drew + the Hardy Boys, Rob Lowe’s sex tape scandal, TikTok hilarity, Chelsea Handler + the joys of living a single, child-free life, the toxic relationships of Tell Me Lies + much more.

This week Abby is joined by two of her most devoted Bravo friends—New York magazine’s Alyssa Shelasky and writer/producer Lauren Brown West-Rosenthal—to discuss the biggest pop culture story of 2022 so far: Scandoval. Even if you don’t watch Vanderpump Rules, you have likely been touched by the news that Tom cheated on Ariana with Raquel/Rachel and this episode gets into ALL OF IT. From why this took over the culture, if the cheaters have a way back, the reasons Ariana is the coolest and so beloved in the Bravo fandom, the legend that is Lala Kent, some tough rounds of F/M/K, and more twists + turns than, well, a Bravo narrative.

Of course there are notes to be noted about the SCANDOVAL, aka the Tom/Raquel/Ariana cheating news from the land of Vanderpump, and one of the most important stories of our time. (Don’t worry, dedicated Daisy Jones content is forthcoming…but breaking news is breaking news!) Then Abby is joined by her old friend, writer Maggie Bullock, to talk J. Crew and her new book The Kingdom of Prep. They get into the ‘90s impact, the woman behind the scenes back then that you probably never knew about, the fashion reset that was the Linda Evangelista/Arthur Elgort cover, the explosion of the cult of Jenna Lyons and the Mickey/Jenna/Obama era of the brand, why Jenna might have decided to join RHONY, and so much more.

Abby’s got a couple recommendations—Sharper on AppleTV+ and the new season of Outer Banks on Netflix—and another mini rant about Aidan and Carrie (UGH!) Then she’s joined by her friend Courtney Dunlop for a journey back in time to the erotic thrillers of yore like Fatal Attraction (which isn’t technically ‘90s, but still), Basic Instinct, Sliver, Single White Female, A Perfect Murder, and more. The gorgeous clothes, the tech (LOL), the tropes, the real estate porn, the way we thought that’s what our offices were going to look like, the Michael Douglas of it all, that famous Barneys bag…and, of course, the steamy sex scenes.

Abby’s got notes on the new trailer for Daisy Jones & the Six, Harry at the Brits, Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence, and the latest eps of You, Poker Face, and 911: Lone Star. Then she’s joined by her friend Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh to chat about Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show and the new Pamela Anderson documentary on Netflix. Spoiler alert: They’re very into both.
