Emmy Legacy Award, Conformity Gate and Hudson Williams
In this episode, we recap this week in pop culture news. Join us as we discuss the implications of the new Emmy Legacy Award, spiral through the wild alternate-ending theories for Stranger Things, and unpack the loss of anonymity that came with Hudson Williams’ meteoric rise to fame. Plus, Erin crowns this week’s Say Less Champion (question mark?), and Jamie kicks off the year with a Golden Globes–themed Rapid Red Lights.
