- 1:05I have been traversing the states, moving the country.
- 1:10So I'm so excited to catch up with Shauna today,
- 1:13and really just talk about what we're looking forward to
- 1:16in this year, just aside from visiting each other.
- 1:21- I know!
- 1:22- I want to talk a little bit,
- 1:24I want to talk a little bit about the TV shows,
- 1:26the books that we're most excited for,
- 1:29and of course the music.
- 1:31- I don't know if you had a chance to see.
- 1:33- I got a big one.
- 1:34I got a big one.
- 1:35- Yeah, let me say it.
- 1:37- Yes.
- 1:38- LG7 was just announced at the time of recording,
- 1:42and that is Lady Gaga 7.
- 1:45- And it is going.
- 1:46- Right.
- 1:47- And LG7 flip phone was announced today.
- 1:49- LG7 Chocolate.
- 1:51- Chocolate 7.
- 1:52- Oh my God, the chocolate ones.
- 1:54What a five, dude.
- 1:55- Yeah.
- 1:56- Lady Gaga's seventh studio album,
- 1:58and it will be called Mayhem,
- 2:01and it is going to be released on March 7th.
- 2:04The lead single was disease,
- 2:05which I think is an incredible lead single,
- 2:08and I'm really hoping that the whole album,
- 2:11sorry, my hair's sticking to my microphone.
- 2:13(laughing)
- 2:14- Your hair was so excited as well.
- 2:16(laughing)
- 2:17- I'm really hoping that the whole album
- 2:19kind of sticks to this like dark,
- 2:21goth pop vibe that disease had, 'cause that is my whole vibe.
- 2:26So that is right off the bat,
- 2:28something I'm extremely excited about this year.
- 2:31- And that's not connected to the Joker, right?
- 2:34- No, she released LG 6.5,
- 2:38which was called Harlequin,
- 2:40which was all, well mostly cover songs,
- 2:43and the minute she released that,
- 2:47I gave it one listen 'cause it's Gaga,
- 2:49but it's all kind of like big band,
- 2:53I don't know, cover songs.
- 2:55She's got a wonderful voice,
- 2:56but it's just not my kind of music.
- 2:58And then Joker flopped so hard that she backed the FOA
- 3:02from that album.
- 3:03She was like, "Oh, just kidding guys, okay, okay, here's disease.
- 3:07Here's my new pop single."
- 3:09Remember that?
- 3:10Remember pop music?
- 3:11So yeah, we're out of the Joker era, thank God.
- 3:14I still haven't even watched it,
- 3:16'cause I've just heard it was so bad.
- 3:17- That's good to know.
- 3:17- Yeah.
- 3:18- I had seen it from you,
- 3:21and then my coworker who had disease
- 3:25as their number one song in 2024.
- 3:28- Oh, I love that.
- 3:29- And it had just gotten released.
- 3:30It was this number one song.
- 3:32And I messaged it to him,
- 3:34and I was like, "Are you freaking out?"
- 3:35He was like, "I will think of nothing until March 7th."
- 3:39So, oh my God, it's good.
- 3:40I'm so excited.
- 3:42The visuals have looked so cool and creepy.
- 3:44And she kind of has Shawna Hare in all of it now.
- 3:48I look for like promo pics.
- 3:49I'm doing the side bangs today
- 3:50'cause I napped really hard on my real bangs, but.
- 3:53(laughing)
- 3:55- Napso hard, you have a side part.
- 3:57- I woke up at 12.
- 3:59- This'll work, this'll work.
- 4:01But she's got like the black hair and the bangs.
- 4:03It's a vibe, it's a vibe.
- 4:05- Well, something else that dropped yesterday,
- 4:08as well is the white Lodish trailer for season three.
- 4:13Have you seen it yet?
- 4:14- I still haven't watched season two, dude.
- 4:17- I know.
- 4:18Listen, I'm gonna get my verbal ass kicking here,
- 4:22but I was gonna board with white Lodish.
- 4:25- Oh no.
- 4:26- No, season two is much better than season one.
- 4:29- I think that you should give it a go.
- 4:32It is a Aubrey Paza, it's amazing.
- 4:35And it's just, oh, it's in Italy.
- 4:39You wanna be in Italy.
- 4:41- I do wanna be in Italy.
- 4:44- Season three is in Thailand.
- 4:46And a lot of them are kind of like power dynamics.
- 4:50I'd say season one is about wealth disparity.
- 4:54- Yeah, for sure.
- 4:55- Season two is more about gender divide.
- 4:59- I think.
- 5:00- And so each of them kind of have a theme.
- 5:02Season three, we don't necessarily know
- 5:04what it's gonna be about yet,
- 5:06but I think it's gonna be really, really interesting.
- 5:09- And it was kind of a tie-wrap.
- 5:11- But for some reason, I don't know.
- 5:13It kind of felt like it went nowhere for me.
- 5:16The last episode I guess was satisfying.
- 5:19And I did really like Jennifer Coolidge.
- 5:21So, maybe I can see some.
- 5:22- What are you talking about?
- 5:23- These guys, they're just crazy.
- 5:25- These guys.
- 5:26- They're crazy.
- 5:27- I know that quote just because it was so popular.
- 5:30And I didn't even watch it.
- 5:31- Yeah, exactly.
- 5:33And so the cast for white Lodish is,
- 5:38you'll see Walton Goggins, I think Walter Goggins.
- 5:42- You guys?
- 5:43- Yeah.
- 5:44- Parker, I love her.
- 5:46- Yeah.
- 5:47Parker Posey is gonna be in season three.
- 5:49So, I mean, it's time to, I know.
- 5:52- Yes, I love her.
- 5:54- Oh, okay.
- 5:55- Not just from Josie and the Post-Aid cast.
- 5:56- Yeah. - You gotta give it a go.
- 5:59- Oh my God.
- 5:59Maybe I'll give it a whirl.
- 6:01- Give it a whirl.
- 6:03- I have been watching so much just random stuff lately.
- 6:06So I feel like I need something like,
- 6:08I don't know, good and consistent to watch.
- 6:10Not good age, or whatever it's called.
- 6:12(laughs)
- 6:13- Yeah, you're watching these games.
- 6:16- No, why would I watch that?
- 6:19- Oh my God, he's the torturing people.
- 6:21- It's so mind numbing that like, I don't know,
- 6:26after a day sometimes, you just need to put on something.
- 6:30That is so mind numbing, it's stupid.
- 6:33And they crash like a 600 pound life watcher.
- 6:36- Oh my God, which I still watch sometimes.
- 6:38(laughs)
- 6:41- I'm also, I think the thing that I'm most excited for in 2025
- 6:46is probably my favorite zombie franchise of all time.
- 6:5028 years later.
- 6:52- Yeah, so excited for that.
- 6:56- Yeah, that's gonna be amazing.
- 6:57I just rewatched 28 weeks later a couple months ago
- 7:02and I really enjoyed it.
- 7:04So, Shana puts on this zombie prom every year
- 7:09to raise money for the modified dolls
- 7:12and causes that we care about.
- 7:14And every single time while I'm getting ready,
- 7:17I watch 28 weeks later.
- 7:19I love Killian Murphy, so I love 28 days later,
- 7:22but I do think that 28 weeks later
- 7:25is the more interesting of the two
- 7:27because it has more world building within it.
- 7:31And you really get to see like,
- 7:32oh, how would society try to rebuild?
- 7:35And then of course, you know, the disease and all that.
- 7:38- Yeah, I totally agree.
- 7:40And 28 days later, first time reason
- 7:42is really hard to find on streaming.
- 7:44Like I've tried to find it before and maybe it's,
- 7:48I'm sure it's been added now that they announced 28 years later.
- 7:51But for a while, it was really hard to find.
- 7:53I found like clips on YouTube, so that wasn't gonna do.
- 7:58So I am super excited about all of the Marvel movies
- 8:03this year and I'll go into my favorite one
- 8:07that's coming out here soon after the break.
- 8:10But the MCU is gonna have Captain America Brave New World,
- 8:15which comes out in February,
- 8:17Daredevil Born again, Thunderbolts, Iron Heart,
- 8:20Fantastic Four.
- 8:22And then some that I'm actually not that familiar with so far.
- 8:25So Eyes on Wakanda, which I think is gonna be a TV
- 8:28show Marvel Zombies, which will be a TV show
- 8:32and then Wonder Man.
- 8:33So Marvel, girly here, I will go into which one I'm more
- 8:37most excited about here soon.
- 8:39But we got our Marvel run down this year too.
- 8:42Didn't even those excite you at all?
- 8:44I'll be able to think you'll end up seeing any of them.
- 8:47- Marvel Zombies stuck out to me, the other way around.
- 8:50You know, I can, you can't wait to run down
- 8:54on the pop culture chunky podcast and be so excited.
- 8:56- There you go.
- 8:58- GM.
- 8:59- I do still think you need to watch Agatha All Along.
- 9:02I know that's 2024.
- 9:03But you do still need to give that a view.
- 9:05It's so good.
- 9:06And it's Aubrey Plaza again.
- 9:09- Yes, I would love that.
- 9:10- I have been wanting to watch that.
- 9:12Some really good horror is coming out.
- 9:14We talked about 28 years later.
- 9:17We also have the, I know what you did last summer sequel
- 9:21coming out.
- 9:22- Oh my god.
- 9:23- They haven't given a name yet.
- 9:24- I know what you did 45 summers ago.
- 9:26(laughing)
- 9:28- We have Death of a Unicorn with Jen Artega,
- 9:30which looks really, really good.
- 9:32- It does look good.
- 9:33- It does.
- 9:34- So have the conjuring, the last rights.
- 9:36And then not so horror, maybe some horror for theater fans.
- 9:41We have Wicked for Good also.
- 9:43Some really good fantasy books coming out.
- 9:46We have A Curse Card in Bone by Daniel Jensen.
- 9:49And then we have the pen ultimate book
- 9:52of the Blood and Ash series called The Primal of Blood and Bone
- 9:56by Jennifer L. Arman Trout.
- 9:59- Do you read this?
- 10:00- Also.
- 10:00- Yes, I read all of them.
- 10:02They're amazing.
- 10:03- Right.
- 10:04- I really like them.
- 10:04And then we have the ultimate book coming out.
- 10:09We have Hey Mitch, our boy for Sunrise on the Reeping
- 10:13by Susan Collins.
- 10:15- We also have a third.
- 10:16- We also have a third,
- 10:19or the continuation in the Hunger Games as well.
- 10:24A movie coming out with that.
- 10:25But we don't necessarily know,
- 10:28but the book is coming out in March.
- 10:30So lots of good fantasy reads coming up as well
- 10:35on the roadmap.
- 10:37So we're so excited for all these.
- 10:40And we're gonna take a quick break and then hop into
- 10:44what we're most excited about.
- 10:46(dramatic music)
- 10:50(dramatic music)
- 10:51- We're back.
- 10:52Let's break down what we're most looking forward to.
- 10:55Shauna, what Marvel movie excites you most
- 10:59is getting here, you know, little superhero pants
- 11:02excited and on.
- 11:03I don't know if you put on superhero pants,
- 11:05but you get it.
- 11:06- I think I have superhero pants.
- 11:08I definitely have Pokemon pants.
- 11:09Right now I'm wearing leopard print ones.
- 11:11So, you know, you could be a super leopard.
- 11:14- Thank you, I could be.
- 11:16- Chitara.
- 11:17- I guess she's bad.
- 11:18Anyway, I realized I said one,
- 11:20I have two Marvel things on my list because it's me.
- 11:24The movie that I'm most excited about
- 11:26is Fantastic Four First Steps.
- 11:29So that is going to be coming out July 25th, 25th, 25th,
- 11:34and the Fantastic Four Marvel's first family
- 11:39is finally coming to the MCU.
- 11:42So the last time we saw Fantastic Four movies,
- 11:45it was years ago with Chris Evans and Jessica Alba.
- 11:50Those movies were pretty good.
- 11:51We got to see Cliff Evans again as Johnny Storm
- 11:55in the latest Deadpool and Wolverine movie,
- 11:58which was hilarious and then he had to gruesome death.
- 12:00But finally we get all of the Fantastic Four
- 12:03back together again.
- 12:05Reed Richards is gonna be Pedro Pascal.
- 12:08So Daddy is gonna be there for us.
- 12:11We also have, so I know.
- 12:13- You might get me with that one.
- 12:15- You might get me with that one.
- 12:16- Oh, you're gonna go with me to see it.
- 12:17Or I'm gonna come to you to see it.
- 12:19- Yes.
- 12:20- We're figuring it out.
- 12:21Vanessa Kirby.
- 12:23We're figuring out our long distance relationship right now.
- 12:26Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, who of course rose to fame
- 12:33with Stranger Things, which is also coming back in 2025.
- 12:38I'm excited about that too.
- 12:40And Iban Moss Bachrock, sorry if I butchered that name.
- 12:44He is of course known for the bear right now as cousin.
- 12:49I don't remember his character's actual name besides cousin.
- 12:52- Cousin, cousin.
- 12:54- Cous.
- 12:55But yes, they are going to be fighting against Silver Surfer
- 13:00who will be played by Julia Gardner, who is from,
- 13:04- Oh, sorry, I don't know shit about fuck.
- 13:06Yeah.
- 13:07(laughing)
- 13:10So it's got this stacked cast
- 13:12and I think it's gonna be really good.
- 13:14It's gonna be set in the 60s.
- 13:16So it's gonna be a little retro.
- 13:18And gosh, I just, I really hope that it's good.
- 13:21I mean, I think that Marvel has been on a high streak
- 13:24the last couple months.
- 13:26So I have my hopes for it, but super excited
- 13:29to finally see the fantastic four in the MCU.
- 13:33- Hmm, I love that.
- 13:35Yeah, that's gonna be exciting.
- 13:37I think one of the ones that I'm most excited about
- 13:40is an A24 classic I mentioned at the top of the episode.
- 13:45Death of Unicorn.
- 13:46So it has Genoa Ortega, it has Paul Rudd,
- 13:49it has Will Polter, it has Tia Leoni.
- 13:52- They got stacked cast too, damn.
- 13:55- It's such a stacked cast.
- 13:57And Death of Unicorn, if you haven't seen the trailer yet,
- 14:00is a father-daughter duo, Genoa Ortega and Paul Rudd,
- 14:04hit a unicorn with their car
- 14:07and they bring it to this wilderness retreat
- 14:09that they are on their way to.
- 14:12And it is for a Bego wealthy pharmaceutical CEO.
- 14:17And they start to try to harness the power of this unicorn.
- 14:21- Yes, sir.
- 14:22- And everything goes incredibly wrong.
- 14:24And it's an A24 classic.
- 14:27It's the tagline for the movie is they're gonna make a killing.
- 14:30It looks so incredibly good.
- 14:33I mean, I think that A24 is really is just a studio
- 14:37that is putting out really great classic or like original.
- 14:42- Yeah.
- 14:43Everything they put out is amazing so far.
- 14:46It's like if you see a movie coming out
- 14:48and it says it's A24, you're like, oh, well,
- 14:51now we gotta see that.
- 14:52You know, it's probably gonna be pretty good.
- 14:55- Yeah, immediately.
- 14:56It's a pop, you know, you're like, okay,
- 14:59I'm gonna go opening weekend.
- 15:01I just think that original content from them
- 15:04is always gonna be good.
- 15:06You know, not to knock on the marvels of the world,
- 15:10but for a really long time, that was all that was getting made.
- 15:14And so I think that A24 and supporting A24
- 15:18is huge for just the film industry as a whole
- 15:21'cause it proves you can invest in original IP.
- 15:25- I totally agree.
- 15:26- Totally excited.
- 15:27- Even as like a Marvel fan and even a DC in Star Wars,
- 15:30it got so oversaturated for a minute,
- 15:32which is when we saw like a huge quality dip.
- 15:36And it just felt like it was more quantity over quality.
- 15:40So I am glad that they're kind of taking a step back
- 15:43with some of the marvel, I don't know,
- 15:45the amount of things that they're putting out.
- 15:48Even with Star Wars, I lost interest in some of the stuff
- 15:52that they were putting out 'cause it was just so much.
- 15:54But yeah, I love A24, I think that's gonna be great.
- 15:57And Jenna Ortega has the next season of Wednesday
- 16:00coming out this year too, right?
- 16:02So that's gonna be a big--
- 16:03- Oh, I believe it.
- 16:04- Yeah, I know.
- 16:05- This year.
- 16:06- Big 2025 for her if so.
- 16:09- She is just killing it on a studio.
- 16:11- She is good.
- 16:12- She's picking really good projects
- 16:14that make sense for her.
- 16:16- She's definitely put herself into this little like
- 16:18golf girl kind of thing that we don't get enough of,
- 16:22you know, the Y-N-O-N-O riders of the world.
- 16:25Like Christina Ricci, I love that.
- 16:28- I almost feel like she's like a Winona writer
- 16:31and Aubrey Plaza had a baby.
- 16:33- I love that.
- 16:35- Can you imagine that would be so hot?
- 16:38- The ship is beautiful baby.
- 16:39- The ship is.
- 16:40(laughing)
- 16:42- It is a beautiful baby, it's Jenna Ortega.
- 16:44- Right?
- 16:45- First let's be in ship of the year.
- 16:47- Oh, I love that for us.
- 16:49- That was so cute.
- 16:51- Yeah.
- 16:52- Okay, so back to some nerdy shit.
- 16:55The final season of My Hero Academia comes out in 2025.
- 17:02So My Hero Academia has been an anime since 2016
- 17:07and it follows the story of a kid named Izuku Madoria.
- 17:12I know I've talked about it a ton on here.
- 17:13So very briefly, 80% of the population has superpowers.
- 17:17He was born, it doesn't have a superpower called a quirk.
- 17:21And the most famous superhero all might give
- 17:26Izuku is a part of his power.
- 17:29So he can carry it on.
- 17:31And this is the story of him becoming
- 17:33the greatest hero of all time.
- 17:35The manga ended last year.
- 17:37So the anime is coming out in fall 25 while they animate it.
- 17:42And I'm really excited and kind of sad,
- 17:45but then also, you know, ready for it to come to its conclusion.
- 17:50And I feel like with a lot of like shown in animes
- 17:54after they end, you wait a couple years
- 17:56and then there's always, what are they doing now?
- 17:59Here's another new season.
- 18:00So I would hope that they would have one
- 18:02as adults come out in the future
- 18:04'cause right now there's still in high school,
- 18:06but very excited about that.
- 18:09We have to wait until the fall.
- 18:10In the meantime, there are a few other great enemies
- 18:14coming out with their season two this year.
- 18:16So I think Dandadan is coming out
- 18:19and season two is coming out this year
- 18:21and then my dress up darling,
- 18:23which is that one that you watched.
- 18:25Did I show you?
- 18:26Yeah, season two, that is finally coming out this year too.
- 18:30And I think one punch man is coming out with its third season.
- 18:34So should be eight good here for anime fans.
- 18:38I love it, I love it.
- 18:39One of the things that we might end up doing,
- 18:42Shana's coming to visit me this weekend.
- 18:44Yeah.
- 18:45It's unfortunately might be raining me entire time.
- 18:48So we may be going to the Japan town mall
- 18:51and spending a lot of time getting in a way.
- 18:54I do love the Japan town mall.
- 18:57We're gonna get some food for sure.
- 19:00Yes, absolutely.
- 19:01So going back to my little 12 year old self
- 19:05is it 2008, it was in 2008, but don't mask.
- 19:10Oh, no.
- 19:13We have a freaky Friday coming out in 2025.
- 19:19I've got.
- 19:20And it has all of our favorites in it.
- 19:23Of course, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Chad Michael Murray,
- 19:28is set to be in it.
- 19:30He's so fine.
- 19:31We don't know a ton yet, but the little bit
- 19:35that we do have about the movie is years after
- 19:37Tess and Anna endured an identity crisis.
- 19:40Anna now has a daughter and soon to be stepped out
- 19:43as they navigate the challenges that come
- 19:45when two families merge.
- 19:46Tess and Anna realize that lightning may strike twice.
- 19:51So we're gonna get a little body swap.
- 19:56Now, if you heard our analysis of Lindsay Lohan's Christmas
- 20:02movies, the Lohan is on the lot.
- 20:05The Lohan has not delivered quality,
- 20:08but it looks incredible.
- 20:10Quasit.
- 20:11She looks amazing.
- 20:12Yes, I like looking at her.
- 20:14Yeah.
- 20:15Hopefully it's not a movie.
- 20:16We're in Shana and I decided it's better when we mute it.
- 20:20But I am very excited for it.
- 20:21I think it will give us really great throwbacks.
- 20:25It's just a little warm nostalgia hug.
- 20:28I do hope that we get new music from it.
- 20:32I hope she's still in her little punk band.
- 20:35But that'd be wonderful.
- 20:37Like I think they have to because it was such a big part
- 20:39of her or like her daughters into it.
- 20:42And she's like singing a song with her and stuff like that.
- 20:46Or I'm gonna assume that she grew up to be more like her mom.
- 20:50And it's like now maybe she's the straight-laced one
- 20:54with like a little punk daughter.
- 20:55And she's like, oh, you know.
- 20:58Yeah, yeah, I could see that.
- 21:00But yeah, I'm very excited for that.
- 21:02I think, you know, it'll do well just because it is such a fan favorite.
- 21:07I really love the soul.
- 21:08We love the soul, too.
- 21:09We love the soul, too.
- 21:10I love what Jamie Lee Curtis is just like, you know what?
- 21:13I got the yogurt money.
- 21:15Let's go back to the franchise.
- 21:16The yogurt money.
- 21:18Not the yogurt money, man.
- 21:19Her bowels are so healthy.
- 21:21Her gut health is just out of this world.
- 21:25She's ready to do all these, you know, reimaginates.
- 21:28Yeah.
- 21:29I am excited.
- 21:31I haven't seen the last show girl.
- 21:33I think it came out already or at least it's in limited release.
- 21:36That Pamela Anderson movie.
- 21:39I want to see that.
- 21:40Oh my God.
- 21:40And she's in that, too.
- 21:42And I think she plays like an aging show girl.
- 21:45She's just amazing.
- 21:46She can do no wrong.
- 21:47I also really want to see baby girl.
- 21:49That came out in 2020.
- 21:50We should watch it this weekend.
- 21:53OK.
- 21:54Is it on my release?
- 21:57Yeah.
- 21:58It has to be streaming.
- 21:59And me and you and the other girls coming can all just pitch in to pay for it.
- 22:04Yeah.
- 22:05OK.
- 22:06Baby girl time.
- 22:07Baby girl time.
- 22:08[LAUGHS]
- 22:09Okay.
- 22:10We're following each other.
- 22:12We're going to send each other milk across the bar.
- 22:16Oh my God.
- 22:16I'm so excited.
- 22:17OK.
- 22:18All right.
- 22:19I'm going to talk about the drinking game that we're going to play at the end of the episode
- 22:22too.
- 22:23And encourage our listeners to play along.
- 22:26But another thing that I am excited about that is coming out this year is Dexter Resurrection.
- 22:33Yes.
- 22:34So the prequel series is out right now.
- 22:37I haven't watched it yet.
- 22:39My husband and I decided that we're going to wait until the whole thing is released and
- 22:43then just binge it.
- 22:45And we're also waiting for February to up our showtime membership so we can watch yellow
- 22:50jackets releasing on February 14th.
- 22:53But Dexter Resurrection picks up right after Dexter Newblood spoiler alert here.
- 23:00If you haven't watched Dexter Newblood just give the next 30 seconds.
- 23:05OK.
- 23:06At the end of Dexter Newblood, am I spoiling this for you, Olivia?
- 23:09Yeah.
- 23:10Well, then I won't say it.
- 23:12I'm going to spoil it for you.
- 23:14I'll spoil it for people on the internet.
- 23:16Yeah, there you go.
- 23:17OK, I got to kept up.
- 23:19All right, well, then I won't spoil it.
- 23:21Is it a prequel?
- 23:23This is a sequel.
- 23:24There's a prequel that came on right and it's on now because this is a sequel with Michael
- 23:29Seahaw coming back and reprising his role of Dexter.
- 23:34And it picks up right where Newblood left off and Dexter is in a precarious situation as
- 23:41he often finds himself in.
- 23:44So I hope that in Newblood we saw his sister Deb play his dark passenger in internal monologue
- 23:53spoiler from Dexter, but it went off years ago.
- 23:56So whatever your fault if it's a spoiler, Deb dies in the final episode.
- 24:01And so she kind of plays his internal monologue now and it's incredible.
- 24:05So I hope they keep going with that.
- 24:08But I'm here for this Dexter Resurrection.
- 24:10I love it so much.
- 24:12That is one of my favorite franchises and the prequel series called original sin and our
- 24:19girl's ceremonial galleries in it.
- 24:21And apparently it is so good.
- 24:23So I know.
- 24:25I know.
- 24:26Right.
- 24:27I love that.
- 24:28I love that.
- 24:29So I'm going to watch that first and then go to resurrection, but very excited for more
- 24:33Dexter content.
- 24:34I love it.
- 24:36And for my final excitement, the thing I'm most excited for putting my little clown hat
- 24:42on, you know, we just want to take it off.
- 24:46Yeah, that's true.
- 24:48I have been, I have been secretly every day hoping for a surprise drop of reputation of
- 24:55I Taylor Swift.
- 24:56I don't know if you know, but I must let these.
- 24:59What?
- 25:00Taylor Swift actually just filed for her final trademark extension, both on reputation
- 25:06and debut, which is Taylor Swift, her namesake album.
- 25:12And it is her final.
- 25:14I don't know how long the trademark application goes.
- 25:17I think it's within this current year.
- 25:19So she has to release it.
- 25:20The Grammys are this weekend when we're recording it.
- 25:24So fans are really theorizing that as soon as the torture poets era ends, that's when we'll
- 25:29start to see the reputation and debut.
- 25:33For real, on time, fans have been waiting for a deputation drop.
- 25:37A debutation.
- 25:38Yeah, where it's like a double drop.
- 25:41Yes.
- 25:42I don't think she would do that.
- 25:44I think really when it came to folklore and evermore, which were both surprise drops, she
- 25:50really learned that that shot her album sales and she is nothing, but, you know, a billionaire.
- 25:57And so she's kind of like sister albums too, right?
- 26:00They kind of like vibed with their sister album.
- 26:03And they were COVID albums.
- 26:05And so they were during the pandemic.
- 26:07And you know, evermore was probably one of her, you know, like lower selling albums.
- 26:13And so I think she really learned her lesson on that and will continue to do these really
- 26:18large promo samples that we've seen through midnight and tortured poet.
- 26:23But you know, ultimately if reputation does not come out in 2025, I promise to stop talking
- 26:28about her in 2020.
- 26:29That's my favorite Taylor album I want it to be released to.
- 26:34I love it.
- 26:35Yes.
- 26:36The secret songs would be so amazing.
- 26:39And what's been crazy is so if you like the other day when you went to her discography on
- 26:46her Spotify profile, reputation, the album was no longer showing.
- 26:51I read that somewhere.
- 26:53Yeah.
- 26:54Things are afloat.
- 26:55There's winds in the east.
- 26:57The winds are brewing.
- 27:01And if you know, you heard her here first, if she doesn't release reputation in 2025,
- 27:05I'm going to, you know, take the clown makeup off her good and I'm going to stop talking about
- 27:09her.
- 27:10You're not.
- 27:11You're not going to get rid of all of your branded cardigans.
- 27:14I won't.
- 27:15No, I'm going to stop talking about her on the podcast because you know, not in your actual
- 27:19like life.
- 27:20Okay.
- 27:21Okay.
- 27:22Sorry.
- 27:23You're not that lucky.
- 27:24You're not that lucky.
- 27:25That's all I think about.
- 27:26In my mind.
- 27:27You know, like today, today I was like, oh, I have to get something done.
- 27:31Let me put on the why you should be a sweaty playlist that I made Shauna.
- 27:36I love that playlist.
- 27:37It is a good playlist.
- 27:38Have you still listened to the Olivia's going away party playlist?
- 27:43Because that is that's a great playlist.
- 27:44Okay.
- 27:45That is a good box.
- 27:46Those are some bumps.
- 27:47If you want us to share the iconic Olivia playlist on Instagram, we will do that.
- 27:53I was in charge of music for Olivia's moving away party.
- 27:56And I was very proud of that playlist.
- 27:58Well, my last one is Daredevil born again.
- 28:00So another Marvel series.
- 28:03This one's a series though.
- 28:04So this one will be a TV show.
- 28:06So we are bringing back all of the original actors from the previous Daredevil series on
- 28:13Marvel.
- 28:14I'm so glad that they incorporated those into the MCU.
- 28:17So we have Charlie Cox's Daredevil Vincent to not for you.
- 28:21And many others, John Bernthal is coming back as well.
- 28:25And it looks like it's going to continue where the original Daredevil series kind of left
- 28:30off.
- 28:31And I think that this will give new hope to me that Jessica Jones returns because that was
- 28:36my favorite deboned Marvel series.
- 28:39I didn't see that.
- 28:40You did?
- 28:41I did see that.
- 28:42Yeah.
- 28:43Oh my God.
- 28:44I'm so excited.
- 28:45Yeah.
- 28:46And that one was my favorite.
- 28:47I love her so much.
- 28:48So yeah.
- 28:49I love her series.
- 28:52I think it's so good.
- 28:53And yeah.
- 28:54So Daredevil born again is going to be released on Disney plus March 4th, 2025.
- 29:00So coming up here soon.
- 29:01Ooh.
- 29:02Yeah.
- 29:03I love that.
- 29:04And they started to release, but it was released in 2025.
- 29:07Sean and I have both been lapping it up and like little puppy dogs and little kittens
- 29:13with milk, just like Nicole Kidman.
- 29:16The on-extorm third book in the Imperian series by Rebecca Yarros.
- 29:21Do not say any spoilers.
- 29:23Olivia Bnot.
- 29:24I read this book so fast, you guys.
- 29:27She fucking like 20 minutes after it came out.
- 29:31She's like, I'm done.
- 29:32I'm done.
- 29:33Like, I read it in four days.
- 29:35It is 600 pages.
- 29:36Did you sleep?
- 29:37Bitch, don't you have a job?
- 29:40I have a job.
- 29:41I had an audiobook.
- 29:42So I ordered the pre-order, like a month ahead of time.
- 29:48My pre-order did not come.
- 29:51And so I was like, okay, well, I'm just going to buy it on audiobook.
- 29:54But that also meant that all I would do while I was working while I was unpacking my apartment
- 30:00would just be listening to On-extorm.
- 30:02Which actually ended up working out.
- 30:04I did get the physical copy of it as well, just because I like to be able to give it
- 30:09out to people.
- 30:10Yeah.
- 30:11Like, and now I have a library.
- 30:13So do I have a library.
- 30:16I have some crows.
- 30:18Yes, yes, I have a library.
- 30:21And so I ended up like reading it in four days.
- 30:25It was in insurance.
- 30:27Rebecca Yarros fashion.
- 30:29Amazing.
- 30:30I'm so excited.
- 30:31I'm so excited.
- 30:32Great things.
- 30:33What chapter are you on now?
- 30:34Chapter seven.
- 30:35Jesus.
- 30:36I know.
- 30:37I'm reading.
- 30:38So I'm going to read tonight.
- 30:39I'm going to read tonight.
- 30:40I get angry because you're like, no, play with me instead.
- 30:43I'm like, I want to go read though.
- 30:47I know.
- 30:50And I looked up getting it on audiobook so I can listen to it in the card.
- 30:54It's like 25 bucks.
- 30:56And I've already paid 25.
- 30:57It's not Spotify?
- 30:58No.
- 30:59It's not.
- 31:00It's all got like a little lock next to it.
- 31:03So that sucks.
- 31:04But no, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to power through.
- 31:08Oh, I wonder if it's because it was like release week where she wanted like the sale.
- 31:13So I would re-wok.
- 31:14Maybe.
- 31:15That's a great idea.
- 31:16Because I definitely listened to the end of Iron Flame on book, like on audiobook.
- 31:21Yeah.
- 31:22Well, I was a little refriving.
- 31:23Yeah.
- 31:24So that's fair.
- 31:25I'll check it out.
- 31:27But yeah, we got a lot of great stuff coming out this year.
- 31:31And to look forward to there is a light at the end of the 2025 tunnel.
- 31:39We're going to make it through this, you guys.
- 31:41We got lots of pop culture to keep us happy.
- 31:45And I am so excited to see you this weekend.
- 31:46I miss you so much.
- 31:48Yes, everyone say happy birthday, Shana.
- 31:51And our favorite equator is.
- 31:54Yeah.
- 31:55Over here.
- 31:56Let's take a little break.
- 31:57And then we will catch up and talk about our drinking game this weekend that I'm going
- 32:02to make you play.
- 32:03Yeah.
- 32:04It's your first time coming to San Francisco, right?
- 32:12I have been to San Francisco a couple times.
- 32:14I went to visit my ex-boyfriend years ago for the first time.
- 32:19And then I've been for some more conferences.
- 32:23Scratch book boyfriend, right?
- 32:25No, not Scratch book boyfriend.
- 32:27I just think all of your ex-boyfriends are Scratch book boyfriend.
- 32:32We need to give them all nicknames.
- 32:34There's promise ring boyfriend, Scratch book boyfriend.
- 32:36No, this is put me into therapy boyfriend.
- 32:39So, yeah, you know, one of the three is one of the quintessential.
- 32:45Yes, you got to collect them all like infinity stones.
- 32:48Yeah, that was my first time going.
- 32:50I really like San Francisco.
- 32:52I love Japan town.
- 32:53I'm excited to eat all the food.
- 32:55Even though it's going to be raining, I did get.
- 32:57I got my fleeced lined like pantyhose.
- 33:01So, I mean, wearing lots of like mini skirts.
- 33:04Jessica said it and I thought that sounded amazing.
- 33:06No, I just was making the face at you calling it pantyhose.
- 33:10What do they call it?
- 33:1175.
- 33:12What do I call it?
