This week, Sami catches Jordana up on her recent ski trip (she's come a long way from that first attempt). Then, they share their thoughts on SNL's recent 50th Anniversary concert and special - most notably Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's appearance. Was it a strategic ploy to appear strong in the face of their legal battle with Justin Baldoni? And did Ryan give Blake a heads up before doing that joke? Next, Sami and Jordana break down everything wrong with Meghan Markle's renamed lifestyle brand As Ever, and her public image at large. Speaking of public image, Maya Hawke revealed this week that a large Instagram following is becoming a requirement to getting cast in films. What happened to good old fashioned talent? Finally, they wrap with some White Lotus reactions - make sure to check out Sami's recap episodes and Substack every Monday for a deeper dive. Our Betch of the Week is Cher for her incredible performance at the SNL 50 concert, and Ryan Reynolds can sit next to Jordana on her upcoming flight to the Caymans so he can explain the thought process behind his behavior.
