This week on our podcast we ended up talking about why some pop culture figures age into comfort instead of irrelevance. Nigella Lawson, Bake-Off energy, and cultural longevity. Episode 3 out now. #PopCulture #Podcast

I think the reason Sabrina Carpenter works so well on the Muppet Show is that she takes the Muppets more seriously than herself!

Our podcast this week looks at why pop culture apologies often land after audiences have already made up their minds. Tyra Banks and ANTM became the starting point, but it turned into a bigger conversation about cultural memory and Catherine O’Hara. Ep 3 out now. #PopCulture #Podcast #Television

Tyra Banks’ ANTM apology raises a bigger question: what does accountability look like when culture has already moved on? We dug into that, plus Catherine O’Hara’s legacy and Snowcrete survival, on this week’s podcast. #PopCulture #Television #MediaCriticism

Pop culture feels especially feral right now — Taylor Swift entering the canon, Oscar discourse eating itself alive, and Queer Eye fandom in meltdown mode. We unpacked all of it on the latest episode of Cultural Threeway 🎧 #PopCulture #QueerCulture #Podcast

150 episodes in, and the holidays finally broke us. 🎄 The Hubs joins for moral support. Daniel wraps the year but not his presents. Max balances marriage and holiday movies. Three spirits visit to cover Rob Reiner, DC Nightlife chaos, and what’s coming in 2026. #podcast #holidays #movies

Ep149: Now Owned By Netflix Festive plans vs adulting. Daniel comes back from Texas charming and politics-free. Max battles holiday parties, money, power, and ambition. Then Netflix, Warner Bros, and a real cultural moment: what happens to cinema now? Are theaters finished? #podcast #Netflix #movies

Ep148: Holes in the Brain? — We meant to talk holidays, but the Kardashians stole the mic. Are holes in the brain real, is oversharing terminal, and is Daniel wrong for taking time off? Meanwhile Max melts down choosing between Oscar films and holiday movies. December wins again. #podcast

Who TF Is Madeline? Hot Cider, witch vibes, Daniel wandering DC like he’s closing out a Nancy Meyers movie, Max suffering in bad bars as the only sober person, and Lily Allen dropping West End Girl like a cultural bomb. It’s chaos. It’s spooky. It’s perfect. #podcast #LilyAllen #SpookySeason

A fresh episode just dropped! 🎧 Daniel’s terrifying his parents with “conversion” talk, Max is back from Philly with soccer & baby drama, and we’re wondering: if four men can break into the Louvre, why can’t one of them text back? 😂 Tune in: [link] #podcast #LouvreStories

What do Max & Daniel do when we’re not recording? Max: quarantining his inner baker into sourdough obsession. Daniel: cemetery excursions, claiming “aesthetic research.” You get this episode = you know their weirdness. Listen: linktr.ee/bitcheswithb... #podcast #LGBTQ #behindthescenes
