"Crazy Rich Asians" and Mainstreaming Diversity

PLUS: A gushing review of "Crazy Rich Asians" and a celebration of what this moment means for diverse representation going forward.

Listener Mailbag Extravaganza!

T Lo dive into their mailbag to answer YOUR questions on topics such as why clothes fit badly on the red carpet, why everyone starts wearing the same shoes at the same time, what we think of the news of Carrie Fisher posthumously appearing in the next Star Wars film, what makes good style and what makes for a fashion rut, whether the DC movies are copying the Marvel movies, and of course, what we think of Paul Manafort's seriously hideous taste in over-priced fashion. 

Gunning for Twitter

T & Lo go deep on the recent brouhaha surrounding "Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn, who got fired for some decade-old tweets of seriously questionable taste and value, tying it back to the Roseanne kerfuffle of a few months back, and wrapping it up by bringing the #planebae story into the mix. It's T Lo's Safety Tips for Twitterers! PLUS: A review of the season finale of "POSE" which ended beautifully.

Deep Dives and Director's Cuts

T Lo dive a little deeper on some of the blog topics this week, from the ESPY Awards and why sports stars make such good red carpet models, to the new promo images for "The Crown," to their Comic-Con coverage to why they don't want to see the "Mamma Mia" sequel. PLUS: Overwrought royal fashion coverage, the unfortunate She-Ra redesign, the fabulous ladies of "POSE" and the evocative costumes of "Sharp Objects." 

A Summer Pod-Pourri!

T & Lo run down a whole range of pop/style topics, from Meghan Markle's timid style choices to Tab Hunter's passing to Henry Cavill sticking his foot in his mouth to "POSE" and its reliance on dreariness instead of embracing beauty to the announcement of the Downton Abbey movie to their disappointment with the Emmy nominations and who got snubbed. 

Butterfly Massacre!

T Lo recap the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race season 10, from dead butterflies to bathmat costumes to the curiously emotionless crowning. PLUS: They reflect on all the ways the show has changed in its ten year history, as two people who have been documenting it every step of the way from the beginning. From dirty little cable drag revue to worldwide phenomenon, and all the ways that's been both bad and good for the show.

High Fashion, High Drag, High Stress

T & Lo go off on Melania's Trump trolling fashion, putting it in context and waving away any attempts to misinterpret it. After that, it's another review of FX's "POSE," both the good and the bad parts. And finally, they take RuPaul to task for badly mismanaging the Drag Race reunion. 

Stand, Pose, and Deliver

T & Lo talk about their latest TV obsessions, like Riverdale, Cloak and Dagger, and Grand Hotel. Then it's another deep dive into the world of Ryan Murphy's "POSE" and how it highlights and seeks to correct some of the darkness of LGBT history. And finally, a rapturous review of the latest "RuPaul's Drag Race," which showed the world why it earns the Emmys it wins. 

Doing it Saboteur Style

T Lo pay tribute to the legacy of Kate Spade, celebrate the 20th anniversary of "Sex and the City" with a look back at how it revolutionized television, and savagely recap the "Inner Saboteur" episode of "RuPaul's Drag Race"

Politics, Social Change, and Disappointing Celebrities

T Lo have a rousing back-and-forth on some of their current TV obsessions, like "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," "Patrick Melrose," "Fauda," and "Wynonna Earp." Then they're off and running on all the celebrity political and social scandals, from the disastrous "Arrested Development" interview in the NYT to Roseanne's career implosion to Kim Kardashian in the Oval Ofiice to Samantha Bee firing EVERYONE up. Their takeaway: Celebrities are bound to disappoint you.
