January hit hard: LA burned, Mark Zuckerberg ended fact-checking on Meta, President Donald Trump was sworn in again, Elon kept Musking, and ... it’s awards season!

If all of this is making you feel — destabilised — you’re not alone. It’s time to check the vibe on 2025. Screen critic and pop culture reporter Jared Richards is in to help Bev overthink how what’s happening out in the world is affecting our social media and pop culture habits. Is there an ethical way to reach for escapism?

Bev and Jared also pick through the Oscar nominees for Best Picture and have a lot to say about Emilia Perez and The Substance!

And: Bev has a special announcement about Stop Everything! Listen to the end of the episode to find out what it is.
