Pop Culture Prisoner

Send us Fan MailSarah is back on the podcast with Deepti to talk new RHONY eps! They are still in Moskito Island for a lot of these episodes...the never ending trip. Daisy continues to be quite rude to Erika. Sarah is NOT a fan of hers but Deepti doesn't mind her! Deepti and Sarah discuss Carole and the online perceptions going around about her and how she's handling the Epstein files hoopla. Also discussed - Erin is a perennial victim; Sai is nOT NICE; Jessel being real about her marriage was a much-needed shift in her story arc; Hailey is .. out there. Jury's out on Erika still. 

Send us Fan MailDeepti and Sean caught up on a few Salt Lake City episodes. The show is full camp/community-theater at this point. Still entertaining! But definitely on a planet of its own. Hypocrisy and bullshit all around!!!!! Lisa and Meredith are an impenetrable force and the other women hate that. All the other women are stabbing one another in the back. Mary has become some sort of saint mother to the cast for some reason and cannot believe they are fighting (this is a REALITY SHOW ON BRAVO c'mon!!). Bronwyn is parading her boyfriend Brandon around a lot so far. Whitney is fighting hard to keep her spot on this cast. Angie isn't afraid to eat a gummy bear out of Britney's hair. Mary is not having Angie's antics lately. Lots of drama all around. 

Send us Fan MailThis is part TWO of a two part series. Deepti and Sean have lost their minds over the new Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim documentary on Elizabeth Holmes. Mind blowing, mind numbing perfection. Best picture nomination hopefully at LEAST!!!!

Send us Fan MailDeepti and Sean will not stop watching RHONY but hmmm it's got some problems. Sai, Jessel and Erin are just TRYING TOO HARD and it's not coming off as authentic! And WHY are Erin and Daisy going after Erica's island house and the ins and outs of whether they truly own the island or not?? It's just weird. Erin continues to annoy. Jessel continues to be cringe (but it might be secretly funny to watch??) Sai does not elicit much sympathy from Deepti and Sean. Deepti and Sean also discuss Carole and the Eptstein files and the whole Ghislaine Maxwell (monster) connection. 

Send us Fan MailDeepti and Sean were overall quite tickled by UGT. Luann was unHINGED and made this girls trip so incredibly entertaining to watch. Vicky made an unpredictable turnaround - how did that even HAPPEN?? Sean doesn't care for Gizelle but Deepti has a soft spot for her. WHY did Lisa Barlow not apologize for being late??? Cynthia Bailey as 50 Cent was absolutely outrageous and amazing! A close second was Carole Radziwill as Stephen Tyler. Overall, this Ultimate Girls Trip season was a fun watch. 

Send us Fan MailDeepti and Sean are still holding out for an actually decent season of RHONY Reboot. We learn much more about Hailey - more background on the Jon & Kate + 8 situation and more on Hailey's loquacious mom. Daisy gets livid as Jessel insults her apartment popcorn ceiling AND the fact that it's rent-controlled (WHO judges a rent-controlled apt!?). Jessel continues to offend everyone in ep 3...she's acting way too much like a caricature of herself rather than authentically. Erin - AHHH! Always infuriating. We get a scene with Erika and her billionaire husband Ankur and a little more background on their extravagant lives. Carole continues to eye roll at Jessel. Sai has contributed next to nothing so far. 

Send us Fan MailTaylor Swift Rant ~ 13 min 34 sec through 20 min 24 secDeepti and Sean discuss the second episode of the season. Whitney takes a center role and tries to apologize to Lisa and Meredith, with Meredith of course not accepting! Meredith is super proud of her facelift. No mention by her of a wig situation yet. Lisa and Angie hilariously cannot ski. BRITANY is back and lies/claims she has been man-free for 6 weeks. New cast member Ashley Quai shows some promise. 

Send us Fan MailDeepti and Sean think S16 of New York is SHOCKINGLY promising! After such a dud reboot so far, these two episodes were actually good! Newcomers Daisy, Hailey and Erika seem like they could really deliver. They're not too much, not too little so far. Jessel is OFF HER ROCKER out of the gate! Yeeeesh! She's got a massive ego right now. Erin - UGH!!!!!! Carole Radziwill is a refreshing return so far. Sai - not as horrible as usual. Let's see how she does. Martha Stewart in the opening scene - FANTASTIC. 

Send us Fan MailDeepti and Sean were teary during the season 7 premiere of the Salt Lake City premiere b/c of the sad daeth of Robert Jr. RIP. Otherwise, the cast is back and ready to roll. Meredith's had a face lift, Lisa may have made her husband apologize to her on the show for being mean to her last season?, Whitney wants to make amends and isn't drinking this season in order to "be better", Heather - GROAN!, Bronwyn is starting off the season with a 32 year old boyfriend who models, is Meredith wearing a wig?? ... lots of promise for the upcoming season.
