WE'RE MOVING!! Well... Jacob and Connor are. So for our last episode in our OG studio, we covered a little bit of everything!

We discuss Jacob's first trip to Halloween Horror Nights (and his theater kid screams), more "Childless Millennials in the News" (or in FB rants from angry Disney parents), some recent pop culture moments from one of the stars of the new Wicked movie, Cynthia Erivo, as well as juxtaposing recent Chappell Roan paparazzi and Tom Holland paparazzi moments.

In this week's Violently Millennial segment, we're talking internet habits (do you know what a "big screen purchase" is?) and how different generations use emojis, gifs and more.

As always, thank you so much for watching and we want you to join the conversation with us! Like our video and subscribe to our channel, then weigh in on some of these topics in the comments! We are just two people yapping and we love hearing your perspectives on these topics. Thanks, y'all!

Welcome back! We maaaaaay have upset the living ghost of Patti LuPone... we were talking about her and the power went out. Oopsieeeee! But no worries—we figured it out. (sorry for the audio quality!)

Jacob and Kalen start with some Halloween season madness, from early décor shopping to Kalen’s misadventure at Disneyland, which involved a mobile order, a twisted ankle, and a trip to urgent care. (Zach, you were a real one through it all.)

In our “Not This” segment, we unpack Patti LuPone’s MCU shade during a red carpet interview. What the heck, Patti? We compare her response with the positive attitude of Debra Jo Rupp and talk about the creative value superhero movies bring to pop culture.

La La Land debate alert! Is it a musical or not? We break down the film’s mix of diegetic and non-diegetic music, defend its storytelling, and compare its backlash to the Frozen phenomenon. Plus, Jacob reflects on how blockbuster superhero movies now serve as escapism in the same way musicals once did.

What do you think? Is La La Land a musical? Are superhero films the new theater? Let us know on Instagram! And don’t forget to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts.

WE HAVE OUR FIRST GUEST! (and we may have set the bar way too high with this one...)

Please welcome... Jackie Cox!!! Jackie is a drag performer best known for her appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race and TV shows like Days of Our Lives. In this episode, we explore the intersection of fandom and entertainment careers, diving into Jackie’s journey as a Disney fan and performer at Disneyland, her time on Drag Race, and her love for other fandoms like Star Trek (and Kalen may have convinced Jacob and Jackie to play Dungeons and Dragons).

This week's Violently Millennial topic? Millennial Fashion.

And we feature a very special "Not This" entry from none other than Jackie herself!
