Welcome back and welcome to the rebrand! Formerly “Confessionals and Congressionals,” your favorite pop culture pod is now officially Overanalyzing Everything. In our premiere under the new name, we go full pop culture psychoanalysis, starting with a binge-fueled deep dive into Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and unraveling the tangled web of influencer drama, alleged SA claims, and reality TV meta-chaos.

Then it’s on to the much-anticipated Part 1 of the Taylor Swift: Eras Tour docuseries on Disney+. We break down Taylor's visionary leadership, her ability to curate collective emotional experiences, and her love story with Travis Kelce (we’re so glad they think they’re funny). We also touch on why Taylor’s ethos of sentimentality, support for her team, and her insistence on joy feel like radical acts in today's polarized world.

Also on deck:

• Lauren is still suspicious of Blake Lively and Cassie may be seeing the light.

• Complex PTSD and emotional flashbacks in music

• Florence Welch and Ed Sheeran giving us goosebumps

• Being "too sentimental" and why that might be your superpower

• The patriarchy, performance, and permission to be too much

Let’s overanalyze everything - just the way Mother would want us to.

In this video, I break down the first half of Wayfarer Studios' motion for summary judgment in the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni legal battle. We're diving into the actual evidence from depositions and discovery that Wayfarer is using to defend against Lively's claims.

This motion reveals what witnesses testified under oath, what documents were uncovered during discovery, and how Baldoni's legal team is building their defense. I'll walk you through the key findings, explain what a motion for summary judgment means, and analyze the strength of the evidence presented.

Whether you've been following this case from the beginning or you're just catching up, this breakdown will help you understand what's really happening behind the headlines.

⚖️ This video is for educational and commentary purposes only. All allegations are claims made in legal filings and have not been proven in court.

This week on Confessionals & Congressionals, we're breaking down The Challenge: Season 41, Episode 12 — and we’re just gonna say it: we don't know what’s going on. We still don’t know why Theo and Turbo are beefing. But that didn’t stop them from screaming at each other before and after the worst elimination design of the season 🙃.

We talk through Dee's Turbo crush, Derek's inability to win a pillow fight, and the producers' bizarre commitment to editing out anything that would explain the plot. Also on deck: makeup critiques, psychic predictions, and Lauren’s Chick-fil-A drive-thru trauma and Cassie’s Mommy Meltdown.

📌 In This Episode:

• Turbo vs. Theo: Enemieship with no origin story

• Challenge recap: The Running Man, stick shifts, and beige chaos

• Dee’s questionable taste and Adrienne’s confessional glam disaster

• Michaela vs. Olivia, minus context (thanks, editors!)

• The most pathetic elimination in years

• Producer slander, makeup tips, and the mental load of motherhood

🔥 Thirst Trap: The Fame. The Fantasy. The Fallout — TikTok star William White goes viral lip-syncing Barry Manilow, sparking obsessive fan groups (the infamous Grotto Girls), messy hookups with fans like DisneyMama, and a web of jealousy, blackmail, and emotional fallout.
