Smash or Pass
In this episode, we’re playing a high-stakes game of Smash or Pass with the latest pop culture offerings. Join us as we debate if anyone needed a Shrek 5, whether the controversy surrounding Bhad Bhadie and Alabama Barker even qualifies as a beef, and decide how we feel about the new floodlighting trend and the new season of White Lotus. Plus, Knox schools Jamie on the ‘Montoya, por favor!’ hype.
