Send a text Hilary Duff is back to music with her new album Luck… or Something, and Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne drops her debut solo album No Hard Feelings. We’re diving into the drama surrounding the new America’s Next Top Model doc, and we have to talk about the upcoming Hannah Montana special that has us deep in our Disney Channel nostalgia. Lastly, unpacking why audiences spiral when movies stray from their source material (yes, we’re still talking about the new Wuthering Heights).
Send a text This week on PopTake, we break down Britney Spears selling her catalogue, the obsession with finding the “next” pop girl, and which pop girlies like (Bebe Rexha) are still in the Khia asylum. We also react to the steamy new Wuthering Heights (spoilers ahead) and close things out with our favourite love songs for Valentine’s Day joined by our special guest, and pop music lover, Brett Owens.
Send a text We are so back. We dive headfirst into the Grammys; the wins, the snubs, and the moments that had us shook. Taylor Swift dropped her new Opalite music video the same day as Charli XCX premiered The Moment, what a coincidence. We saw the new Wuthering Heights film, get into what makes it so steamy, and are still reeling about Traitor (Tate) McRae.
Send a text Dive into our PopTake wrapped where we discuss our favourite album, singles, movies, tv shows and releases of the year. Plus some last minute contenders like Heated Rivalry.
Send a text It's a stacked week for music with new releases from Katy Perry, Hilary Duff, FKA Twigs and Charli XCX. One of us also went to see Sabrina Carpenter live (TWICE) and I get you can't guess who.
Send a text Canadian Pop Icon, Alyssa Reid joins the PopTake to talk about her music career and returning to the stage on November 15th at Toronto's The Mod Club. Reid also touches on her experience on "The Next Star", her 'ASHS' project, and what's coming next. Additionally, Mikael and Hugo touch on new music from Demi Lovato, Lily Allen, Madison Beer, and more!
Send a text Sit back and relax as Hugo, Mikael and our special guest Sammy Talukder take you though this week's releases including Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl, Victoria Justice, and Sammy's debut single. This is PopTake - your source for the hottest pop culture news and topics, all while sharing their own hot takes! 🎉
Send a text This week, we’re hanging out with Lauren Ash! We talk about her debut album, Call Me When You Get This, her comedic approach, touring, and how she balances acting and music. Plus, viral videos, voice acting, dream collabs, our favourite releases of the week (JADE, Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran) and a little TIFF season chaos.
Send a text This week we’re diving into Taylor’s engagement, Life of a Showgirl, and all those album variants. We chat Sabrina’s new album, Mikael’s broken foot, Fifth Harmony REUNITED and the wild energy of TIFF season. Pure pop culture chaos, just how we like it.
Send a text We're still on a high from Osheaga. KATSEYE is serving at Lollapalooze and might be the future of pop. JoJo Siwa has entered her raspy era, Ava Max pushed her album back again. (so the internet says), and Dua Lipa is still missing in action.
Send a text Demi Lovato's new single "Fast" is the song of the summer we needed. We've got amazing new releases from Reneé Rapp, Chappell Roan and Slayyyter - queer women as usual are here to save pop music. Katy Perry becomes a contender for First Lady. Lastly, but certainly not least, we can't contain our excitement for Osheaga.
Send a text FLETCHER dropped a new album (surrounded by lots of controversy), Reneé Rapp won’t stop serving bops, Jojo Siwa is back on our radar (with her most RANDOM opener), and we dissect THAT Coldplay kiss.
Send a text Cardi B's album is finally coming but are artists taking too long between albums? New Justin Bieber and Kesha albums are here and Blackpink is BACK. But where is the Song of the Summer? Because it’s definitely not here yet.
Send a text Well, what we never thought would happen, happened. Taylor bought her masters back AND Fifth Harmony is apparently reuniting? So much new music including Addison Rae, Miley, Lorde, Ava Max AND Benny Drama’s new show Overcompensating.
Send a text Charli XCX is back on the charts with her song "Party 4 U" getting a second wind. We discuss recent movie marketing like Lilo & Stitch and Thunderbolts* and we answer the age old question - is twink offensive?
Send a text This week’s episode is a big one — we’re setting the record straight: we’re not dating. 😅 We also dive into some of our favourite album artwork (Lorde, Addison Rae, Fifth Harmony), chat about , artist who end up releasing leaked music (Selena Gomez, Lana Del Ray, Gracie Abrams), and artist who need their “Espresso” moment (Ava Max, Little Mix, Meghan Trainor and more).
Send a text Katy Perry takes her song ET to a whole new meaning on today's episode! On today's episode, we talk new music from Marina, with Lorde, Addison Rae and Heidi Montag teasing their summer singles. Plus, our Coachella predictions and our take on the recent JoJo Siwa incident on Celebrity Big Brother...
Send a text Two gay besties start a pop culture podcast. How original... On our first episode, we discuss the return of visual albums, all thanks to Miley Cyrus (Something Beauitful) and Ariana Grande (Eternal Sunshine: Brighter Days Ahead - deluxe), videos games to movie adaptations (Minecraft, Sonic the Headhog, Super Mario Bros. Resident Evil, 5 Nights Of Freedy) and our very first big red (orange) carpet at the 2025 JUNOs.
