Hello, homies, and welcome to another episode of Easily Entertained with Maddie McClain. I am your host, your dutiful pop culture sherpa, your girly pop, your bestie whatever you want to call me, as long as it's nice here to break down the latest in pop culture, hollywood and the entertainment world at large. I just really wanted to say at large. I feel like if you add that on to the end of a sentence, generally it makes whatever you have to say sound a whole lot smarter. Somehow, someway, we have made it to the month of April in 2025. So if you're listening to this beyond April 2025, hello from the past. And if you're listening to it right now, baby hello. Isn't it wild that it's April? I know that this is what everyone has to say, I think by law at the beginning of every month is can you believe it? It's inter-month here, or can you believe it? It's already Wednesday, you know, and everybody feels that way, though it's not always fake, I'm sure. There are plenty of times where it is. However, the physics of time, I don't even think that's what it is here, as time goes on in hours like a shorter portion of your life. Anyways, back to the subject at hand April Fool's Day. I would be born on a month that begins with one giant punked episode. Basically, I'm always terrified to go out in public on April Fool's Day. You never know what's lurking out there. And historically, I'm one of the more gullible people out there. My siblings always told me I'm the youngest of four. I don't know if that is also just. Perhaps I signed a legally binding contract that all babies with older siblings must receive while in the womb. That means they have to be gullible when they exit the womb. So that's how I exited the womb a gullible girly, which makes April Fool's Day. Well, I'm everyone's favorite target and now that you know, now that I've placed that target on myself, it's just going to keep going. Now that you know, now that I've placed that target on myself, it's just going to keep going. I will never, ever forget about this till the day I die.
Speaker 1:So it was not on April Fool's Day proper, I don't believe, but it was a prank. It was at some point in high school. We're walking around the campus, I think like leaving lunch or something, and the guys in front of us are like whispering and doing their you know high school dude thing. Right, I noticed they're like obviously talking about whoever's walking a ways in front of them, and they nudge one of the guys at the time we're going to call him Jim. They nudge Jim and Jim races up to who looks like their guy friend, troy, up ahead. So Jim's running up to Troy and grabs Troy from behind and gives him a noogie and then stops and everyone starts cracking up and screaming because that was not Troy, it was not his buddy Troy, it was the assistant principal at the time, who everyone did not, was not a fan of yeah. So he immediately red faced. I mean, the look on his face was out of a movie and that was hilarious. Hopefully that wasn't a you had to be there story, because if it was, I apologize first of all, but second of all I'll make up for it Because I thought let's look up some prank stories, shall we?
Speaker 1:Let's hear some good ones, and none other than Reddit. Reddit is a treasure trove of stories and off-the-wall comments. So you know, just giving you a major heed of warning if you've never used Reddit somehow. Giving you a major heed of warning if you've never used Reddit somehow. First one we have One year for April Fool's.
Speaker 1:The local newspaper posted an article about a truck full of wine bottles that had crashed. The article stated that wine was spilling everywhere and they didn't want it to go to waste so anyone could bring buckets to fill. One guy at my dad's work saw the article and ran out. All the people at work laughed at him. Halfway to the place where the truck supposedly was, the guy realized his mistake. He then went and bought a couple of cheap wine bottles which he emptied into the bucket he had brought with him and then walked back into work tricking a couple of other people to run out for this wine truck. I like it. Flip the script, uno, reverse. I'm going to lock that in for next time. Just play the person on their own prank. Here's another one.
Speaker 1:We had an IT guy at work that could not keep a secret. He was famous for it. It earned him the nickname Loose Lips. Anyway, one day my boss security did not come in because of another obligation. Loose Lips, who worked constantly on our high-tech security system, asked where he was and my work partner, in a moment of inspiration, said I can't tell you. Loose Lips became excited and begged. Finally, partner, that's the nickname they're giving. The boss quote caved and swore Loose Lips to secrecy Then told him our supervisor was on his way to Moncton to collect the 10 million dollars he won the night before in a lottery Absolute BS.
Speaker 1:We had a great time using our security cameras tracking him going from cubicle to cubicle, from building to building. We kept our supervisor informed by text of the developments. He was amused to say the least. But mid-afternoon we got a text from him. Loose-lipped nose, I just texted him instead of you by mistake. Sure enough, the cameras revealed a fuming loose-lip stomping towards the security building. He charged in, swore at us. He was not a happy camper. But wait, my partner said we swore to you to secrecy. Who did you tell? Loose-lips? His shoulders sagged. I told everybody he moaned. Told everybody he moaned. Well, now you'd better go tell them all the truth. Yeah, I guess Much hilarity watching him retrace his steps. The great thing is, a gag depended on his own character fault to be successful, and it was a great success. By the way, he didn't improve. That's another flip the script, except they just proved themselves.
Speaker 1:In my college dorms, rooms were organized into suites of four rooms, eight people that had a private bathroom, living room, balcony and hallway. Each suite was permanently locked from the main hallway so you needed a key or needed to knock to get it. Me and my roommate had a bunch of friends in another suite. We lived with them the previous year but left them for a 10th floor amazing view and one night we went to their suite to return a borrowed Xbox controller. Upon leaving, we duct taped thin cardboard over the hole that the doorknob latch goes into, thus making the door closed but unlocked. We came back at like 3 in the morning when we were sure they were all asleep and we placed on the toilet in the bathroom stall a dummy that we made. He was made of jeans, shoes and a hoodie all bought from Value Village, whatever that is stuffed with crumpled newspaper. His quote head was a plastic bag stuffed with newspaper. Then we locked the stall door from the inside.
Speaker 1:The next morning the girl that had spent the night there awkwardly waited over half an hour for the quote guy in the stall to leave but ended up just walking down to the lobby to use the restroom. A guy sat in the stall next to the quote occupied one and attempted to make small talk. Then, feeling really awkward when the guy wouldn't respond, a number of suitemates tried to figure out who's been in the bathroom so long, and when they talked about it together they realized that it had been hours. One of them finally took the risk of peering in the crack and they had a good laugh about it and called us to talk. They knew it must have been my roommate and I. There's a part two. That last prank was then used as a setup to this next prank.
Speaker 1:I snuck into their suite again with the help of my roommate, this time at a normal time like five o'clock in the evening. However, I was dressed in the same shoes, jeans and hoodie as our dummy, stuffed with some extra newspaper to make me crumply. I even had the plastic bag with newspaper over my head, with room to breathe, don't worry. I sat on a toilet for maybe 20 minutes, this time with the door unlocked. Then someone noticed my shoes and looked in the stall gap. He went to some other guys to show them that Gabe and Ryan did it again. When he came back with other guys, they opened the stall door and one of them reached forward to grab what they thought was the dummy. So I grabbed him back, stood up and screamed, and they screamed. It was hilarious.
Speaker 1:I like that one. I like that one a lot. It doesn't really hurt you. It's a good one because it's it's somewhat innocent, you know I I mean there's nothing like somehow. It's still wholesome, the wholesome joy and laughter of seeing someone else get pranked or scared and they let out like a little crazy shriek and then you know if it's not too scary. It's pretty hilarious to see.
Speaker 1:Oh, this one is good, okay, my friend and his girlfriend recently got engaged. As an engagement gift, a bunch of us got together to buy a portrait for them. We bought the portrait from this guy named Picasso, who's famous for drawing portraits with his ding dong. The portrait even came with a video of him drawing it with his ding dong. Neither one of them has ever seen this video. When we gave the painting to them, they were all really excited and we told them that the paints had a taste to them and that they should give it a lick and smell it. They must have tried licking that stupid portrait for at least five minutes before giving up. Oh, they currently have their portrait hanging in their living room above the fireplace. We do not plan to give them the DVD of him painting their faces with his wang for at least a few years DVD, and now you really, you really are looking at 12 year old stories. So every time one of us comes over we get a nice chuckle at the Wang painting they have so proudly hung on their wall Proudly hung.
Speaker 1:I would love to hear your favorite prank stories, whether they involve you or not. So if you want to share any that I can read on the next episode, feel free to press send us a text which you can find in the episode show notes and that will take you directly to chat with us. I'm so happy we started to get our first ones in and it's fun to read y'all's messages. So keep it up, homies, keep it up Now. While I was on Reddit, naturally, I just kept scrolling and it gave me an idea for this next little segment.
Speaker 1:Here we're going to talk about some of the most ridiculous specific celebrity requests, sometimes called writers. So if a musician is on tour, they'll give off this writer or piece of paper that basically tells them. It's basically an instruction set, almost like a branding guideline for my marketing peeps out there, but basically requesting all the shit that they want in their green room to notes on how they want the sound guys to handle, you know the live production throughout the show, lighting, all that kind of thing. But the most exciting pieces of information in these writers are the kind of wacky requests that celebrities will make. Because I'm nosy and want to know such things, I figured maybe you do too. Think of me as a little Dumois moment here. All of this is just read directly from what's put on the internet, so nothing is confirmed as truth, necessarily. But I don't know. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Okay, so Joe Jonas has asked for 12 puppies backstage and apparently he has confirmed that one. He did indeed ask for 12 puppies.
Speaker 1:Kanye asked for Carmex everywhere he goes, and one time he asked for a specific type of water that the employees had to go to another city to find. I mean, that's not really that shocking. Kevin Hart requests five women, what? Between the ages of 21 through 27 with an athletic build. Well, that's his type right there. Beyonce asked for her room to be kept at 78 degrees the whole time she was in it. That's really warm. Kylie Jenner wanted a hotel employee to stay with her 24-7. Cardi B always asked for squid and Pepsi Future always requests a lavender candle. That's kind of cute. Drake asked for four dozen naturally scented incense sticks. Christina Aguilera asked for the driver to never get stuck in traffic Don't you dare. Rihanna asked for a big fur rug for her to walk on barefoot I mean, that sounds nice and blue or black chiffon curtains she just wants the aesthetics, right. Is she a Taurus? I don't know. Appreciates the finer things.
Speaker 1:Justin Timberlake requires the doorknobs of wherever he's going to be disinfected every two hours. Eminem used to ask for six Lunchables three turkey and three ham with 24 cans and 24 plastic bottles of Diet Coke. Also, to add, one time Justin Timberlake asked to only ride the employee elevator at a hotel, but he didn't want the employees to walk down the hallway at the same time, so instead his team followed behind him to make sure that the employees basically waited where they could not be seen or heard from, until he got on the elevator. All that for a tiny, ding-donged man. I say that because the photos, if you have not seen these, they took photos of Justin Timberlake on tour in one of those hydraulic suits so that he can be lifted into the air Basically one of those crotch security belts that connect you to something. And it was not looking good for Justin Timberlake and people were making fun of him all over the internet and then he started wearing long t-shirts so that people couldn't take photos of his crotch and make fun of him. That's actually really sad. The more I talked about it, madonna, she always had to have a new toilet seat because she could not use one that somebody else had used. That is a pre-Madonna thing to do.
Speaker 1:Samuel L Jackson said you can call him Mr Jackson, sam or Samuel. Do not call him Sammy, which is a really normal thing. To just request people call you or not call you a name, I guess, but in this context is pretty hilarious. So they also wrote the temptation to call him Sammy was real, for real. Tell someone not to do something that's the quickest way to get someone to do that thing. Usually or maybe I just surround myself with people like me, and here's a creepier one Now, knowing, uh, the very, very dark history behind Mr Marilyn Manson, uh, that can bea whole other episode where I can give you the full story of that.
Speaker 1:But Marilyn Manson a musician. He wanted black fabric hung over the windows and walls of his dressing room and AC, as cold as it would go. We were instructed not to look him in the eyes. I was in high school at the time, working at a catering company. The music venue was on the bank of a river and there was a secluded fire pit area behind the venue for the artist to enjoy. Manson came backstage where we prepared food and asked for a bag of apples. He wanted to throw them at passing boats from that fire pit area. Of apples, he wanted to throw them at passing boats from that fire pit area. Interesting, really indicative of the kind of person he is, just enjoys cruelty and intimidation of all kinds. Yeah, my good.
Speaker 1:Stuart Lee, a UK comedian, has a funny bit about Dave Chappelle's writer requests, which he found out after performing on the same bill as him one night. Their requests were for all the normal light bulbs around the mirror to be replaced with red bulbs, lots of bottles of champagne and two rotisserie chickens rotating on individual rotisserie skewers. What made these diva-like demands even funnier was that apparently this wasn't some massive venue. It was a small UK theater holding about 300 capacity max To be able to request these kinds of things. I suppose it's like once you make it and you're there, maybe everybody's tempted to make some crazy wild request.
Speaker 1:People talking about what celebrities have requested on these writers is not a new topic of conversation. In fact, people find it obviously very interesting. But this all came about. It started really back with Van Halen. They would request a bowl of M&Ms and that all of the brown. Some say brown, some say green, I'm going to guess it's brown because that's like the most boring color. But they would request that they remove all of the brown ones and people thought this was crazy because obviously, like that's like the most boring color. But they would request that they remove all of the brown ones and people thought this was crazy because obviously like that's such a mean, almost just monotonous, boring task to give to somebody. But then, allegedly, years down the road, they said that this was all part of a strategy really to make sure that the teams are reading the writer and their paperwork super carefully. They can look at the bowl of M&Ms, if it's there, and see if they read all the details and paid attention. If they messed that up, then they could probably mess something up important having to do with the production of their live show at the venue. So that was allegedly their strategy. Whether or not that's true or just to make sure we don't think that they're that much of divas.
Speaker 1:It is time for Pop Culture News Nuggets, where I tell you what everyone's talking about. And what we're going to talk about first is our girl, chapel Roan, who, by the way, in preparing for this podcast I was making sure I was pronouncing her name right. I ended up having to Google it and have some robot speak it for me, because you know, when you say a word so many times or pronounce it, that it just starts feeling all wrong. You know, gives you the feelings like no, wait, no, no, and you gaslight yourself into oblivion. Wait, no, no, and you gaslight yourself into oblivion. That's what I just did with Chapel Roan.
Speaker 1:Chapel Roan, the 27-year-old pop star who was catapulted into fame and stardom kind of really over the last year or so, but she's been around. She's released several albums before the rise and fall of a Midwest princess, but that's really when her career took off. She's been the center of lots of internet conversations and criticism quite a few times in the recent past after she gained popularity or really like this crazy skyrocketed popularity. Let's be honest. He will question if she's ever truly been media trained based on her responses she gives, both in interviews and just out in public while, you know, speaking with paparazzi or interviewers or media on the red carpet, she's kind of has a flippant attitude and I think it's part of what people love about her is she's very quote real People love her for her kind of bold, flippant, kind of playful attitude. That can at times come off the wrong way, which I think is the case in the latest interview she just did with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy.
Speaker 1:Chapel has moms across the internet up in arms and divided with a semi-controversial statement, I suppose. So Alex Cooper and Chapel Rohn were having a conversation about how Chapel's career skyrocketed so quickly and kind of well, seemingly out of the blue, when you've been working on something for years and years, as she has, and how that's changed her lifestyle in both obvious and not so obvious ways. And Chapel mentions that, coming from the Midwest, many of her friends who are also assuming around the same age of 27, that they'll have kids now and bought houses, and how her life is so much different than her friends who are all young mothers. And then Alex asked her you know, do you want to have kids? Like, do you seriously love having kids? Chapel responded saying all of my friends who have kids are in hell. I actually don't know anyone who's happy and has children at this age. I've literally not met anyone who's happy, anyone who is light in their eyes, who has slept, and obviously that is literally just a single quote pulled from an entire podcast interview. So keep that in mind.
Speaker 1:So that clip started making its way across TikTok and, right or wrong, pissed off a bunch of moms and obviously broad stroke comment from Chapel and she's probably exaggerating to be entertaining, but I don't think that she's all that wrong and where she's coming from as a woman without kids and now kind of thinking about facing that question more seriously than ever, I suppose just because that's what happens naturally as you get older that I'm not so sure. If I personally want to have kids and I've grown up always wanting to it's just a scary thought being completely responsible for another human's life, but we're not talking about me. I think that what Chapel's getting at is that young women who are unmarried or don't have kids we are hit with, I mean horror story after horror story after horror story from our women peers around us telling us about their experiences and how much of a nightmare it is, and mostly the ones that I can remember, yes, are filled with nightmare examples of just crazy kids, no sleep, losing their minds, no time for themselves and sexless marriages and all of that. That's just what we hear. I think that those stories change at least from my perspective of being around pregnant women, I think it becomes. They still get those, but I think that there are a lot more positive stories shared to them, which is probably good.
Speaker 1:All to say, that comment shouldn't have been as controversial as it was is really my biggest opinion in all of this. So if you go on any social media platform or just look up her name, you'll find articles from all media sites and publications talking about this uproar that she's caused and it's not the first time she's caused an uproar. She tends to take up that whole kind of tired used bit that celebrities and influencers will use where they complain about being famous and you know, try being an influencer for a day kind of vibes and um, and I can think of very few scenarios where that argument or that stance has worked in that person's favor, truthfully. So I do think we need to drop that, and people don't want to hear that. Especially, she's not just an influencer or content creator, she is a musician are countless artists and musicians out there that would do anything to swap places with her and blow up overnight as she did, even though that whole phrase like something like an overnight success. Rarely, if ever, are they actually overnight successes. That's just the part that we see, so keep that in mind whenever venture you're doing. Nothing is truly an overnight success.
Speaker 1:Chapel Roan had been working in the industry for 10 years, busking in the streets like you know all those musicians on the streets. That's asking for change. Yeah, that's where she started. Everybody starts somewhere. So that's what I had to tell myself when I was starting this whole shebang. Sometimes it takes just completely putting your ego and your self-conscious thoughts and shoving them in a closet and then you can unlock that closet later once you do it and you know, organize through it and then shut it again, because if you spend too much time in that closet you won't ever come out. And I'm not talking sexually, no, I mean we're going to just really gracefully move on from that and get right back to Chapel.
Speaker 1:I feel a little bit badly for Chapel in the sense that she's been extremely scrutinized and largely because she is so publicly identifies as queer that people assume she then needs to speak for them at all times and she's kind of been bombarded to take up a political stance and opinions and all of that. So she's expressed frustrations with that part. In that part I can totally get behind and understand. The one that's annoying is the complaining of being famous and like complaining about your success. However, I don't think her comments about motherhood should be as inflammatory as they have been. Lots of moms on TikTok responded with basically montages of loving moments between them and their kids and saying you know, we're not in hell. A baby looking at you and smiling isn't hell, and I think that's the point being missed here. I don't think Chapel Roan hates babies Right and Chapel Roan hates babies right, although, I might add, if there are so many controversies in such a short period of time for things that are coming out of your mouth, maybe that's something to self-reflect on. I will say Just maybe, but I guess we all make mistakes.
Speaker 1:Sydney Sweeney and her fiancé now ex-fiance jonathan devino, have officially separated. While it doesn't come as a complete surprise if you're paying attention to that this closely, I suppose sources like tmz and other publications had release information in January. I believe that Sydney Sweeney was possibly living separately at the Beverly Hills Hotel for about a month or so before she went on to Paris Fashion Week without her fiance anywhere in sight, but nothing was officially confirmed until this week. A few days ago, they released their official PR note, if you will, pr announcement that Sydney and Jonathan had separated, but mostly due to Sweeney needing to focus on her career. If that's true, we don't know, but the internet will guess, net will guess. And of course, this re-sparked up rumors, dating rumors between herself and Glenn Powell, who she co-starred with in the movie Anyone but you, great chick flick movie which I truthfully didn't even fully watch until literally last weekend. So I guess an instance where my timing is impeccable, might I add.
Speaker 1:The source goes on to say that Sweeney has been focusing on work amid the end of her engagement. She's exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Sid. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects, and all of her projects, lots of big ones. So Euphoria finally, finally, finally, finally, finally going to be given to us all and it's going to be delightful. Some of her projects excitingly include, obviously so the new season of Euphoria, but also she is going to be in the leading role for the movie version of the Housemaid and as well as the real-life boxer Christy Martin, and another movie she'll be playing, screen star Kim Novak. So lots of biopics these days too. So she's super busy.
Speaker 1:But people wonder, does that mean they broke it off because of Glenn? But people wonder, does that mean they broke it off because of Glenn? Well, as people learn this news, some more details kind of came out in that apparently the relationship had been rocky for a while, but Jonathan DeVino had been a producer on the movie Anyone but you and present in the filming for pretty much its entirety. And Glenn Powell's mom, cindy Powell, even came out to dispel those rumors and say they're definitely not dating and that they just enjoy each other's company and they're good friends. A tale as old as time. Time will tell, yeah, but they actually. So they started dating when Sidney Sweeney was 19 years old and Jonathan was. I guess he had to have been 33 then and then. So it was a total seven year relationship and I'd been engaged for four.
Speaker 1:I could say I'm not judging, but I'll be real kind of judging. Do you boo and have a long engagement, but for me personally, no like shit or get off the pot. You know what I mean. I guess, in this instance I am a toilet bowl, so I hate that phrase now, oh, but as I was watching Anyone but you I was like, oh, wow, so Glenn Powell must be pretty, pretty short, right? Although I have not going to brag or anything, I have met him in Austin. He's from Texas and there's family, friends and relation or whatever, and I didn't remember him being super short by any means. It's not that he's small. Sidney Sweeney is only five foot three. Did you know that? Now you do, because I didn't know that. So all it takes is a quick Google search, but I did eventually figure it out. So she's only 5'3". I feel like all actors, that's another legally binding contract. If you want to be an actor or an actress, you have to be pretty short, or you know you're an exception.
Speaker 1:Up next on the celebrities that people are mad at is Morgan Wallen. Again, morgan Wallen, the country superstar singer, who really knows how to stay in the news. I'll tell you what. If that is his goal, baby, he's achieving it with flying colors. This time it's for walking off the stage of SNL. That may not immediately sound like a big deal and it may still not be a big deal. It isn't in the you know scheme of things, but it's customary and it happens after every episode. When the credits start rolling, the band will start playing again and the cast and host and musical guest all get together, mingle. We watch the end of that, yada yada. Typically to that there's an after party that the host will go to and you know, do after party things.
Speaker 1:Instead of doing that, morgan Wallen walked directly off stage which happened to be directly in front of the camera, at least that we were seeing as the audience and passed the cameraman and you could just see Kenan Thompson's facial expressions and it was pretty hilarious and there was far less people than usual. It appeared lingering on the stage, so it had people wondering wait, what just happened? Why did he just storm off Like? Did something go down in the middle of the show? People immediately noticed something was off, and then the plot thickened because shortly thereafter, morgan Wallen posted on Instagram a story of the plane that he was about to get on, with the words get me to God's country right after walking off the stage and heading home. So it became pretty clear that there was some sort of message he's trying to make there.
Speaker 1:Given his history, it seems to be that he's making some sort of shade at both the show itself for previously uninviting him to host, and maybe just making some sort of political statement as well. Back in 2020, kind of when Morgan Wallen's career was really really taking off in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic SNL had invited him to host and be the musical performance for the show. He happened to have been on tour I suppose it was still a thing going on and then posted a ton of videos of him after a show taking shots and allegedly making out with a bunch of college girls from the University of Alabama, and that made its rounds, and people were put off by that for a multitude of reasons, especially at the height of COVID no masks and that was like the biggest sin back then and I mean, you know, for good reason. Looking back, however, they uninvited him to make some sort of statement too and for obvious reason not to get everybody else sick, he kind of put his tail between his legs and moved on, but he definitely got like a finger wagging. Then, of course, there's more things that he did that are a bit more inflammatory. For instance, the following year, another video surfaced of Morgan Wallen using a racial slur, and then he decided it had been too long since he'd made a ruckus in the news and he threw a chair off of the balcony or roof or something of a Nashville bar on Broadway and he was taken to jail for that and ultimately fined. And all of this Like he didn't spend time behind bars, but he was definitely charged and legally hand slapped for that. Then, to add this on top of it, it's just, I mean, the hits keep coming.
Speaker 1:Kenan Thompson was asked about his thoughts on it and he gave the best kind of response, essentially saying yeah, it's pretty customary for people to stick around and we all kind of looked around thinking what's happening, but he must be, you know, just a complicated individual. And that, by him saying going back to God's country, are we, are we not all in God's country? Were you not in God's country beforehand? Great response and pretty much wraps up how I feel. But that's just why Morgan Wallen is currently in the hot seat and I will leave you with some good shit to watch.
Speaker 1:What is streaming, a good show to rot to, although I will warn you, it is probably one of the raunchiest reality TV dating shows I've seen in some time, and that says something. So be warned. So if you want to indulge in that kind of lovely reality TV, dessert, temptation Island on Netflix, if you have not yet seen it. It was originally broadcasted on Fox way back in 2001 through 2003. So not that long, but honestly, it gives the vibes of early 2000s show, and how I'm shocked it's still airing what they aired, but it was remade on USA in 2018.
Speaker 1:The rights eventually got shifted over to Netflix, but it's for couples where they come to an island and essentially test their fidelity. I don't know why you would want to do this really, but I guess if you're about to break up or it's like, okay, biggest test ever, can you stay true to me? Like, am I the one for you? I don't know, but it makes good TV. So basically, the men and the women are in separate houses and they are joined by, I think, like something like 10 to 12 single contestants and basically throwing themselves at them to try and tempt them, and then her significant other proceeds to watch. Clips of these happen at a quote bonfire, very Love Island-esque. So if you want to be entertained, but like in a non-intellectual way at all, just something like that Trash TV, do it. It's very entertaining and plenty to talk about if you want to talk about it later. If you don't want to watch reality TV, you should watch the Studio on Apple TV+.
Speaker 1:It's Seth Rogen's latest TV series that he also stars in, and so do a shitload of other celebrities. It's still releasing episodes. So if you join now, it will be watching week by week, but there are two or three out. Seth Rogen made it and it's about a man whose job, to basically quote, make things happen in filmmaking, and he is the newly appointed person in charge at Continental Studios. Matt Remick is not only in pursuit of creating great movies, but also grappling with stress, egos and executive bigwigs who are all part of the process. It's a world where bringing projects to life can be productive, satisfying and destructive. He's not the only one under pressure. Continental Studios' team is driven but prone to conflict, and it's part of the job to be on edge, whether it's on set, at an industry event or in their own building. The series features a packed cast and parade of cameos this is what I'm talking about, including Katherine Hahn, katherine O'Hara, ike Barinholtz, brian Cranston, martin Scorsese, ron Howard, steve Buscemi, ice Cube Zoe Kravitz, quinta Brunson and Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos.
Speaker 1:If you want some true crime, I suggest you watch the documentary on Karen Reed and the Karen Reed trial, because that is coming back up in the future and I'm not going to give anything away. It's a true crime docuseries about a trial of a woman who was believed to have been set up by local cops for the death of her husband, dun dun dun. It's super interesting and I will definitely put out a video or a podcast episode solely on Karen Reid trial, because it is wild, as always. Thank you so much for listening.
