About this episode

Brett Collins discusses various upsetting topics including the passing of a child star, reviews of new films, and celebrity controversies.

STORMAGANZA AHEAD!!! This week I talk about a lot of upsetting things, but my snarky attitude makes them palatable (I think?). Sadly, we have to pour one out for another child star gone too soon. Daveigh Chase, the beloved actress who scared the shit out of us in The Ring (2002) has passed away. I can't take all this heartbreak! Thankfully, to lighten things up, I discuss the new outrageous comedy film, Stop! That! Train! (2026), and let you all know that Delta Work is WRONG and this movie is amazing. Next up, I discuss why the latest Scary Movie (2026) installment is a bit disappointing. A damn shame! After that, I get into the most hair-raising documentary called Maternal Instinct (2026) that is all about a psychotic southern belle who lies incessantly and committed fetal abduction. She also shops at Torrid! After that, I touch on Gwyneth Paltrow's brutal faux pas and why she has earned the new nickname "Gwynocide". Lastly, I bring up the viral resurfacing of Tyra Banks' book, Modelland. Tyra will never let anyone tell her there's something she can't do! Listen now <3
