The Popcast With Knox and Jamie

In this episode, we’re weighing in on beige flags. Join us as we confess our own behaviors that aren’t full red flags but definitely deserve a closer look, then react to listener submissions with equal parts curiosity, chaos, and confusion. Some are totally fine, some are secretly alarming, and some are weirdly iconic.

Beige Flag as defined by JBG: An odd trait, while not an immediate cause for concern, is cause for pause. It’s not a deal breaker like a red flag, but it’s not exactly a plus, like a green flag. The key is that it’s weird, but harmless. Example: eating pizza with a fork.

In this episode, Knoxtradamus and Jamie dust off the crystal ball to predict the pop culture future of 2026. From comebacks we’re already dreading to the press tours we’re pre-judging months in advance, we’re forecasting the good, the bad, and the delightfully unhinged moments headed our way. Plus, we place our boldest bets yet by predicting which movies Erin will actually watch this year—and yes, the odds are slim.
