You begged, DLs, so here it is: a very special watch-party episode breaking down the latest horny hockey show to dominate Q2 - Off Campus. Based on Elle Kennedy’s bestselling Off-Campus books, the Prime Video series follows music student Hannah Wells, played by Ella Bright, and Briar University hockey captain Garrett Graham, played by Belmont Cameli. What stars as a tutoring arrangement and fake-dating plot naturally becomes something much hornier and much more emotionally complicated. The show has become a global phenomenon, attracting 36 million viewers within its first 12 days and already scoring a second season. While it’s clearly made for a Gen Z audience, we millennials are LOSING OUR MINDS over it. Lu and BB unpack why we think it’s landing so well with our demo audience, the show's broader cultural impacts, and everything we know about Off Campus season 2.

Are We Too Old For Off Campus?

It was the millennial equivalent of a Royal Wedding, with music icon Taylor Swift marrying Kansas City Chiefs NFL player Travis Kelce in the most lavish, over-the-top celebration imaginable - at none other than Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3rd. From the very modern bridal party to the Dior gown, the snubs, the surprises, the juicy goss (including one very naughty speech), the cinematic treatment and the show-stopping performances, this wedding, nay, GLOBAL UNION OF LOVE, will go down in the pop culture history books. And will most likely be turned into an actual movie. Because we are nothing if not committed to bringing you the piping hot Taylor wedding TEA, we even have a special NYC correspondent, Kate Ruth Reeves, on the ground and following the goss for us in real time.

Let’s unpack it in all its T&T* glory.

Taylor Swift’s Wedding Is Coming To A Cinema Near You 

Another week, another streamer rom-com has taken over the internet. This week’s film of the moment? Voicemails For Isabelle, the Netflix hit everyone is calling the best rom-com in years. The film follows Jill, a grieving chef played by Zoey Deutch, who keeps leaving wildly confessional voicemails on her late sister Isabelle’s old number - only for that number to be reassigned to Wes, played by Nick Robinson, an Austin real estate hotshot who starts listening in and falling in love from afar. So, is this a swoony 90s rom-com throwback, or are movies trying to recreate something that was lightning in a bottle?  Or does it not really matter, and can’t we all just suspend reality for two hours and watch hot young people do hot things? We discuss.

WATCH PARTY: Voicemails For Isabelle - RomCom Revival Or Chasing A Dragon?

Coming in hot with very exciting couples’ news: from the A-list power couple Down Under, to the Off Campus IRL couple - love is in the air. Speaking of, Lu had a DAYTIME hook-up at the Aussie’s soccer game on Friday and she’s SPILLING all the deets. Hey Karl Stefanovic, we’ve got your number, babe. The now-sacked Today host appears to be following a very obvious formula for becoming a right-wing podcast bro and, quite frankly, we think it stinks. Have you ever heard of a “gender swayer”? Because MAFS golden couple Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant, who share two sons, are using one in the hopes of conceiving a daughter. And as proud girl mums and boy mums respectively, it’s brought up a lot of questions for us. Then, our INs and OUTs include an awesome new second-hand website landing in Australia and the ultimate winter accessory.
