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!

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?
