The X-Men Casting Choices Nobody Saw Coming
The MCU’s X-Men are finally taking shape, and Marvel definitely isn’t playing it safe. This week, I’m breaking down the newly revealed cast, from the choices I’m already completely sold on to the ones that have me excited, confused and slightly nervous. I get into the decision to build the team around a younger generation of actors, the very divisive Rogue casting, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, and whether taking this many risks could actually be exactly what the X-Men need. Plus, I talk about some of the other reveals coming out of D23 before wrapping things up with this week’s Songs of the Week and a few new additions to my August playlist. 🛒 Yarok Plant-Based Beauty - Vegan Hair Care 💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLET https://promocode.to/yarok-plant-based-beauty/oversharepamphlet-j4k You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets
The MCU’s X-Men Are Finally Taking Shape
The MCU’s X-Men are starting to take shape, and ahead of D23, I’m breaking down everything we know — and everything we’re still wildly speculating about. From Sadie Sink as Jean Grey and Samara Weaving as Emma Frost to Kit Connor taking on Cyclops, I’m getting into the casting, the younger direction for the team, and why this new generation of mutants could be exactly what Marvel needs. Plus, I dive into the rumours surrounding Storm, Rogue, Beast, Wolverine and a possible Mr. Sinister, before wrapping things up with this week’s Songs of the Week.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review — The Fresh Start Peter Parker Needed?
This week, I share my full review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, breaking down how the film handles Peter Parker’s life after No Way Home, its characters and villains, the emotional direction of the story, the new suit, practical stunt work, action sequences and web-slinging. I also discuss what worked, what didn’t and whether this new chapter gives Tom Holland’s Spider-Man the fresh start he needed—before finishing with my Songs of the Week.

Revisiting TTPD: Why Taylor Swift’s Most Misunderstood Album Is Aging Beautifully
Two years after The Tortured Poets Department dropped, I’m revisiting the album and arguing that it was one of the most misunderstood releases of Taylor Swift’s career. We unpack the chaos surrounding its release, the themes of fame and heartbreak, and why songs like But Daddy I Love Him, Down Bad, and How Did It End? hit differently now than they did in 2024. Plus this week’s Songs of the Week and a quick sponsor shoutout to Yarok Plant-Based Beauty.

Taylor Swift's Wedding Finally Happened + Love Island USA Gets Messy
This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, we're catching up on everything happening in pop culture—from the internet's obsession with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding to my first thoughts on Madonna's new album, Confessions 2.

Tradwives, Social Media & Satire: Let's Talk 'Yesteryear' by Caro Claire Burke
This week I'm diving into one of the most talked-about—and divisive—book releases of the year: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. I break down the story (spoilers included!), unpack the book's biggest themes around tradwife culture, feminism, social media, and satire, and explain why I'm still so conflicted about whether it fully succeeds. It's a fascinating read that sparked a brilliant discussion in my book club, and I'm curious to hear where you land too. As always, I wrap things up with my Songs of the Week, featuring new music from Ryan Beatty, Gracie Abrams, and the long-awaited return of Carly Rae Jepsen. Grab a coffee, get comfortable, and let's get into it.

Toy Story 5 Is Pixar's Best Sequel in Years
This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, I'm talking about one of the biggest movie surprises of the year: Toy Story 5. As someone who grew up with the franchise, I went into this sequel with a mix of excitement and skepticism—but Pixar managed to win me over completely. From the emotional storytelling to its stunning animation, this feels like a genuine return to form for one of cinema's most beloved franchises. We dive into the film's surprisingly thoughtful exploration of technology, screen time, and childhood imagination. I discuss why Jessie emerges as the movie's emotional center, how the story tackles the growing role of devices in children's lives, and why its message about balancing technology with real-world connection feels incredibly relevant today. For a family film, Toy Story 5 has a lot more on its mind than you might expect.

First Impressions: Olivia Rodrigo’s Third Studio Album
This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, I'm sharing my first impressions of Olivia Rodrigo's highly anticipated third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. We go track by track through the record, discussing its themes of love, insecurity, anxious attachment, and heartbreak, while I break down my favourite lyrics, standout songs, and why I think this might be Olivia's strongest songwriting to date. I also talk about the rollout, visuals, and whether the album delivers the same unforgettable pop moments as SOUR and GUTS. Plus, I share my Songs of the Week, featuring MEOVV, Balu Brigada, Thomas Day, and two highlights from Olivia's new record.
