407. The Lorde & Jack Antonoff & Lena Dunham Slideshow Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

This week Kelli and Troy revisit one of the internet’s most unhinged masterpieces: the Lorde and Jack Antonoff slideshow. The theory? A secret, torrid affair during Melodrama. The twist? A 2026 update from someone involved who is not Lorde or Jack… and it’s giving this whole thing new life.

402. Feuds: Lea Michele vs The Glee Cast Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

This week Kelli and Troy are diving into the long-rumored tension on the set of Glee. Your hosts walk through years of headlines and cast comments about Lea Michele, from early rumors and the infamous feud with Naya Rivera to the 2020 controversy involving Samantha Marie Ware. Along the way they unpack interviews, statements, and reactions from former cast mates like Heather Morris and Amber Riley. Was Lea Michele just method acting? Was it a case of strong personalities clashing, or was there more going on behind the scenes? Either way, the choir room was clearly not always in harmony.
