Pop Culture Digest & Parks and Recreation Special

05/03/20 • 36 min

Another pop culture episode is here! This time, Maya and Luke begin with the big news of the week: Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik are having a child! They review their rocky relationship history, touch on Anderson Cooper's own baby announcement, and then give an update on the potential One Direction reunion. Then they pivot to Bachelor news, including speculation on Tyler C. and Hannah's will-they-or-won't-they situation and the official dating announcement from Pilot Pete and Kelley. Finally, they move on to the Parks & Recreation quarantine special and a debate on whether this formula should extend to other shows.

Previous Episode

Chapter Five: Heart of Darkness

Maya and Luke are back again with more Riverdale content, this time covering S01:E05 of this teen-drama. They discuss the show's first look at it's darker side—something that they both can appreciate. They get into the mysteries of Thornhill, hard-core music teachers, the murder investigation that is now solely run by teenagers, and new sympathy for Cheryl. The episode is stuffed with blood-feuds, snake-shaped warning signs, and temptations of infidelity, so there's a lot to cover and a lot of opinions to be had.

Next Episode

Chapter Six: Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill!

Join the hosts as they dive into S01:E06, where the Pussycats truly get their moment to shine. This episode is packed with Riverdale's prestigous Variety Show and an original song by Archie Andrews, signature forgery from not-so-anonymous buyers, a shady home for troubled youth, and the introduction of *multiple* forbidden relationships. Oh, and of course there's a dose of overbearing parents, because it couldn't be a Riverdale episode without it.
