Show Notes
Whitney is in her full Roxie Hart era and we are so here for it — even if the internet can’t decide whether to cheer, critique, or ask how she’s doing it all as a mom.
Ariana and Renee get into Puff Daddy documentaries, childhood VHS vibes (VeggieTales vs. vulgar rap — opposites attract), and the two very different ways our hosts grew up consuming pop culture.
Then it’s straight into Bravo land. We break down Vanderpump’s brand-new cast and why the premiere felt more “middle of the season” than “start of something exciting.” Will we care about these people? TBD.
Salt Lake City gives us accountability issues, non-apology apologies, Bronwyn unpacking childhood validation, and the sloppiest party games ever created.
And Southern Charm… well, let’s just say the Austen–Audrey energy feels like a slow breakup in real time, the Craig–Venita thing still makes zero sense, Patricia on an iPad is mother, and Madison’s house has us looking at real estate we absolutely cannot afford.
Stay to the end for this week’s Ick and Icon — with a Vanderpump–Salt Lake City double header and a surprising amount of love for working moms just trying to do big things on big stages.
