637: Netflix Power Grab and Tarantino Commentary Controversy

In this episode, we recap this week in pop culture news. Join us as unpack Quentin Tarantino’s podcast appearance and the fallout from his extra-spicy commentary and dig into Netflix’s bold attempt to buy Warner Bros. Plus, we weigh in on the new Mother Mary trailer and ask the only question that really matters: is dark-and-twisty Anne Hathaway actually peak Anne Hathaway?
