'The Studio' Sweeps, 'The Pitt' Prevails, & Cardi Brings the Drama

This week on The Spin Cycle, Kiara dives into the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards: why the nominations felt formulaic, how The Pit upset Severance, and the historical firsts that shook up the night. She also covers Nate Bargatze’s flat hosting performance and why award shows still managed to draw record viewership.

Then, it’s on to music: Cardi B’s long-awaited sophomore album Am I The Drama? (with a wild feature list including Janet Jackson) and Doja Cat’s Vie, produced by Jack Antonoff and Y2K. Kiara breaks down how both women are setting new standards for visuals, stagecraft, and fan connection, cementing 2025 as another year where pop spectacle drives culture.
