Revolutionary Biopic 'Better Man,' the TikTok Ban, and 2025 Ins and Outs | We're Obsessed

from Ringer Dish · host The Ringer

Welcome to 2025, folks! Jodi is joined by Alexis Wilson in our first episode of the new year to first go over a few funny little things that have happened over the past two weeks, including Zendaya and Tom Holland getting engaged, Mrs. Fields of cookie fame being revealed to be a baddie, a Carrie Underwood stan account turning on her, and Club Chalamet’s busy month (0:45). Then, they name the United States government as Traitor of the Week for banning TikTok (22:37) and do a full deep dive on the bizarre and wonderful Robbie Williams (who?) musical biopic, ‘Better Man,’ throughout which he is depicted as a CGI chimp (35:35). Finally, in honor of the new year and all it can bring, they share their ins and outs for 2025 (1:03:18).
