- Lively v. Baldoni: Is $8M the Real Verdict?Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settled in May, then kept fighting over an $8,035,040.88 legal bill. Becca and Miles treat the fee motion as the shadow trial that decides who actually won.

- Armie Hammer: Who Decides When You're Forgiven?Five years after cannibalism texts and sexual assault allegations ended his career, Armie Hammer is back with two new films, a podcast, and a Hollywood Reporter profile where he compares his cancellation to being crucified.

- 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.
