The Popcast With Knox and Jamie

In this episode, we recap this week's pop culture news. Join us as we take a very scientific look at the celebrity stock market. From Aaron Rodgers’ latest podcast comments to Sydney Sweeney’s controversial new brand deal and the Biebers’ uninspired interview, we’re sharing who’s worth buying into and who we’re selling. Plus, we discuss if Andrew Garfield’s upcoming films will be as big and in charge as his hair.
