Maggie shares some field notes from her Europe trip as she chats from Paris! Oui oui.

We discuss Choice's SPF findings, which had the country stressing, and a local celebrity sighting.

There’s been more Sabrina Carpenter outrage this week after she announced her new album, Man’s Best Friend. From violence against women to puritan culture and using pop stars as a scapegoat for our anger at the world, we share our own takes on the discourse. We reference this Substack.

Next, what does it mean to climb cringe mountain? Jas shares her findings on the new term and we chat about Addison Rae's earnest press tour for her new album, Addison. We share a clip from Popcast, the New York Times music podcast and Quenlin Blackwell's YouTube interview series, Feeding Starving Celebrities. This ELLE US interview is also referenced.

In Bookmarked, Maggie loved Offline Love on Netflix. Jas got to watch The Materialists and shares a no-spoiler review on the rom-com.

Katie Zhou created our fab cover art and India Raine is our wonderful editor and composer of our jingle.
