Lukas Gage is everywhere. He’s in everything! White Lotus, Euphoria, Smile 2, Love, Victor, Fargo, the film of the year, Companion… and now he has a memoir out, I Wrote This for Attention, which, as you might imagine is a page turner. The San Diego-born actor only turned 30 this year, but he’s definitely lived a life so far. In the book (and on the couch) he covers his tumultuous upbringing, rebellion, drugs, rehab wilderness camp, and sadly abuse, plus his first decade in Hollywood, hustling hard and dealing with Borderline Personality Disorder, with the same candor and humor he comes to the studio with. If you’re looking for Chris Appleton, Kim Kardashian-officiated marriage tea, it’s mentioned briefly in the book, and we chat about it a bit here, but it’s really the least interesting part of his life and career. He also discusses getting his a$$ eaten on White Lotus, STDs, trust and abandonment issues, how he deals with BPD, getting accused of queerbaiting, mukbangs, Sam Levinson, eccentric older ladies, Noah Centineo, that viral video, and so much more.

Long Island-born Julia Wolf has been dropping intimate confessionals since 2019, making waves in 2021 with catchy, synthy-pop cuts like ‘Resting Bitch Face Pt. 2’ and ‘Falling In Love,’ before signing to a major label and dropping her debut full length Girls In Purgatory that same year. In 2025 she surprised everyone by dropping her third album, PRESSURE, via AWAL. Not only was she back on her DIY hustle — she’s often produced her artwork and creative direction from her bedroom base — but Julia Wolf 2.0, with the help of producer Scro, has pivoted away from her smooth pop grooves to a tougher sound, incorporating distorted riffs, pummelling speed metal drums, and glitchy beats, with Wolf’s voice as the emotive, vulnerable glue. Think Paramore meets Evanescence. And yes there were plenty of industry naysayers who were like, what the hell is this new sound? But she stuck to her guns and just look at her go.She joins us on the couch to discuss this stylistic pivot and the wild whiplash of the past few years including the viral success of ‘In My Room’ blowing up on TikTok with a Twilight slideshow, exactly how Drake became a fan and collaborator, teaming up with Machine Gun Kelly on a Goo Goo Dolls cover and their upcoming arena tour. Plus we get into her abiding Twilight obsession (she played the Swan house in Oregon), deep-seated insecurities (‘Jennifer’s Body’ and what MKG thinks of a track that references his baby momma’s cult film), finding love, ASMR, feeling like a loser in high school, her Italian roots, leaving the East Coast for LA, and so much more.

Tis the season! Well not exactly, but it’s always that season for Pentatonix, the jaw-dropping a cappella crew who spend around 11 months of the year thinking about the next holiday season. And this one incoming will bring you a new album — Christmas In the City — and a tour. They stopped in to discuss their reality TV origin story, getting dropped, virality, when’s that evolution of Taylor Swift dropping, cellist/beatboxer Kevin Olusola’s life-changing time in China (his fluency in Mandarin is a delight to behold), and of course they serve up a little singing number. Plus they chat onstage fuck-ups, delusional optimism, taking risk, queer Christmas movies, Joni, Mariah, and more.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead has, so far, had a wildly diverse career, but there is one genre that continues to crop up again and again — horror/thrillers are definitely in the 40-year-old’s sweetspot. From her early days on witchy soap Passions to Wolf Lake to Final Destination 3 to 10 Cloverfield Lane to Black Christmas, Winstead loves the rush of being creeped out and freaked out. The North Carolina-born actor joins us on the couch to discuss her filmography, in particular her latest work, a remake of the 1992 classic The Hand The Rocks The Cradle, this time co-starring next gen scream queen Maika Monroe (It Follows, Longlegs), directed by Mexican filmmaker Michelle Garza in her first major studio motion picture. It’s domestic horror at its most intimate — channeling the fears and anxieties of new motherhood, while weaving in privilege guilt, and a haunting moral ambiguity. Which, as you might imagine for a new mother herself — Winstead has a son with husband Ewan McGregor — was not hard to identify with and tap into. We discuss all this plus action films, the cult of Ramona Flowers and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, working with Bruce Willis as his daughter in two Die Hard movies, her critically acclaimed turn as an alcoholic groping towards sobriety in indie film Smashed, not to mention meeting Ewan on the set of Fargo the TV series, both of them working in the Star Wars universe, and her early years as an extrovert-turned-introvert finding an outlet in performance.

Actor Madeleine McGraw joins us on the couch for the first time to discuss her return as Gwen — Finney’s protective younger sister from 2021’s Black Phone — now back for Black Phone 2. Ethan Hawke’s horrifying character, The Grabber, might have died in the first film, but he’s back too. Turns out his malevolent force can’t be contained by the grave. Originally based on a short story by Joe Hill — horror maestro Stephen King’s son — this sequel finds the siblings several years on from the first installment, now in a wild winter at a kid’s camp. This is a spoiler free episode. We also talk about the 16-year-old’s beginnings (lots of competitive sport), being a twin, moving into exec producing as well as acting, alongside her younger sister Violet (The Haunting of Hill House, M3GAN). Together they’re sometimes dubbed scream queens or the Blumhouse sisters (a nod to the horror production powerhouse). But hey, this December they’re producing and starring in a Christmas movie. Plus we talk Maddox Batson, voicing Bonnie in ‘Toy Story 4,’ Disney’s Secret of Sulphur Springs, and so much more. Her enthusiasm is infectious.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We’re joined by Ashnikko IRL for the first time ever — prior to this it was a pandemic zoom — and she’s a trip, a delight. Decked out in all her finery, the 29-year-old discusses her latest album Smoochies, easily her best work to date. It’s smart, sassy, sexy, give no-f**ks pop, full of wild wordplay, vivid imagery, and hooks to high heaven. But for all its in your face-ness, Ashnikko’s the absolute master of sneaking vulnerability and realness into her party-pop juggernauts. We talk about all this, the connection to her last record DEMIDEVIL, how the body keeps the score, breakups and heartbreak hedonism, power dynamics within her own heterosexual and queer relationships, the moreish aspect of success, and the connection between her music and her carefully constructed visual aesthetic. We also discuss reclaiming sexual depravity from the patriarchy (obviously), the vibes of trinkets and junk, the birth of Ashnikko, f**k-me outfits, sword-making, how she sleeps with her eyes open, killing off a validation system that isn’t helpful (YES!), and so much more. You don’t want to miss this one. Or this album!

We welcome Maggie Lindemann back to the couch for the umpteenth time to discuss her finest body of work yet: i feel everything; a title which just happens to be tattooed on her forearm. By all accounts it’s been a tumultuous couple of years and a wild summer of fun, and she’s poured all her experiences into this cathartic second record, out on her own label Swixxzaudio. This time round she's mining 80s darkwave and collaborating with Max Fry, The Warning, and Julia Wolf. We discuss all this plus dive deep into the lyrics of her hyper-vulnerable, searingly honest songs (‘Spine,’ ‘Evil,’ ‘2022’). We find out the latest with her clothing line SWIXXZ, her recent horror movie picks, and how watching the film VHS opened a portal to let a poltergeist into her apartment.

Nine years after Khalid joined us on the couch for the first time and he’s back with his new fourth album, After the Sun Goes Down, a hefty record (17 tracks!) that joyful, sexy, and explorative. Hot off the heels of his 2024 record Sincere, it was at the end of that year that Khalid was publicly outed online, thanks to a years-old ex who, in the 27-year-old’s own words, weaponized Khalid’s against him. The singer discusses all this — while he was out with his community, why his personal life wasn’t for public consumption and how his experiences found their way into this new body of work, from the music to the visuals — imbuing his music with a new sense of liberation and joy. t’s unleashed what might be his strongest work yet — songs steeped in hook-ups and hedonism, but threaded with real vulnerability. In our conversation, we revisit his landmark debut American Teen, his collaborations with Billie Eilish and Finneas, Marshmello, and the life-saving anthem ‘1-800-273-8255’ with Logic and Alessia Cara. He also shares candid thoughts on where male pop stands today… and where he fits in.Stream 'After The Sun Goes Down' ►►https://tinyurl.com/mrx8fhvsSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

LANY join us on the couch for the first time to discuss their sixth album Soft, a collection which reckons with the big stuff that comes along with being in your late 30s. What does acting one’s age really mean? How do you balance the passion for music and your career, and your personal life and family? How do you stay vulnerable and in touch with your emotions — yes, soft — in a world that can harden you? And, what happens when you stare death in the face, as singer Paul Klein did last year when he got in a Vespa accident riding home from the gym. We dig into this with Paul and Jake Goss, plus touring with John Mayer, being in love (Paul’s girlfriend is called Destiny and there is a song on here called… ‘Destiny’), Jake’s breaking point in the band, and exactly how Paul wound up playing piano in retirement homes.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

David Henrie — best known as Justin Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place — joins us on the couch for the first time to talk all things Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2. The new series reunites Henrie and Selena Gomez as adult versions of their beloved characters, while introducing a whole next-gen cast of young wizards.Gomez pops in for a few episodes each season — and yes, David teases what’s up with her in Season 2 — but she’s also been instrumental behind the scenes, helping bring the reboot to life from casting to marketing. We dive into their real-life friendship, how the revival came together, and what it’s like for Henrie — now a dad himself — to revisit the world that shaped his transition from teens to twenties. (Fun fact: he even wrote an episode back in the day.)David opens up about navigating fame so young, avoiding the pitfalls so many child stars face, and how he thinks the industry can do better. Now 36, he’s also carving out a strong directing career with projects like the coming-of-age film This Is the Year and the horror-comedy Monster Summer, starring Oscar-winner Mel Gibson.We get into all of it — sitcoms, laugh tracks, Jake T. Austin, and the lost art of the multicam — plus so much more.
