Episode 66: Pop Culture Hot Takes

This week on the pod we’re talking about pop culture. And first up under the MAE microscope is rom coms. We’ve got some strong feelings and would love to know what you all think about what makes a good rom com. 

A few of the more recent romcoms that have caught our eyes on Netflix include:

Always Be My Maybe 

Wedding Season

To All the Boys I’ve Ever Loved

Never Have I Ever

We also talk about the updates in the Adnan Syed case and his recent release from prison. 

Also, love them or hate them, it’s hard to discuss anything pop culture related without touching on the Kardashians. We chat about the Khloe and Tristan of it all. We discuss cheating timelines, surrogacy and how we feel about everything. 

We have a brief chat about the mega Baby Daddy energy vibes of this Instagram post from Mindy Kaling.

In food blogger gossip, we talk about how the cook behind Half-baked Harvest comes under fire for ripping off smaller lesser known recipe developers. 

We discuss butter boards. 

And if you’re interested in the king of bougie butter, check out Thomas Straker’s Instagram feed here.

Finally, we have to talk about Don’t Worry Darling. Is it all a huge PR stunt? Get in touch and let us know. And the Marilyn Monroe Netflix movie— we won’t be watching.
