CRUSHED
This week I demanded a Crushed themed episode in honour of my birthday. Fortunately, Auntie Amy complied. We gush over the effortless talented Tom Hardy and the painfully cool Milo Ventimiglia. We hope you like it! Remember to account for those 25% tariffs and may the Cult be with you!...

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
I don’t know about you, but we needed a little joy in this sea of unending despair so we thought we would chat about one of our favourite things: Disney. East Coast Auntie Amy came in with the Disney World history and I, West Coast Esteemed Cult Leader Megs, dug up some of my favourite facts and...

Banned from the Bookstore

How Normal is Paul "The Brick Wall" Mescal?
I asked Cult Elder Auntie Amy who she wanted to know more about this week and she said “Paul Mescal,” or, more specifically, how the heck he went from Normal People to Gladiator 2.

The Truth Is Out There

The Time Travelling Targaryen
I asked Cult Elder Auntie Amy who I should cover for this week’s “Intermission with Megs” and she said “Matt Smith.” Given the fact that we have both been watching House of the Dragon (of Game of Dragons as I like to call it), I thought Matthew would be a fitting subject for this week’s...
