On the show today, the subpoena against Taylor Swift has been pulled from the upcoming Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively trial, and a new statement has given us a clue about where the women’s famous friendship really stands. 

Plus, a series of toxic workplace allegations against Blake Lively have just been made public, and some of these stores about what it was like to work with her are truly unhinged. But how many of them are true?
In order to figure this out, we have to deep dive into the rise and fall of Blake Lively’s infamous lifestyle company, from its Vogue launch to the moment it all went up in (artisanal) flames.

These New “Toxic” Allegations Against Blake Lively Have Been Hidden For Years

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/00b4ecb4-d2c5-435e-b4c1-b2ea0046cf55/transcript

Em and Laura are making the case that TV is the place where opposites attract love stories actually live—because sometimes you need multiple seasons to make us believe the yearning. They're unpacking why these unlikely couples hit so different when you watch them unfold across episodes rather than a two-hour movie, complete with a deep dive into exactly why enemies-to-lovers and sunshine-meets-grump dynamics are the peak of on-screen romance.

It's all about the gradual shift, the moment they stop hating each other, the way they complete each other. Expect Em and Laura to convince you that you absolutely need to start rewatching these shows immediately.

The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch! Link here.

These Opposites Attract Love Stories Have Us Swooning

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/b9e0c98c-19a6-46b0-8f1c-b44a005a6b81/transcript

The first Star Wars film in seven years just hit cinemas—and it works as a complete standalone. Pedro Pascal is the gruff dad bounty hunter, but the animatronic creature steals every scene. It's packed with action, hilarious moments, and surprisingly emotional beats. 

Netflix just dropped a three-part documentary about one of pop culture's biggest icons. It covers her early life in Australia, her rise to fame, past relationships, cancer diagnoses (including one she kept secret), and failed IVF journeys. It's glossy, emotional, and genuinely riveting—even if you're not already a superfan, you'll be by the end.

Plus, the Duffer Brothers have executive produced an eight-episode gem about retirees in a desert retirement community discovering a sinister entity attacking residents. The cast is absolutely stacked, and it's genuinely creepy, chaotic, and emotional. Completely binge-worthy.

Weekend Watch: The First Star Wars Film In 7 Years & The Duffer Brothers Gem You Need To Binge This Weekend

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/48c4b876-9377-4119-9b7d-b44a00594bc3/transcript

Emily Henry was forced to break her silence on the "Not My Gus" casting backlash for Beach Read—and the careful way she refused to defend Patrick Schwarzenegger is telling us everything.

Meanwhile, Miles Teller dropped a bomb at Cannes about why he refuses to do any written magazine profiles ever again, and it all traces back to a 2015 Esquire hit piece that called him "kind of a dick". We're unpacking the full context of that profile, how it defined his entire early career, and whether the writer deserves a redemption arc. Here is the horrendously awkward profile piece he is referencing. 

Then, we're diving deep into Mindy Kaling's jaw-dropping Bustle profile—because the real story isn't what she said, it's what those framed photos on her desk are telling us. Three photos of her kids, plus one strategic selfie with BJ Novak. Plus, we're breaking down her thoughts on motherhood, her weight loss, and whether she's made peace with her fairytale not looking like the rom-coms she grew up obsessing over. Here is Mindy's profile
