    175. Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams On & Off Screen

    03/07/2026 | 1h 20 mins.
    It's a couples episode!!! Join me to relive one of the most iconic on and off screen relationships of the 2000s! Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams met during production of The Notebook and instantly hated each other... so naturally, 2 years later they were madly in love. It's a fine line, people. I explain the on-set drama that lead up to an awkward press tour and eventually their real life romance blooming. I also talk about the impact of The Notebook on all of our lives, what makes the movie so effective, what's great about it and what's not so great. Finally, I share clips and quotes of the two fawning over each other during and after the relationship ended.

    173. Hanson: Beyond MMMBop

    22/05/2026 | 1h 34 mins.
    I've made hundreds of episodes about artists i'm hugely passionate about, but never covered my favorite band, Hanson. Why? I have too much to say about how much I love their music and the way they move through life and the industry... and frankly, I wouldn't know where to begin. Since I'm hosting a giveaway of Hanson tickets and meet & greets for a couple of their shows this summer, I figured it was finally the time to attempt it. I hope it's entertaining for die-hard fans who can relate to everything I'm saying as well as my listeners who maybe aren't as familiar. In this episode, I explain why Hanson is one of the most uniquely talented and savvy bands in music history, talking about their early days that turned into worldwide success and ultimately the creation of their own independent label, 3CG Records. I cover three of their most important songs, sharing personal stories as to why they're so meaningful to me and many of their fans as well as recounting some recent exciting experiences I've had with the band. Finally, I give my opinion about the rumors swirling in the fandom that Hanson might be winding down. After 34 years, are they closing shop, or just getting started?

    ENTER THE HANSON TICKET and MEET & GREET GIVEAWAY by going to the @ashleeandjessicast Instagram or Tiktok and finding the "Hanson Giveaway" video.

    2. FOLLOW @ashleeandjessicast on Tiktok and Instagram

    Oh wow... it's been awhile so we have a LOT to talk about as we go from late 2003-Summer 2004 in the world of Hilary Duff! I know you've all been wanting that deep dive on A Cinderella Story and I am here to serve that up on a silver platter from Hal's Diner! I also get into all the details you never knew on Hilary's "Stuff by Hilary Duff" product line as well as her controversial boyfriend at the time, insane touring schedule, and who "Mature" is REALLY about............. like I said, it's a lot!!! How did we get here... was it luck or something? I don't know but I'm enjoying the look back at Hilary's career. I hope you are too!

    171. Top 5 Moments from Boy Band Confidential

    16/04/2026 | 42 mins.
    A new documentary on what it was REALLY like to be a member of a 90s/00s boy band has been released on Investigation Discovery and HBO Max. Produced by Joey Fatone of *NSYNC, this two-part series goes a lot farther than the myriad of others produced on the subject. Here I go through 5 moments that stood out to me, but really there is SO MUCH more that I could not possibly cover so you should definitely check it out for yourself and let me know your thoughts!
