Quentin vs. Paul Dano, Somali Fraud In Minnesota Rages On, & 2026 Chaos Check-In

Meghan and Miranda soldier on — decorations half-up, vibes fully chaotic — as they round out a wild week in politics and pop culture. They kick off with Quentin Tarantino’s very weird (and very personal?) attack on Paul Dano, run through Tarantino’s surprise Top Films of the 21st Century list, and then hit the hard stuff: the explosive Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota, Governor Tim Walz’s growing problems, and why both hosts think this could reshape 2026.

Ben Ferguson jumps in to break down Tennessee’s special election, what the numbers really mean for the midterms, and how Nashville voters are signaling a shift. Then political commentator Mo Kelly joins for a raw conversation on rising “woke-right” extremism, Kash Patel’s messy leadership at the FBI, and why 2026 is too chaotic too predict, but impossible to ignore.

Plus: movie bombs of 2025, the kids-movie takeover at the box office, what everyone’s watching this weekend, why cozy sheets matter (seriously), and Meghan + Miranda’s weekly *Douchebag & Darling* segment featuring Tim Walz truthers and unsolicited tree-shamers.

It’s politics, pop culture, holiday chaos, and absolutely zero tolerance for conspiracy weirdos... just another week on Citizen McCain.
