Entertainment Roundup: Backrooms, Euphoria & God of War Laufey
I'm back after a few weeks of travel, and there's been a lot happening in entertainment while I've been away. In this episode, I'm catching up on some of the biggest stories that have been dominating conversations across film, television, and gaming. I start by discussing the incredible success of Backrooms and Obsession, two low-budget horror films that are completely reshaping expectations at the box office. I talk about why these films are connecting with audiences, what Hollywood can learn from their success, and why original storytelling seems to be winning again. Then I dive into the final season of Euphoria—with full spoilers. From the show's ambitious creative choices to the character storylines that worked (and the ones that didn't), I share my thoughts on the series finale, the evolution of the show's tone, and whether it ultimately delivered on what made Euphoria so compelling in the first place. I also take a look at the newly announced God of War: Laufey and the online reaction surrounding the game's reveal. We get into spin-offs, representation in gaming, fan expectations, and why this project has generated so much discussion before it's even released. Plus, a quick word from this week's sponsor, The Cumin Club, and the return of Songs of the Week featuring Faouzia, Ryan Beatty, King Princess, Noah Kahan, MEOVV, and IZ*ONE. In this episode: • My thoughts on Backrooms and Obsession • Why the box office is showing signs of real recovery • A spoiler-filled review of Euphoria's final season • Reactions to the God of War: Laufey announcement • Gaming discourse, representation, and fan culture • Songs of the Week Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next week.

'Obsession', Box Office Surprises, and the Future of Horror
This week, I’m diving into the unexpected breakout success of Obsession—and why this low-budget horror film is kind of a big deal for the industry. I’m not doing a traditional review here, but looking at the bigger picture: how a $750K movie pulled in major box office numbers, scored rare audience acclaim for a horror, and what that says about where Hollywood might be heading. From layered storytelling and standout performances to the genre’s role as a creative playground, there’s a lot to unpack. I also get into why horror continues to thrive, the rise of new talent, and why this summer could be huge for the genre. Plus: a quick detour into why going to the cinema still hits different—and of course, Songs of the Week to close things out.

Met Gala Chaos & The Rise of Internet Movie Stars: Connor Storrie, Hudson Williams and more...
After a little break, I’m finally back — and this week I’m diving into the Met Gala 2026, the best (and worst) looks of the night, and why this year’s theme had so much potential but still felt surprisingly safe. I talk about the people who actually understood the assignment — from Emma Chamberlain and Hunter Schafer to Sabrina Carpenter — and why Zendaya’s absence was definitely felt. But the main topic of the episode is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: what actually makes a movie star in 2026? Using Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as examples, I get into how social media, internet culture, fandoms, and “influencer energy” are completely reshaping Hollywood fame. I also touch on Timothée Chalamet, celebrity branding, and why newer actors feel more connected to audiences than traditional stars ever did. Plus, Songs of the Week featuring Holly Humberstone, Naomi Scott, Malcolm Todd, BABYMONSTER, Wet Leg, ILYKimchi, and more. 🛒 Zivolife - Exclusive patented superfood! 💰 Get 30% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLET https://promocode.to/zivolife/oversharepamphlet-67a You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

Coachella 2026 Was… A Lot
I’m back this week breaking down all things Coachella—from the performances to the chaos, the cringe, and the moments everyone’s talking about. I get into the headliners (Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G), what worked, what didn’t, and the internet’s reactions—plus standout sets, surprise guests, and all the messy festival discourse that somehow becomes half the experience. Also: Songs of the Week, featuring a few tracks I’ve been obsessed with lately. 🛒 AKILA - Sunglasses, eyewear 💰 Get 10% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLET https://akila.la/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

Euphoria Season 3 Premiere: Has the Show Outgrown Itself?
I’m back after a short break and diving straight into my first impressions of Euphoria Season 3. This episode, I talk about the show’s shift away from its high school roots, the darker (and slightly chaotic) new direction, and whether the characters—and even the cast—have outgrown the series. I get into what’s working, what’s not, and why I’m still tuning in anyway. Plus, I share what I’m hoping to see for the rest of the season. Also: Songs of the Week, featuring Tiffany Day’s Halo and a few tracks I’ve been obsessed with lately 🎶 🛒 Klear Protein - Klear Protein 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLET https://klearprotein.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

I Watched 'Hoppers' and 'Reminders of Him' So You Don’t Have To
It’s Oscars night, so this week we’re staying firmly in the movie world. I break down two very different new releases I watched this week: Pixar’s surprisingly successful animated film Hoppers and the latest Colleen Hoover adaptation Reminders of Him. First, we talk about why Hoppers might signal Pixar finding its momentum again — from its strong box office debut to its environmental themes, its clear Avatar-inspired premise, and where it sits in the wider Pixar catalogue. Then we switch gears into a much messier conversation about Reminders of Him: questionable character decisions, chaotic morality, casting choices, and why the film ultimately feels flatter than the emotional drama it’s trying to be. Plus, I wrap things up with Songs of the Week, featuring new music from Lena, Mitski, Dorian Electra, and more. 🛒 Mantra Matcha: Blends With Benefits - Premium Japanese Matcha 💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLET https://mantramatcha.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

Timothée Chalamet vs Opera, Ballet & The Entire Internet
This week on the podcast, we’re diving into a full-blown movie industry controversy. I break down the backlash surrounding Timothée Chalamet after his comments about opera and ballet during a recent interview sparked a massive online debate — and why this moment might signal a bigger shift in how audiences view modern movie stars. We unpack the broader context: Chalamet’s recent image change, his increasingly internet-driven persona, the pressures of awards season, and what happens when actors start clashing with the audiences that helped build their careers. Is this just another viral scandal, or a genuine turning point for one of Hollywood’s biggest young stars? Plus, we close out the episode with Songs of the Week, featuring new tracks from IVE, Tiffany Day, Wet Leg, and more. 🛒 More Labs - Clinically proven recovery energy drinks 💰 Get 25% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLET https://www.morelabs.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets

The Paramount Power Play, BLACKPINK’s Cultural Grip & Pokémon’s Next Era
This week in pop culture? Absolute chaos. From the $111 BILLION Paramount–Warner Bros. deal (and what it reallymeans for Hollywood, CNN, and the future of theatrical releases) to BLACKPINK casually rewriting the rules of global pop dominance, and Pokémon dropping Gen 10 like it’s nothing — we have a lot to unpack. I’m breaking down the politics behind the studio bidding war, why this merger could permanently split the industry in two, and whether we as consumers should actually be worried. Then we pivot to something far more fun: BLACKPINK proving (again) that they are trendsetters, not trend-chasers, and why Deadline solidifies their chokehold on culture. And finally — Pokémon: Winds & Waves, starters discourse, evolution trauma, and my formal request for a new Eeveelution. It’s media consolidation, K-pop dominance, and gamer chaos all in one episode.
