Tom & Lorenzo’s Pop Style Opinionfest

A Pre-Fall Pod-Pourri

T & Lo cycle through a range of topics, from what it's like to have a tweet go viral, to what we all need to do to make social media better, to the recent outrage surrounding Lara Spencer's comments about Prince George to the sad news that Kirsten Dunst feels ignored by Hollywood. They're fired up and ready to rant! 

Dancing Queens

T & Lo talk a bit about the upcoming "On Becoming a God in Central Florida," a little bit about season 3 of "GLOW" and a LOT about how excited they are for the "RuPaul's Drag Race U.K." Then they dive into the controversy surrounding "Dancing with the Stars" casting of Sean Spicer and how badly Karamo Brown handled it.

Bringing Fall Trends to the Floor

T Lo talk about ball culture and how it's been normalized and mainstreamed, thanks to Pose and A Black Lady Sketch Show. After that, it's a deep dive on all the fall fashion trends and how you can make them work for you as well as which ones you can safely ignore. 

Putting Cancel Culture on Hold

T & Lo talk about online outrages and how they intersect with culture, politics, and activism, from the Equinox and Chick-Fil-A boycotts to New York Fashion Week being put on notice by the Resistance; from #MeToo and #OscarsSoWhite to counting the words in Tarantino scripts, online cancel culture can lead to change, but it can also be just a way for folks to vent their anger without doing anything further. PLUS: Lo's TV Talk! 

Things Get Mighty Queer Around Here

T Lo taste the rainbow as they talk about a range of queer topics, from Laverne Cox on the cover of British Vogue to the '50s gay wedding photos that went viral this month to the history and importance of the LGBTQ term to their VIP treatment at Katya's latest show.

High Drama at High Summer

T & Lo get into a little mid-summer TV talk as they run down all the reasons why the second season of "Big Little Lies" fizzled out and why the HBO series "Years and Years" is worth your time - but only if you can handle the stress of it. Then, Tom nerds completely out at the casting news surrounding "Star Trek: Picard" and the very exciting things it represents for the series.

Getting Catty with the "Cats" Trailer

T & Lo fire up the YouTube and go to town on the trailer for "Cats." PLUS: T Lo's thoughts on the Emmy nominations! 

Duchesses and DadBods

T & Lo review the "Never Knew Love Like This Before" episode of "POSE" and why it needs to be taken on its own merits given the history of violence against transgender women. They also dive into all the ridiculous scandal-mongering surrounding Meghan Markle and the underlying racist and nationalist agendas that sometimes fuel it. PLUS: everyone needs to calm down about Jason Momoa's dadbod!

Losing the Plot

T Lo review "Big Little Lies" and "Pose," placing both shows in an entertainment trend that values factors other than storytelling or plot and examine why this sort of thing is happening now, what drives this change in entertainment, and how it can be seen playing out in everything from "Always be My Maybe" to "Ocean's 8." 

Pride & Penises

T Lo have themselves a big ol' PRIDE discussion! Topics: How Pride parades have changed from white-male-centered events to far broader and more inclusive ones, how Taylor Swift's "You Need to Calm Down" fails and how folks need to just let Tay be Tay, and why allyship and corporate outreach are such huge topics surrounding all Pride discussions this year. Then, it's off to the penises, as Lorenzo reviews the new HBO series "Euphoria" which leads to a discussion about our culture's embarrassing reactions to male nudity.
