IN CONVERSATION: Effie Kats

Why hello! Happy Saturday!!! Welcome to the first episode of a monthly series we’ll be running here in the Shameless feed: reviews of the zeitgeist moments that everyone’s talking about.  On today’s show: we saw It Ends With Us. Given this is the film adaptation of the book that’s sold over 8 million copies, gained 1 billion BookTok tags, and spawned about a trillion opinions… what better place to start than right here? If you want background on the drama between the actors, listen to our last episode. Here, we’re reviewing the film itself! So, we’ll only be chatting about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in the context of them being actors. Big thanks to SIX the Musical for making this episode possible. Don’t miss out - get your tickets right here and experience SIX for yourself. Thank us later!

Heeeeey! On today’s show: obviously, the ‘It Ends With Us’ feud… it feels like the internet has turned on star actress Blake Lively this week, so let's untangle why that’s the case and what we think is going on. Then! Australia has a new face of breakdancing, Raygun, Taylor Swift cancels three Vienna shows, it turns out Drake and Serena Williams were once a thing, and we hope you’re all keeping things very demure, very mindful, very cutesy. This week, Zara recommended ​​reading ‘Daisy Edgar-Jones Is the Summer’s Breakout Star. Can She Be the Next Julia Roberts?’ in Variety. Mich recommended Orna Guralnik on Armchair Expert.
