@B*tches with Allen + Georgina

We hope you're enjoying your stay with us at The White Lotus—just don't get too comfortable. On this week's episode, host Sami Sage (@sami) is joined by pop culture pros Gibson Johns (@gibsonoma) and Sarah Galli (@damegalli) to dissect every chilling and thrilling moment from Episode 7. Sure, this may not have been the most dramatic penultimate episode of all time, but the tide is always lowest right before a tsunami... They get right down to business discussing their own finale theories, how Mike White's usage of intercuts ramps up the tension, and why the Internet seems to think this season is boring. (Can't say we agree, but to each their own...)

This week, guests Kate Kennedy (@katekennedy) and Lindsay Silberman (@lindsaysilb) are checking in with host Sami Sage (@sami) for a super-sized episode. Because let's be real, we're all thinking the same thing: what the hell happened last night?! (Consider this like group therapy for processing all that we've witnessed...) After that whirlwind of an episode, we have more questions than answers: How do the Ratliffs even move forward from here? Is it worse that Jaclyn made a selfish decision, or that she couldn't stand on business? And what divine forces possessed Gaitok to actually get something right for once? Let's unpack it all.

The jungle is empty and all the (party) animals are at The White Lotus. This week, host Sami Sage is joined by pop culture enthusiasts Lex Niko (@lexniko) and Ryan Bailey (@sobaditsgoodwithryanbailey) to dissect the mind games, power plays, and bold-faced betrayals that are setting the stage for what’s bound to be a dark finale. We talk best guests, worst guests, employees that clearly should not have jobs, and even hash out which of our favorite Bravo stars we need to see at a White Lotus.

This week, Jordana and Sami discuss the news that King Charles is finally a podcaster, with his new show "The Music Room" - and the unexpected revelation that he's a Kylie Minogue fan. Next, Jennifer Garner's boyfriend has allegedly given Ben Affleck an ultimatum in reaction to their recent pap photos. If you ask us, it's time for Ben to move on to an entirely new Jennifer, and we have a few candidates in mind... Timothée and Kylie were spotted packing on the PDA at a tennis tournament, but Jordana's still not convinced about their relationship. Speaking of couples, Meryl Streep and Martin Short have yet to *officially* confirm their romance, but Jordana and Sami predict that they'll outlast both Timmy/Kylie and Taylor/Travis. And where has Taylor been lately, anyway? Our Betch of the week is Elizabeth Oyer, the DoJ official who was fired for refusing to reinstate Mel Gibson's gun rights. And we're sending Ben Affleck to the Caymans for landing himself in drama with an ex-wife yet again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, host Sami Sage is joined by author, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff, and co-host of the Hysteria podcast, Alyssa Mastromonaco, for a can’t-miss deep dive into all things White Lotus Episode 4. And trust us: there is so much to unpack. Last night’s episode delivered some major payoffs, and let’s just say... we feel very vindicated about a few of our theories. But with chaos brewing and a full moon looming, the real question is: how much worse can things possibly get? (Spoiler alert: a lot.) The downward spiral is officially in motion, and we can't wait to watch every deliciously messy second.

This week, Jordana and Sami compare notes on their best and worst moments from Sunday's Academy Awards, including Cynthia and Ariana's Wicked performance, Kieran Culkin and Adrian Brody's speeches, and agism in the Best Actor vs. Best Actress categories. Then, they give their honest review of the first two episodes of Meghan Markle/Sussex's new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, and cover everything from local bee keeping, to awkwardly correcting Mindy Kaling, and whether this show actually helps us understand who the real Meghan is. Finally, they wrap with some quick-fire pop culture updates featuring Mason Disick, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, and the late Gene Hackman. Our joint Betches of the week are Cynthia Erivo for her amazing live rendition of "Defying Gravity," and Mikey Madison for her Oscar victory. Meghan and Adrien Brody are both getting sent to the Caymans as punishment for simply being annoying. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Week 3 of our stay here at The White Lotus and we're starting to feel that slow burn... This week, Emma Diamond and Julie Kramer of the Comments by Celebs podcast (@commentsbycelebs) join Sami Sage in the studio to dive into the trouble brewing in paradise. Will Greg/Gary's boat be the same yacht from season 2? What's up with Lochlan and the tsunami videos? And what the hell was Rick thinking with the snakes?! (Justice for "filler episodes.")
