The besties are BACK with their first episode of 2026 with no shortage of pop culture to discuss! Starting with whether Ashley Tisdale is the toxic friend, Alix Earle’s breakup and New Year’s Eve with Tom Brady, Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes embarrassing Instagram messiness, and Zach Bryan’s marriage. Then it’s time to serve the girls and the gays with a Heated Rivalry deep dive, process the Stranger Things finale, hate-watch Emily in Paris, and manifest January TV as a mental health intervention.

This week, the Besties chat about rewatching Mad Men and why Don Draper is actually the worst, Tim Robinson’s ability to hilariously dunk on white men, and unpack the first two episodes of Taylor Swift’s The End of an Era docuseries and our complicated relationship with Taylor. Emily and Lauren cringe their way through Amy Schumer’s “cool girl” divorce announcement, recap yet another Bravo breakup with Todd and Bronwyn, and catch up on RHOSLC’s Greek Freak Show, and a RHOBH recap, reaffirming one universal truth: in Jennifer Tilly we trust.

The Besties brought several delicious dishes to this week’s Pop Culture Potluck. Emily and Lauren dive into THAT Summer House Season 10 trailer—new cast members, the ongoing diversity issues (aka the “Cloud Dancer” problem), Ciara and West, Kyle and Amanda, and everything in between. We chat about Pantone’s… interesting Color of the Year (yikes), and Sydney Sweeney’s even more interesting non-apology (bigger yikes). Emily also discovers she is, in fact, a horror stan thanks to Weapons snagging a Golden Globe nomination. We ruin award shows for everyone, and unpack Netflix’s wild move to buy Warner Brothers. Lastly, we dish on the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: the triumphant return of millennial queen Rachel Zoe, Mauricio’s embarrassing People + Sears spread, being proud Erika Jayne haters, and all the chaos from our diamond girlies.
