Only 2.5 weeks left until Big Brother 25 premieres, so we still have more general pop-culture content for you.
Brett saw Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One this week and has some thoughts...some thoughts that it was mid.
Dani is cooling on Barbie one week before the film's premiere. Are we already Barbie'd out?
They also talk about rumors that the next Bachelor will be an older gentlemen, revisit why Apple TV's Hijack didn't work on many levels & read through the Jonah Hill text messages.

Brett & Dani are back with a new summer episode as we trudge through only a few more weeks without Big Brother.
They open discussing a contentious viral tweet from last week, before diving in to the season (or series) finale of The Idol. Later, they talk about the surprisingly fun (and pro-Canada) film Blackberry, which chronicles the rise and fall of the mid-aughts smartphone.
Also, Brett shares his thoughts on the hard-spiraling death of social media as we know it and Dani must share some thoughts about the proclaimed re-arrival of cottage cheese.

Brett & Dani are back with a hot summer pod to celebrate the holiday weekend. Dani recounts her strong feelings towards the Gran Turismo trailer before sharing her thoughts on No Hard Feelings, which prompts a career-lookback at Jennifer Lawrence, who is seemingly hitting the reset-button after years of franchises & flops.
Brett talks about how Wes Anderson may need a career reset of his own, after strongly disliking Asteroid City.
Finally, the pair share their thoughts on FX's The Bear season 2, take listener questions about Dr. Pepper, Apple TV's Hijack & more.

Add 'lost submarine' to the lyrics of Billy Joel's neverending 2020s edition of "We Didn't Start the Fire."
Brett & Dani are back for a new pod to cover the week that was in pop-culture while we still wait for BB25 to commence in August. Dani wants to talk about Jennifer Garner and Tom Holland hitting the media circuit for unseen Apple TV+ shows, Brett provides a theory about 'The Idol', and podcasting of course makes its way into the first few episodes of season 2 of 'And Just Like That'.
Of course, we must discuss the international drama of the week, which was the missing/destroyed OceanGate submarine.

Brett & Dani reconvene for another pop-culture heavy podcast in the absence of any solid Big Brother or Survivor news. They revisit HBO's The Idol and continue their praise of it, despite The Weeknd's confusing presence and general online-hate for the show. Danielle watched The Waterboy (1998) recently and a discussion about early-era Adam Sandler movies ensues.
Both Brett & Dani watched select episodes of Black Mirror season 6 on Netflix and think it's possibly time to put the anthology season to bed if there's nothing serious for Charlie Brooker to explore anymore. Wrapping up the show, they look into this weekend's two huge box office failures in The Flash and Elemental. Are people not seeing movies anymore or are they just not seeing bad ones?

Survivor 44! We hardly knew ye! It only felt like a few weeks ago that we were still complaining about this season being stuck in separate tribes (and effectively carrying a split-tribe mechanic deep into the individual portion of the game), and now it's over!
Brett & Dani react to Wednesday night's exciting finale which saw Yam Yam claim the crown as season 44's sole survivor, using his effervescent charm to overcome Heidi's late-game comp & fire heroics, as well as Carolyn's emotional underdog story.
They also say goodbye to fire-challenged fire challenge loser Harry Potter (aka Carson), and a viral TikTok of PF Chang's CEO inspires an extra-long digression in to the history of CBS's Undercover Boss.

Brett & Dani are back to recap the latest episode of Survivor 44. BUT FIRST, Dani asks Brett about his experiences playing the new Zelda game.
In Survivor-talk, they chat about the news that future seasons of the show will be going to 90 minutes and whether that is good or bad for the casuals. They talk about this most recent episode of the show, which saw Danny voted out while Carolyn made a bold move with her idol and Yam Yam impressively won his first immunity challenge. And as always, Brett has some notes for Jaime's gameplay.
Tangents abound in this episode, in the second half, Brett & Dani talk about the Star Trek universe, check back in on Vanderpump Rules drama, The Good Doctor memes and in-home toilet etiquette.

Brett & Dani are back to recap another week of Survivor 44. Frannie was sent packing (and into the loving embrace of future-bf Matt Blankenship) this week after winning the episode's reward challenge, her third individual comp win. It threatened the other castaways, particularly yung-Harry Potter lookalike Carson, who felt that Frannie's inclusion of Carolyn on the reward journey was poisoning his tight relationship with Carolyn.
Your hosts also discuss whether or not this cast is made of mostly A-listers or B-listers at this point, and Brett continues to struggle with Jaime's decision making in social situations.
Later in the show, Brett laments Dani's Netflix recommendations and Dani explains some recent Vanderpump Rules drama (and its larger universe) to a completely in-the-dark Brett.
