Deepti and Sean discuss the brutal past few episodes of Beverly Hills. Come ON Amanda....how is she seriously this insanely not self aware??? Also why is Kyle continuing this charade of being friends with Dorit? We can see straight through it all! Everyone goes to Italy and honestly...what is even happening? The fights are sub-par. Rachel is giving a lot. But for some reason Deepti is tiring of her persona...but maybe only b/c all of RHOBH is exhausting right now??
Love Story discussion first; then Southern Charm Reunion discussion begins at 14min 40sec. Deepti and Sean discuss the continued downfall of the Love Story limited series and then the continued downfall of Craig, Austen and Salley on Southern Charm! Austen is having a TERRIBLE reunion this season along with Craig. Salley isn't helping herself much either! Even though she did NOT deserve the horrible commentary from Austen about her. Yikes!
Deepti and Sean are LOVING the Ladies of London reboot. These cast members are incredible!! Kimi and Martha obviously the faves. Dara - wow the villain we didn't get enough of huh? How much do we marvel over this Lottie and Joshua relationship? It's...something else that's for sure! Missé's background and everything with her brother - we need loads more info now. This show is GREAT and it's sad there are only going to be 7 eps this season!
Deepti and Sean discuss moments of glory and moment of meh from the 98th Annual Oscars Award ceremony. Timothée Chalamet's fall from grace, why Marty Supreme won nothing, the big night for both Sinners and One Battle After Another, who looked good/who looked bad, Deepti's new crushes...and much more.
Deepti and Sean chat briefly about Summer House and a lot about Southern Charm latest few episodes. On Summer House, Bailey's awkward weird rude comment at dinner about Ben wanting Amanda was cringe BUT it *did* create some drama worth watching. Also, even though Ben deservedly got angry about it, he kind of took it too far?? In other Summer House news, Deepti and Sean don't buy that West is truly pining for Ciara. Sean presents a great tinfoil hat theory on the rumors about West and Am...
Deepti and Sean take major aim at Jesse's corny douchey awful lame behavior for much of this PCP episode! He is having a deservedly horrible season so far. West is getting a pretty darn good edit. Deepti continues to be actively angry at Kyle. Deepti and Sean both marvel at how Ben keeps being called "so hot"....he needs to bring more to the table at this point.
TODAY IS THE 6 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF POP CULTURE PRISONER!!! What better way to celebrate than to share an episode discussing the ever popular FX show about CBK and JFK Jr's tragic love story. Deepti is unfortunately starting to sour a little on the show since there are so many FICTIONS in this show based on real people. They discuss the acting, comparisons to Carrie Bradshaw, what's made up (and what's not) and and also the fabulous music.
Deepti and Sean LOOOOVED the Tyra Banks takedown in the 3 part docu-series on the infamous America's Next Top Model reality show that reigned the airwaves for quite a few years. Deepti hadn't ever watched the show but Sean did and they both bring in their perspectives about the show (it was such a huge part of the zeitgeist for so long so you knew about it whether you watched it or not back in the day) into their thoughts on the documentary getting into the nasty nitty-gritty background going...
Deepti and Sean have been chomping at the bit to talk about this limited Ryan Murphy series about American royalty couple JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy who tragically died in 1999 in a plane crash. This show has flaws (some of the acting...oh boy) but watching it also feels like a warm blanket. You just hunker down and watch and get transported to another world and time and it's the best! Love the return back to the NYC 1990s!! Love seeing the ins and outs of how these two gorgeous peop...
Deepti and Sean have caught up with Southern Charm and are a little dismayed by how much the season that started out strong has plateaued! But thank goodness Austen has finally broken up with Audrey...watching Craig get that news was so hilarious. Straight men loving gossip is hilarious. Salley's thirst for Austen was almost...disturbing? Like come on, Salley, cool it a BIT!? Venita - WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH HER??? Is she not living on our same planet? What nonsensical drama is she trying to p...
Deepti and Sean continue to talk about Kyle and Amanda's incessant fighting. Sean is wayyy more "over it" than Deepti is! Deepti is also way more actively perturbed by Kyle's behavior and attitude. NOT to be overshadowed by Deepti's maybe almost illogical irritation by Jesse. West continues to be pretty charming. (But Ciara can do so much better than ALL THESE DUDES on this show!!) #SummerHouse #Bravo #RealityTV
~Jill Zarin Superbowl discussion begins around minute 32. Sean has just finished Season 3 of RHONY on her first full watch of the show and they discuss the great big Jill-Bethenny fight, the arrival of Sonja Morgan to RHONY, Luann was dating JACQUES at this point in the show, Alex McCord finally got a REAL set of balls this season and started becoming way more aggro on the show...so much good stuff! Then they discuss the well-deserved firing that Jill Zarin got from the new E! sho...
Deepti and Sean are thrilled Summer House is back! Amanda and Kyle's marriage will finally officially implode this season and they're off to the most acrimonious start ever in the season opener. New cast members Bailey, Levi and Ben all seem fine so far...time will tell. Deepti and Sean both agree that while Ben is obviously good looking, he REALLY needs a hair glow-up STAT. Carl...Oh Carl. Always rooting for him but...? Ciara uses A LOT of sunscreen. Deepti and Sean have HIGH HOPES for...
Sean is watching RHONY in full for the first time!! Deepti chats with her about her impressions of all the ladies in the first two seasons. Deepti also shares a special little run-in she had last month with one of the cast members!!!!! Quick note - Deepti and Sean didn't know that some of the ladies just got a deal for Legacy RHONY on E! when they recorded this episode! The news had JUST come out before they started recording. #RHONY #Bravo #RealityTV #RealHousewivesOfNewYork
We're over halfway through this fabulous season of Traitors! Rob Rausch has so far won all of our hearts. YOWZERS. Deepti and Sean think that Candiace has been such a fantastic traitor....UNTIL the end of episode 7 at least. (Many on the internet may disagree with that.) Deepti and Sean delve deeper into what was going on with the cast and Ron Funches and with Dorinda in general. Also - side note...Michael Rappaport has just been trash and Colton suckssss. All this and more all discussed on t...
Deepti and Sean cannot stop LOVING the drama on Southern Charm this season. Craig is a monster, Austen is awesome (WELLLL...that's Deepti's opinion, Sean might not fully agree), Rodrigo is finally showing UP for work!, Deepti finally found Whitner attractive in one episode, both Sean and Deepti are still just always so tickled by Patricia (and Whitney - yes they can't help it, he's such a ridiculous human)...the drama with the Salley, Charley and Venita is pretty staged and dumb but somehow i...
TLC dropped a 3 part docu-series on Mary Cosby from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. HOLY CRAP! Deepti and Sean are both FLOOOOORED. Deepti had been following the general "is Mary a cult leader" gossip out there on the internet. But even so, she did not know HOW BAD things were. (If you listen to this Pop Culture Prisoner episode, you basically don't have to watch the doc?!) The doc splices in parts of the RHOSLC show to help contextualize all these allegations against Mary and things...
Deepti and Sean discuss general thoughts on all the cast members (and friend-of) for the first three episodes. They don't necessarily DISAGREE on Dorit's weaknesses but only one of them still wants her on her screen still; Kyle got a section of ire; Rachel is a REAL queen; AMANDA IS *NOT* A MONEY QUEEN WTF!!!!!!!!!; Erika has a new boyfriend according to the gossip blogs and WWHL; Deepti and Sean discuss thoughts on Boz at length as well as a tangent on a certain Indian comedian in the "news"...
Deepti and Sean are thrilled Southern Charm is back. They express their disdain for Craig so far this season, admit that they're rooting for Austen, try to understand Mollie, analyze Venita's whole arc on the show, begrudgingly appreciate Whitney, try to figure out if Whitner is a psycho or just super disciplined ... and chat about all sorts of additional nonsense from the first four episodes of the new season!
Deepti embarks on her first solo podcast episode! As a Swiftie, it's her duty to discuss the new Taylor Swift album that has greatly divided the planet! Deepti sings its praises but also has some *notes* on what are some baffling choices Taylor made on this album. Deepti talks criticisms and criticisms of criticisms. And she generally acknowledges that she feels schizophrenic about this album. ENJOY!
