- Weinstein Trial Four: When Does Justice Become Theater?Harvey Weinstein's third New York rape trial ended in a mistrial on May 15, 2026, with nine jurors leaning toward acquittal. Becca and Miles break down the full legal arc from the 2020 conviction to two deadlocked juries and ask what it means for #MeToo when the system keeps running the same play.
- Diddy's Appeal: The Jury Said One Thing, the Judge Said AnotherSean Combs won on the big charges, lost on two, and got sentenced like he lost everything. Becca and Miles break down the Second Circuit appeal, the acquitted conduct doctrine, the Netflix documentary his rival 50 Cent built, and what a possible resentencing would actually mean.
- Cannes on Trial: Glamour, Power, and the ReckoningBecca and Miles use the 79th Cannes Film Festival as a lens to examine how the world's most prestigious film festival has long functioned as both a stage for cinematic legitimacy and a shelter for industry power, tracing controversies from Heelgate and the Netflix wars to the Gaza protest letter and the men Cannes kept celebrating anyway.
- Blake Lively vs. Baldoni: Who Actually Won?Hours before walking the 2026 Met Gala carpet, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settled one of the most culturally charged celebrity lawsuits in years.

- Lizzo on Trial: Body Positivity or Toxic Boss?Three backup dancers sued Lizzo in 2023 for sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. Now in 2026, she's publicly refusing to settle and ready to testify. Becca and Miles trace the full arc of the case and ask whether the 'good celebrity' brand protects you or just makes the fall harder.
- Michael Jackson Biopic: Who Really Wrote This Story?A 1993 settlement just rewrote a $200 million Hollywood film. Becca and Miles dig into how the Jackson estate, a decades-old NDA, and Lionsgate money conspired to sanitize history — and what the 38% critic score versus 97% audience score tells us about who controls the story.
- Blake Lively vs. Baldoni: Who Actually Won?The case that split the internet for 18 months ended not with a verdict but with a settlement — announced the same morning Blake Lively walked the Met Gala red carpet. Becca and Miles break down the full story: the harassment allegations, the smear machine, the legal collapse, and what a quiet settlement says louder than any jury ever could.
