Then the tone shifts as they dig into the complete blow-up of the back half of Love is Blind season 7, celebrate the renewal of Nobody Wants This for a second season, review Crocs for pups, and consider whether scheming Aunt Becky aka Lori Loughlin deserves a career comeback. [23:38]

    In Pop & Gen: Deep Dives, it’s all about ageism in Hollywood — inspired by the rumored actions of a Hallmark exec who seems to think women over 40 are too old to be movie stars. Then, is there trouble between Harry and Meghan? [44:37]

    In On Our Screens, The Jennifer Hudson Show’s Spirit Tunnels are spreading joy on Instagram, and the sisters are obsessed.
