GOOD GENES, BAD PR: PLEASING, DESTINY’S CHILD, KENNY/JANA, CCM, & FANTASTIC 4 Jul 30, 2025

This week on REWIND: Harry Styles is getting real cheeky with his new Pleasing line—and it is pleasing for sure. Over in Love Island land, JaNa and Kenny’s breakup is OUT OF NOWHERE and messier than expected, and Cierra won’t log off. Should Ghislaine Maxwell actually be pardoned? (We said what we said.) We get into a BIG DISCUSSION on Maverick City Music, their philosophy after one of the founder’s controversial interviews, and discuss how “music business” faith-based music needs to be. Beyoncé reunited Destiny’s Child for the last stop of the Cowboy Carter Tour and now REWIND is (jokingly) beefing with BEY!! Sydney Sweeney’s jean are blue, and her American Eagle campaign is giving flop. Does Fantastic Four leaves us ON FIRE or lukewarm? Finally, The Summer I Turned Pretty is testing our patience, and we figured out why. Pop culture is spiraling and we’re here to unpack it all—hilariously, chaotically, and a little loud & wrong.

OOP, KISS CAM: COLDPLAY, NICOLANDRIA, OZZY, TRISH PAYTAS, TSITP, & EDDINGTON Jul 23, 2025

This week on REWIND: The Podcast, Raven and Blake are back and coming in hot with a jam-packed episode full of chaos, conspiracies, and Coldplay-level heartbreak. We start with heartfelt condolences as we say farewell this side of Heaven to our favorite Cosby son and legendary rocker. Then, some unhinged spiritual speculation - has Ozzy Osbourne been reincarnated? And is Trisha Paytas quietly assembling a reincarnation roster of prominent figures? We’re asking the questions no one else will. Afterwards, it’s onto one of the wildest relationship stories of the year: why you should never take your sidepiece to a Coldplay concert (especially when your main one’s gonna see it on TikTok). We dig into the Nicolandria fallout, Cierra’s social media spiral, and the Keke Palmer podcast full of wisdom, cause Keke. We also clock Megan Thee Stallion’s soft-launch of her new man and give our honest review of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Plus, Raven shares the highs (and hilarious surprise) of her family reunion, and we dive deep into the dark drama of Eddington—and spoiler alert: it’s not for the faint of heart. Finally, we ask the burning question: is The Summer I Turned Pretty turning into a flop? Get into it!

WHERE’S THE LIST? LABUBU, DRAKE/LEBRON, LOVE ISLAND, SUPERMAN, BIEBER, & GEN Z Jul 16, 2025

This week on REWIND: The Podcast, the group chat is on fire. Trump’s wild Epstein list claim has us rolling our eyes, while Gabe gives us every juicy detail from seeing Beyoncé in ATL (SPOILER: GABE DID NOT STEAL THOSE FILES). Paige DeSorbo might’ve found herself a new man as Summer House filming kicks off without her, and Drake’s LeBron tattoo suddenly vanishing for another NBA player has us raising eyebrows. We break down the new Justin Bieber era (TRASH or SMASH?), the internet drama over whether the new Superman movie is “too woke,” and scream over the Love Island winners. On our FYPs this week? The Gen Z stare, Labubus, and more pure chaos. It’s another week of juice here on REWIND.

JULY SO FAR: TEXAS, BILLS, L.A., BEYONCÉ, MEG/NICKI, LIARS & LOVE ISLAND Jul 09, 2025

This week’s episode is a full ride—from heavy to hilarious. We open with a moment of reflection on the devastating flooding in Central Texas and the real-life implications of the Big, Beautiful Bill. Then, things take a turn as Blake returns from his solo L.A. getaway with a story that will live rent-free in his mind and yours. We head east to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour stop, where the queen delivered a show so good it almost made Raven sick (literally). Then it’s drama, secrets, and island heat as we react to the wild twists in We Were Liars and the latest mess on Love Island. Stream it loud, fam—it’s a good one. 💅🏾✨

SONGS OF THE SUMMER: THE ULTIMATE JOURNEY THROUGH SUMMER JAMS Jul 02, 2025

While Blake soaks up the sun in L.A., the summer radio continues to play. Before Blake headed to the west coast, the gang turned up the heat in the studio with a fiery debate: What is the ultimate Song of the Summer for each decade? From 90s classics to early 2000s bangers, 2010s anthems, and the still-forming 2020s playlist, we’re fighting (with love) to crown the top track of each era. Expect nostalgia, shade, and some hot takes as we try to do the impossible. Grab your sunnies—this one’s sizzling.

MAN'S BEST FRIEND: BET AWARDS, NO KINGS, THE MATERIALISTS, NENE, & DOJA CAT Jun 18, 2025

WE’VE GOT A POCKET, GOT POCKET FULL OF SUNSHINE!! Fresh off seeing the diva Natasha Bedingfield herself, the REWIND crew (Just Blake) is one drink deep and feeling silly. We go from screaming at one another to heartfelt, raw discussion about dating, marriage, life, and more on this brand new episode. First things first, we discuss the NO KINGS PROTESTS that happened last weekend, the same day as Trump’s military parade. Then, we go in all the way on the BET Awards. When it comes to the awards show, are we so back!? Or was it just a good year? Then we discuss the ridiculous controversy behind Sabrina Carpenter’s new album cover, giggle over Carnival Tyler, wonder why Doja Cat was jumping around with a fan she hated, with some stories in between. Next, we discuss the controversial interview between Nene Leakes & TS Madison that had audiences everywhere commenting, which opens up REWIND: The Podcast for a raw and unfiltered conversation on trans visibility, language, and more. Finally, we discuss the new Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans movie - MATERIALISTS, directed by Celine Song. Is it ‘Broke Boy Propaganda’ as the kids are saying?? Or is it a lens into a deeper societal issue. We are ready to get deep and Kiki all at once, so dive in with us.

TAKING MTV VERY UNSERIOUSLY May 07, 2025

Due to the REWIND crew spending the week in NYC for a “work trip”, the studio is empty this week so we are throwing it back to our old set once again! This week on REWIND: The Podcast, we’re diving back into the golden era of MTV—the network that raised us in the 2000s! From messy drama to pop culture-defining moments, MTV reality shows were so unserious, and we’re fighting about which shows belong in a top tier ranking and which ones were truly wildin’ out. The catch? We have to agree before we define a show’s category! Will My Super Sweet 16 go first? Did we actually love NEXT and The Challenge? And what weird story could Blake have kept to himself? Grab your iPod and tune in for another battle of nostalgia!

TARIFFS & TORNADOS: Cory Booker, Summer House, The Woman In The Yard, & WICKED? Apr 09, 2025

This week on REWIND: The Podcast, the tea is piping hot and the group chat is going viral—literally. We’re spilling all about the TikTok friend group chat series saga, Robert Irwin’s thirst-trap underwear ad (yep, the Crocodile Hunter’s son is G-R-O-W-N), and the Summer House drama that’s giving everything. We get real with reviews of Dying for Sex and The Woman in the Yard (TW: Self-Harm, Suicide, & Seeking Help), dive into Cory Booker's filibuster moment, and try to make sense of these new tariffs. Plus, our FYPs are FUEGO with the lack of a Wicked: For Good trailer & The Summer I Turned Pretty (kind of). Finally, Blake gives Raven her BIG birthday SURPRISE!! Can you guess what it is? All of this and more pop culture chaos you won’t want to miss.

This week, Raven & Blake spill all the tea on their eventful trip to Tampa—did they even make it, or was it giving “friendship over” energy? Then, we break down Jay-Z’s assault case getting dismissed, Ryan Reynolds’ tacky SNL 50 joke (sir, read the room), and the latest in Kanye & Bianca’s maybe-divorce saga. Marlon Wayans vs. Soulja Boy? We didn't see that feud coming, but we’re here for the chaos. Plus, we dive into the new slasher flick Heart Eyes—is it giving scream queen realness or just a bloody mess? And, of course, no episode is complete without our Traitors recap, because reality TV is our Roman Empire. Tune in for all the drama, shade, and unfiltered opinions! 🎤🔥
