“The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On” is less of a reality dating show, and more of a cautionary tale for straight people. A messy, unhinged, gripping one. In this episode, we talk about the whole season of “The Ultimatum,” some of the gossip that has come out about the cast since, and the reunion.

This week, we discuss two of the great homemaking influencers: Ballerina Farm (an unassuming tradwife Instagram icon), and Martha Stewart (a ruthless perfectionist and corporate mogul). In the midst of their recent moments in the cultural conversation — thanks to some high-profil…

Lindsay Lohan isn’t just a zany rom-com leading lady! She’s a (semi) serious rom-com leading lady.

After “Falling for Christmas” (extremely unhinged) and “Irish Wish” (extremely AI-generated), Lohan apparently wanted to work on a film that was slightly more grounded. Enter “Our Little Secret.”

“Our Little Secret” follows exes Avery (…

We imagine the pitch for “Hot Frosty” was simple: Olaf from “Frozen,” but he f***s. This Netflix holiday rom-com is here to remind us that Christmas may take place during the cold season, but it can still be *hot*.

“Hot Frosty” follows widow-slash-diner owner Kathy (Lacey Chabert) as she accidentally brings a notably chisele…

We don’t have any answers, but we do have a lot of feelings. We tried to express them in a cogent way, but full warning that we maybe were only partially successful. Claire would also like all of you to know that she’s angry and doing punditry. Please feel free to ignore her (or both of us!) if that’s not where you’re at right now. We love you all. We are so very grateful for this little community we’ve built together. Onward.

Thank you to Harry Huggins for editing this episode so we didn’t have to.

Warning: This post and episode contain spoilers for the “Love Is Blind” season 7 reunion!

This “Love Is Blind” DC reunion had it all, if “it all” refers to every one of Nick and Vanessa Lachey’s well-documented inadequacies as hosts: corny dad jokes that Nick’s punch-up writer clearly prepared well in advance, missed lines of questioning and failures to follow up on important points, muddled back-and-forth disputes between the cast that dragged out for long minutes while the moderators mentally checked out, Vanessa claiming dubious familial relationships with the “Love Is Blind” babies, and, of course, a couple of the biggest villains of the season being let off the hook with barely a slap on the wrist apiece.

Warning: This post and episode contain spoilers for the “Love Is Blind” season 7 finale!

The first 15 minutes of the “Love Is Blind” season 7 finale was riveting and wrenching. The following hour was largely boring, with sides of sweetness and dramatic irony. This is one of those finales that should have jumped straight into a reunion. (Not that we think…

The psychologist John Gottman has posited that there are four horsemen that portended doom in a relationship: contempt, criticism, defensiveness and stonewalling. If this theory didn’t already exist, it could have been developed simply by watching this season of “Love Is Blind,” in which contempt and criticism have infected several of the relationships root and branch.
