T Lo return to an old classic, director Griffin Dunne's "Practical Magic," and unpack how it helped to establish the tropes of modern romantasy, how its aesthetic can reasonably be said to have created an entire genre of television movies, and how different a film like this would be if it were made today.

T Lo take a look at the rhetoric surrounding Ariana Grande's choice to step out of the public eye and what it says about our culture's need to talk about women's bodies as well as whether celebrities have any responsibility to be honest about their health with their fans. They also tackle the news that the next Met Gala will be celebrating John Galliano and why that's horrifying...

T Lo take a look at director Richard Linklater's loving(?) homage to legendary musical theater lyricist Lorenz Hart, played by Ethan Hawke.
