KYLE’S REWIND: What is RACHEL SENNOTT Even Doing?! Oct 28, 2026

Show notes

This week on What Are We Even Doing?, we’re throwing it back to our spookiest episode with actress, writer, and producer Rachel Sennott. She joins Kyle for a royally chaotic episode recorded entirely in Princess Diaries costumes (yes, Mia Thermopolis and Queen Clarisse have entered the pod stu). Between tales of Hollywood hauntings and creative chaos, they talk Bottoms, Shiva Baby, I Love LA, and how Rachel’s Treacly Productions is conjuring its next big thing. There’s matcha spilled, crowns dropped, and one very cursed round of Spooky Season Showdown that proves even royalty can’t escape the jump scares. It’s ghoulishly glamorous, slightly unhinged, and perfectly treacly. In other words, it’s the Halloween special you didn’t know you needed.
