The Overshare Pamphlet

After a little break, I’m finally back — and this week I’m diving into the Met Gala 2026, the best (and worst) looks of the night, and why this year’s theme had so much potential but still felt surprisingly safe. I talk about the people who actually understood the assignment — from Emma Chamberlain and Hunter Schafer to Sabrina Carpenter — and why Zendaya’s absence was definitely felt.But the main topic of the episode is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: what actually makes a movie star in 2026? Using Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as examples, I get into how social media, internet culture, fandoms, and “influencer energy” are completely reshaping Hollywood fame. I also touch on Timothée Chalamet, celebrity branding, and why newer actors feel more connected to audiences than traditional stars ever did.Plus, Songs of the Week featuring Holly Humberstone, Naomi Scott, Malcolm Todd, BABYMONSTER, Wet Leg, ILYKimchi, and more.🛒 Zivolife - Exclusive patented superfood!💰 Get 30% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLEThttps://promocode.to/zivolife/oversharepamphlet-67aYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

I’m back this week breaking down all things Coachella—from the performances to the chaos, the cringe, and the moments everyone’s talking about.I get into the headliners (Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G), what worked, what didn’t, and the internet’s reactions—plus standout sets, surprise guests, and all the messy festival discourse that somehow becomes half the experience.Also: Songs of the Week, featuring a few tracks I’ve been obsessed with lately.🛒 AKILA - Sunglasses, eyewear💰 Get 10% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLEThttps://akila.la/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

I’m back after a short break and diving straight into my first impressions of Euphoria Season 3. This episode, I talk about the show’s shift away from its high school roots, the darker (and slightly chaotic) new direction, and whether the characters—and even the cast—have outgrown the series.I get into what’s working, what’s not, and why I’m still tuning in anyway. Plus, I share what I’m hoping to see for the rest of the season.Also: Songs of the Week, featuring Tiffany Day’s Halo and a few tracks I’ve been obsessed with lately 🎶🛒 Klear Protein - Klear Protein💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLEThttps://klearprotein.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

It’s Oscars night, so this week we’re staying firmly in the movie world. I break down two very different new releases I watched this week: Pixar’s surprisingly successful animated film Hoppers and the latest Colleen Hoover adaptation Reminders of Him.First, we talk about why Hoppers might signal Pixar finding its momentum again — from its strong box office debut to its environmental themes, its clear Avatar-inspired premise, and where it sits in the wider Pixar catalogue. Then we switch gears into a much messier conversation about Reminders of Him: questionable character decisions, chaotic morality, casting choices, and why the film ultimately feels flatter than the emotional drama it’s trying to be.Plus, I wrap things up with Songs of the Week, featuring new music from Lena, Mitski, Dorian Electra, and more.🛒 Mantra Matcha: Blends With Benefits - Premium Japanese Matcha💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLEThttps://mantramatcha.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

This week on the podcast, we’re diving into a full-blown movie industry controversy. I break down the backlash surrounding Timothée Chalamet after his comments about opera and ballet during a recent interview sparked a massive online debate — and why this moment might signal a bigger shift in how audiences view modern movie stars.We unpack the broader context: Chalamet’s recent image change, his increasingly internet-driven persona, the pressures of awards season, and what happens when actors start clashing with the audiences that helped build their careers. Is this just another viral scandal, or a genuine turning point for one of Hollywood’s biggest young stars?Plus, we close out the episode with Songs of the Week, featuring new tracks from IVE, Tiffany Day, Wet Leg, and more.🛒 More Labs - Clinically proven recovery energy drinks💰 Get 25% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLEThttps://www.morelabs.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

This week in pop culture? Absolute chaos. From the $111 BILLION Paramount–Warner Bros. deal (and what it reallymeans for Hollywood, CNN, and the future of theatrical releases) to BLACKPINK casually rewriting the rules of global pop dominance, and Pokémon dropping Gen 10 like it’s nothing — we have a lot to unpack.I’m breaking down the politics behind the studio bidding war, why this merger could permanently split the industry in two, and whether we as consumers should actually be worried. Then we pivot to something far more fun: BLACKPINK proving (again) that they are trendsetters, not trend-chasers, and why Deadline solidifies their chokehold on culture. And finally — Pokémon: Winds & Waves, starters discourse, evolution trauma, and my formal request for a new Eeveelution.It’s media consolidation, K-pop dominance, and gamer chaos all in one episode. Welcome to the pop culture hurricane.🛒 AKILA - Sunglasses, eyewear💰 Get 10% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLEThttps://akila.la/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

In this week’s episode of The Overshare Pamphlet, I dive into my newest TV obsession: Love Story, the glossy, romantic drama about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, produced by Ryan Murphy. What starts as a tragic historical retelling quickly turns into a chic, 90s fashion-soaked, paparazzi-fueled saga about fame, glamour, and the cost of being America’s unofficial royal couple.I break down the casting (and why Paul Anthony Kelly is basically Bruce Wayne), the fashion, the yearning, the controversies surrounding the Kennedy family’s response, and whether the show romanticizes tragedy a little too comfortably. Plus, I wrap things up with Songs of the Week inspired by 90s R&B, Florence, and cinematic heartbreak.Get 10% off your cookies on Molly Bz with my code OVERSHAREPAMPHLET - https://mollybz.comYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

This week I’m unpacking Emerald Fennell’s new “Wuthering Heights” adaptation — and the bigger question it raises: what actually makes a good book-to-screen adaptation? I break down the original novel’s themes, the film’s biggest changes (and controversies), and why this version feels more like a stylized interpretation than a faithful retelling. Then I wrap up with Songs of the Week.🛒 Yarok Plant-Based Beauty - Vegan Hair Care💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLEThttps://yarokhair.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

This episode is late again… and yes, I have a reason. I stayed up for the Super Bowl like I’m American or something.So this week is basically a pop culture buffet: I’m talking about Bad Bunny’s halftime show (iconic, important, and honestly needed in this current political mess), plus my thoughts on the actual game even though I know absolutely nothing about American football. Like… I’m here for vibes, not touchdowns.Then I get into Taylor Swift’s new “Opalite” music video — the cameos, the storyline, AND the gag of her debuting it on streaming platforms instead of YouTube first. Mother is always ten steps ahead and it’s terrifying.I also talk about the new music I’ve been obsessed with lately, including the Tame Impala “Dracula” remix featuring Jennie (which is shockingly good??), and sombr’s new track “Homewrecker” which has me fully locked in.And obviously we finish with Songs of the Week — because I will never stop forcing my playlist on you.Enjoy, and I’ll see you next week… hopefully on a Monday. 😭Get 15% off your coffee on Afuera Coffee Co. with my code OVERSHAREPAMPHLETYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

The Grammys didn’t air on Monday, so this episode didn’t either. This week, I’m breaking down the 2026 Grammy Awards — reacting to the biggest wins, the biggest shocks, and how everything lined up with the predictions I made a few episodes back.I go through the major categories, from the general field to pop, dance, R&B, and rap, sharing my honest thoughts on who deserved their wins, who didn’t, and why this year’s ceremony felt a little… mid. We’re talking performances, snubs, fashion moments, and the interactions that actually made the night worth watching.I wrap things up with Songs of the Week, kicking off the February 2026 playlist with fresh pop, R&B, dance, and jazz picks.New month, new episode — and, as always, a lot of opinions.🛒 Eric Javits - Designer Hats Worn by Melania & Others💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLEThttps://ericjavits.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

It’s still Oscars Domination Week, so I’m breaking down the 2026 Oscar nominations and sharing who I think shouldwin vs. who I think will win. From major acting races to Best Picture, Director, and some truly baffling snubs (yes, we’re talking Wicked), this episode is full of hot takes, praise, and a little chaos.I also talk about Sinners’ historic nominations, horror finally getting recognition, and the films I can’t stop thinking about months later. Plus, a quick word from this week’s sponsor AKILA (get 10% off - https://akila.la/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET), and my Songs of the Week to close out January.Let me know where you agree — and please don’t drag me.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

I’m finally doing it — I’m ranking all three High School Musical movies, and yes, this might ruin my life.As a lifelong HSM superfan, I break down which movie actually deserves the top spot, why the first one is still the blueprint, and where HSM 2 and Senior Year shine (and fall apart). Expect nostalgia, Sharpay Evans supremacy, chaotic hot takes, and strong opinions about iconic songs and missed opportunities.This episode is sponsored by Love Indus..

This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, I’m diving back into movie reviews with a deep, emotional look at Hamnet, the critically acclaimed new film directed by Chloé Zhao. With awards season officially underway, this film has been getting a lot of buzz — especially for Jesse Buckley’s incredible lead performance, which completely floored me.In the episode, I talk about how Hamnet reimagines the origins of Shakespeare’s Hamlet through grief, parenthood, and marriage, focusing on Agnes Hathaway and William Shakespeare as they navigate the loss of their son. What stayed with me most wasn’t the plot, but the emotional tone — the way the film captures loss so honestly and makes you feel it, even if you’ve never experienced something like it yourself.I also touch on Zhao’s stunning pastoral direction, the film’s themes of love, resentment, and healing, and why this might be one of my favorite performances of the year. To wrap things up, I share my Songs of the Week — three tracks I’ve had on repeat and can’t stop thinking about.Bring tissues.Get 25% off More Labs with the code OVERSHAREPAMPHLET https://www.morelabs.comYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

Happy New Year!In this episode, I’m kicking off 2026 with my official pop culture ins & outs — what I’m leaving firmly in 2025 and what I’m manifesting for the year ahead.From controversial internet figures and exhausted celebrity discourse, to trends I’m officially done pretending to enjoy, I break down the moments, people, and vibes I’m ready to move on from. On the flip side, I get into what I do want more of in 2026: new pop girl energy, Canadian cultural domination, a proper song of the summer, a 2010s-inspired music revival, exciting film moments, and long-awaited returns from some of my favorite artists.We also talk music trends, movies, TV, internet culture, fashion obsessions, and why 2026 might finally be the year pop culture feels fun again.Plus: Songs of the Week to start the year strong and a quick word from today’s sponsor - Klear Protein - you can access 20% off through this link: https://klearprotein.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETNew episodes every Monday at 6 a.m. UK time.

I’m back from the holidays to talk about why Avengers: Doomsday has become the most searched movie of next year—and why so much is riding on it. With Marvel struggling post-Endgame and the superhero genre clearly facing burnout, this new Avengers film feels like a real make-or-break moment.I break down Marvel’s recent missteps, DC’s reboot, the return of legacy characters, Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, and the surprisingly inventive marketing strategy that’s driving the hype.I also wrap up the episode with Songs of the Week, inspired by my Christmas trip to Lisbon, featuring music from the Heated Rivalry soundtrack plus French and Portuguese discoveries.Sponsor: Strong Coffee Company Get 20% off with code OVER SHARE PALM FLIT at strongcoffeecompany.com (https://strongcoffeecompany.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET)You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, I finally give in to my latest obsession: Heated Rivalry.With the season finale approaching, this episode is a mix of review, love letter, and pitch for anyone who hasn’t started the show yet. Five episodes in, Heated Rivalry has proven itself to be a modern TV standout — a rare series that’s completely captured the cultural conversation.I break down why the show works so well, from its underdog rise as a low-budget Canadian exclusive to its global success, and dive into the decade-spanning, slow-burn romance between rival hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosenov. We talk queerness, secrecy, ambition, emotional repression, and why the show’s portrayal of intimacy and vulnerability feels so powerful and addictive.I also explore why Heated Rivalry resonates across audiences, how it challenges hyper-masculine sports narratives, and why it feels like a true lightning-in-a-bottle moment for television.Plus, Songs of the Week, featuring standout tracks from the show’s soundtrack and beyond.New episodes every Monday at 6 a.m. UK time.This episode also features my new sponsor, Yarok Plant-Based Hair Care, and I’m giving Spotify listeners an exclusive 15% off their entire order.https://yarokhair.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETYou can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, I break down my first impressions of Taylor Swift’s new docu-series The End of an Era, released during her birthday week alongside the extended Eras Tour film.I talk about what the series gets right — the scale, preparation, and emotional weight of the tour — and where it feels overly curated, repetitive, or hesitant to explore discomfort and burnout. I also share what I’m hoping to see in the remaining episodes.Plus, Songs of the Week featuring Maisie Peters, Tate McRae, Tiffany Stringer, Daya, and more.New episodes every Monday at 6 a.m. UK time.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets🛒 Strong Coffee Company - Protein Coffee💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLEThttps://strongcoffeecompany.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET

This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, I’m diving into the wild news that Netflix has won the bid to buy Warner Bros. The deal isn’t government-approved yet, but the fallout has already started — and honestly, it could change Hollywood in some pretty alarming ways.I break down how Warner Bros. ended up here, why Netflix wants this massive IP library so badly, and the huge antitrust concerns being raised by senators, unions, and major directors. I also get into what this merger could mean for theaters, smaller studios, streaming prices, and the future of movies as we know them.You’ll also hear my Songs of the Week — from Demi Lovato to Jesse Jo Stark, Elle Coves, and yes… my full Michael Bublé era — plus a quick shoutout to this week’s sponsor, AKILA.

In this week’s episode, I’m getting honest about something a lot of us are feeling: entertainment is starting to feel overwhelmingly mid. I break down why—from streaming platforms burying originality to Hollywood clinging to endless sequels, remakes, and nostalgia reboots. I talk about the industry’s growing fear of risk, how vertical integration has changed what we’re allowed to discover, and the rare films and shows that still manage to cut through the noise.I also dig into a recent tweet that sent me spiraling back into this topic, plus a Guardian article that perfectly captures Hollywood’s current slump. And of course, I share my Songs of the Week—a mix of warm, summery tracks and new finds that have been living rent-free in my head.This episode also features my new sponsor, Yarok Plant-Based Hair Care, and I’m giving Spotify listeners an exclusive 15% off their entire order. https://yarokhair.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLETIf you care about original storytelling, good music, and figuring out where entertainment is headed, this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode of The Overshare Pamphlet, I’m finally back after a short break, and I couldn’t wait to sit down and talk about one of the year’s biggest releases: Wicked: Part Two — Wicked For Good.This film picks up right where Part One left off, adapting the second half of the original stage musical—and it’s definitely the darker, sadder, and more emotionally complicated half. I get into why this chapter hits harder, how Glinda and Elphaba’s stories evolve, and the way the movie leans into themes like truth, propaganda, revolution, power, and moral ambiguity.I also break down how the tone, pacing, and structure differ from Part One, whether splitting the story really paid off, and yes… I even compare it to the Avengers two-part structure because honestly, it fits. And of course, I talk about the performances—Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, and the rest of the cast—plus the box office expectations and how loyal the film stays to the stage version.I wrap things up with Songs of the Week, including a few nostalgic favorites for Thanksgiving and some new picks.If you’ve already seen Wicked: Part Two—or you’re planning to—this episode is the perfect companion.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 2025 Grammy nominations — from Record and Album of the Year to the biggest surprises and snubs. I share my honest reactions, predictions, and who I think truly deserves to take home the gold. Expect plenty of opinions, a little bit of chaos, and a lot of pop culture commentary.Then, I switch gears to talk about Lux, Rosalia’s newest album that’s shaking up the industry. I dive into how she’s reinventing herself through classical and operatic influences, explore her multilingual artistry, and highlight some of my favorite tracks. This record isn’t just an album — it’s an experience, and I unpack exactly why it feels so revolutionary.To close things off, I round up my favorite new tracks of the week, from vibrant European pop to introspective bangers that deserve a spot on your playlist.

Welcome back to The Overshare Pamphlet! Today, we’re diving deep into the best albums of 2025 (so far).I know, I know… it’s early to be talking “Album of the Year” contenders, but the music nerd in me couldn’t resist. From Lorde’s Virgin to Addison Rae’s debut, Doja Cat’s ‘80s R&B experiment to Lady Gaga’s triumphant MAYHEM, I’m ranking my top 10 projects that defined this year in sound, vision, and pure vibes.We’ll talk about standout tracks, creative risks, and why some albums hit harder than others — plus, a few predictions for Grammy season. Whether you’re into K-pop innovation, cinematic R&B, or chaotic pop perfection, this list has something for you.Grab your headphones, maybe a can of Aspire (shoutout to our sponsor!), and let’s rank, rave, and overanalyze — because that’s what we do best.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweetsGet 20% off on green tea-powered energy drinks at ASPIRE® Healthy Energy:https://shop.aspiredrinks.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET

I’m finally back with an album review — and what a comeback it is. This week, I dive deep into West End Girl, the brand-new album from Lily Allen, which has completely blown me away. Written and recorded in just ten days, this project is raw, emotional, and beautifully cohesive — a powerful reflection on her split from David Harbour and the complexities of modern relationships, infidelity, and self-worth.In this episode, I take you through the album track by track, unpacking how Lily crafts one of the most compelling narratives I’ve heard in years. From the heartbreak of “West End Girl” and “Ruminating” to the biting honesty of “Tennis,” “Madeline,” and “Nonmonogamummy,” all the way to the cathartic closer “Fruity Loop,” this record feels like her most personal and complete body of work yet.For me, West End Girl is Lily Allen’s Melodrama — or her Lemonade. It’s storytelling at its finest, and it’s restored my faith in the art of the cohesive album. I talk about why this record hit me so hard, why I think it’s the best of the year, and how it manages to turn heartbreak into something liberating and profound.Takeaway: In a year that’s felt creatively flat, Lily Allen’s West End Girl reminded me that honesty and emotion still cut through — and I can’t wait for you to hear why.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweetsGet 15% off on your matcha at Mantra Matcha:https://mantramatcha.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET

In this week’s episode of The Overshare Pamphlet, I’m switching things up a bit. Instead of my usual deep dives into music and internet culture, I’m talking about the fast-approaching 2025 awards season — and honestly, what a weird year it’s been for entertainment. Between algorithms fracturing audiences and the lack of true breakout hits, it feels like no one’s watching or listening to the same thing anymore.I share my thoughts on the big Oscar contenders — from Sinners and One Battle After Another to Wicked: Part Two — plus some under-the-radar picks like Hamnet and Marty Supreme. I also chat about what this year says about where movies (and pop culture in general) are heading, and why it’s getting harder to create real cultural “moments.”And of course, I couldn’t end without my Songs of the Week — with new favorites from Carly Rae Jepsen, PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson, Kim Petras, and Kim Lip. Expect plenty of opinions, some passionate rants, and a few hot takes along the way.Grab your morning coffee — or an Aspire Healthy Energy if you’re feeling fancy — and let’s dive into the chaos that is Hollywood’s award season.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweetsGet 20% off on green tea-powered energy drinks at ASPIRE® Healthy Energy:https://shop.aspiredrinks.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET

This week we dive into the return of Cardi B with her long-awaited sophomore album Am I the Drama. After seven years since Invasion of Privacy, does it live up to the hype, or has the momentum faded? We break down the album’s highlights, misses, features, and whether Cardi still has the passion for music — or if her strength lies elsewhere.We also talk about Taylor Swift’s bold new move: a theatrical event to launch her upcoming album. From AMC distribution deals to a behind-the-scenes look at her creative process, we explore how Taylor continues to redefine music promotion while laying the groundwork for her film ambitions.Plus, quick takes on Jimmy Kimmel’s show being pulled indefinitely, Charlie Kirk’s assassination and its fallout, rising concerns of censorship under Trump’s administration, and Palestine’s recognition as a country.It’s a packed episode filled with music, culture, and politics you won’t want to miss.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweetsGet 15% off on iconic music and sports fan merch at Old Glory:https://oldglory.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET

On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk — one of the most influential and controversial figures of America’s far-right politics — was fatally shot during a Turning Point USA debate event in Utah. His assassination has shocked the political world, sparking international reactions, renewed debates on gun violence, and, inevitably, a wave of conspiracies.In this episode, we take a closer look at who Charlie Kirk was, why his death matters for U.S. politics, and how his legacy shapes the MAGA movement. We’ll explore the narratives emerging from both the left and right, including surprising claims from Kirk’s longtime ally Candace Owens, who is raising questions about the role of Netanyahu, Israel, and the U.S. government itself.While many details remain unclear — and speculation continues to run wild — this episode asks what Kirk’s assassination reveals about America’s current political climate, the rise of anti-establishment sentiment, and the dangerous crossroads of ideology, misinformation, and violence.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweetsGet 20% off on your protein powder at Klear Protein with my code below:https://klearprotein.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET

This episode, I’m diving deep into my gaming bag and delivering what can only be described as an unnecessarily passionate TED Talk about a game franchise that’s finally made its long, long awaited return.That’s right, my fellow indie game enthusiasts — Hollow Knight is back with its first official sequel: Hollow Knight: Silksong.Often hailed as the king of indie 2D Metroidvania games, Silksong not only lives up to the hype — it blows past expectations in more ways than one. And let me tell you, the launch? It was nothing short of historic.The anticipation was so intense that platforms like Steam and the Nintendo eShop literally crashed at launch. Players couldn’t buy or even download the game as servers buckled under the demand. Within just 45 minutes, Silksong hit over 100,000 concurrent players, peaking at more than half a million on day one. It shot to #10 on Steam’s most-played list and secured a spot as the 29th most played game of all time on the platform — on day one.It also topped the sales charts on both Steam and the eShop.And here’s the wildest part: this entire phenomenon was created by just three people. Yep — Team Cherry, a tiny indie studio, pulled all this off with a price point so reasonable, it’s putting major game publishers to shame.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweetsGet 15% off on your matcha at Mantra Matcha with my code below:https://mantramatcha.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET

In this episode, we dive into Sabrina Carpenter’s highly anticipated follow-up to Short n’ Sweet — her new project Man’s Best Friend. Does it live up to the pop perfection of Espresso and Please Please? Not quite — but there’s still plenty to love. We break down the sonic shift from California soft rock to ABBA-inspired disco, the cheeky lyrics that made us double-take, and where this album hits (and misses). From the irresistible energy of Manchild and Tears to the hilarious brilliance of Goodbye, we go track by track and get real about what works, what doesn’t, and whether Sabrina’s still got the juice.Plus, I share my honest take on Taylor Swift’s recent engagement — what it means for her songwriting, her lore, and how the internet is reacting (spoiler: it’s chaotic).

Today’s episode: As summer winds down and the absence of a true “song of the summer” becomes more apparent, it feels like the perfect moment to reflect on what has been a surprisingly underwhelming year for pop music. Despite high-profile returns from artists like Lorde, Sabrina Carpenter, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber, none have managed to make a significant impact on the charts or the cultural zeitgeist. This trend points to the accelerating breakdown of the traditional pop monoculture.But perhaps there’s more at play. With few artists committing fully to a “pure pop” sound, economic uncertainty pushing listeners toward nostalgic comfort in older music, and a general confusion about what the public actually wants right now, the genre seems caught in a moment of transition.Still, there’s hope. The year isn’t over yet, and the final quarter of 2025 could deliver major moments, with anticipated releases from Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, and of course, Taylor Swift. So stay tuned—pop’s next big moment might be just around the corner.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

Today’s Episode: I finally saw Lana Del Rey live—and let’s just say, she was predictably underwhelming. This isn’t a knock on her vocals or stage presence; those are intact. The real issue lies in the overall execution of the show. A surprisingly short setlist, the glaring absence of some of her most iconic and critically acclaimed songs, minimal stage design, and noticeable delays made the experience feel... phoned in.Oddly enough, Addison Rae ended up being one of the few highlights, adding a bit of unexpected value to the night. And sure, Lana’s charm still radiates—but was that enough to justify the cost of a stadium tour ticket?
