The "Useless Boyfriend" Trope Is Taking Over Hollywood & Did Phoebe Bridgers Write A Gracie Abrams Diss Track?
06/08/2026 | 29 mins.Miranda Kerr broke down her "day on a plate" on Kristen Cavallari's podcast, and it is unhinged... venison, bison, caviar (no parasites, apparently), but absolutely no eggs, kale or sourdough. We can't stop thinking about it.
Phoebe Bridgers' new album has a lyric that sounds suspiciously like a dig at Gracie Abrams, and once you add Paul Mescal and some very specific glow-in-the-dark bed sheets into the mix, this "feud" gets a lot messier. Feud or genius songwriting? We're deciding.
Also: have you noticed every movie this year has a completely useless boyfriend? From Devil Wears Prada 2 to Hugh Grant across three separate films, we're asking if Hollywood's newest trope is actually good for women.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. - Laura and TB have the roundup you didn't know you needed: the underrated rom-coms buried so deep in your streaming services you forgot you were paying for them. No While You Were Sleeping, no repeats — strictly the films they're obsessed with and no one else seems to have seen.
We're talking a wedding-season two-hander with the ultimate rom-com nepo baby, a magical crab that turns a woman who can't boil water into a five-star chef, and a very naked, very smart mermaid who accidentally sparked a decades-long baby-name trend.
There's a British train-station case of mistaken identity, a French time-travel curveball, and one small-town love triangle so tortured Tina's convinced it's basically Shakespeare. Consider your watchlist sorted.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.- We're back with Part 2, where Odysseus finally makes it home — but not before the sirens, a brutal choice between two sea monsters, and a nymph who keeps him around a little too long.
We get into why keeping the sirens shrouded in mist works better than showing us what's out there, and Odysseus's secret calculation between two monsters that his crew never forgive him for.
And of course, we simply had to chart Robert Pattinson's full pipeline from broody love interest to snivelling coward. That's a wrap on our Odyssey era.
