After some technical difficulties, we're delivering last week's main episode this week instead. Halfway through recording our episode on the latest Hunger Games book, Matt's audio cut out, so we re-recorded the back half of the episode. However, that means there are some points we discuss twice in this episode and some we don't hit on at all. May the odds ever be in your favor as you piece through this episode, and we'll be back in a few weeks when Shelby returns from her Japanese vacation.

Pop Culture Roundup #194
Blue Origin sent Gayle King screaming into space. Aimee Lou thinks SNL went too far. Weezer has Coachella but they also have legal problems (attempted murder). For love it or hate it, Matt declines Drop and Shelby’s returned to The Last of Us.

The White Lotus Season 3 (Episode 294)
“I’m just a people pleaser,” we say as we finally get to dedicate an entire episode to White Lotus S3. With incest, female friendship, and blood money in the balance, was Mike White able to stick the landing on his most ambitious season yet? There might not be tsunamis, but there’s still a lot (for brothers) to love.

Pop Culture Roundup #193
Olivia Munn asks the brave question about Katy Perry’s ASStronauts. SNL *is* god's country. Team Gabby had their first crisis of faith. And Minecraft is…succeeding? For love it or hate it, we’re both gaga for The Studio so you better watch it.

Death of a Unicorn (Episode 293)
Matt and Shelby discuss unicorns, big pharma and the prospect of being ripped in half for your boss.
This weekly podcast finds two friends who are constantly at odds coming together to talk all things pop culture. With a quirky sense of humor (and a complete lack of humility), Shelby and Matt put their fingers on the pulse of social media’s zeitgeist as they discuss, dissect, and dismantle current moments in movies, music, and more. These self-proclaimed tastemakers are eager to prove their point and serve their tea too. Because you may think you’re right but P.S. You’re Wrong.
