Met Gala Chaos & The Rise of Internet Movie Stars: Connor Storrie, Hudson Williams and more...

About this episode

Rob Scal discusses the Met Gala 2026 and the evolving concept of movie stardom in the age of social media.

After a little break, I’m finally back — and this week I’m diving into the Met Gala 2026, the best (and worst) looks of the night, and why this year’s theme had so much potential but still felt surprisingly safe. I talk about the people who actually understood the assignment — from Emma Chamberlain and Hunter Schafer to Sabrina Carpenter — and why Zendaya’s absence was definitely felt. But the main topic of the episode is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: what actually makes a movie star in 2026? Using Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as examples, I get into how social media, internet culture, fandoms, and “influencer energy” are completely reshaping Hollywood fame. I also touch on Timothée Chalamet, celebrity branding, and why newer actors feel more connected to audiences than traditional stars ever did. Plus, Songs of the Week featuring Holly Humberstone, Naomi Scott, Malcolm Todd, BABYMONSTER, Wet Leg, ILYKimchi, and more. 🛒 Zivolife - Exclusive patented superfood! 💰 Get 30% OFF | Promo Code: OVERSHAREPAMPHLET https://promocode.to/zivolife/oversharepamphlet-67a You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter…
