About this episode

The episode discusses Zendaya's rise as a prominent movie star and her upcoming projects.

In an age of handwringing about the lack of "real movie stars," Zendaya has entered the chat in style. The multi-hyphenate star is having a packed 2026, with the already-released Euphoria and The Drama — not to mention her high-profile collab with stylist Law Roach and sportswear brand On — and three of the year's most-anticipated blockbusters ( Spider-Man: Brand New Day , The Odyssey , and Dune: Part Three ). And we're still excited to see her every time, both on screen and on the red carpet. So what makes Zendaya such a star of the moment? Rebecca and John are joined by Staff Writer Chris Murphy and Style Correspondent José Criales-Unzueta to get into it. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
