Bianca and Julian are back for their 18th episode (yes, the pod can now legally vote in the Canadian federal election), and they’re diving deep into Mayhem, the genre-bending comeback album from everyone's favourite Italian girl from New York: Lady Gaga.

In this episode, they unpack how Gaga reinvents her signature sound without losing her pop powerhouse edge. Is Mayhem a bold evolution - or just Gaga reheating her own nachos? And what exactly do the Gaga and Pink Floyd discographies have in common?

Bianca and Julian also pit Gaga’s latest against Katy Perry’s recent “comeback,” question whether Die With a Smile should be on the album, and chat about the Mayhem Ball ticket controversy.

Also on the menu: Djo’s The Crux, early Last of Us season 2 thoughts, and some book recommendations.

Come for the pop commentary, stay for the niche metaphors and possibly too much talk about nachos.

Spring is in the air and Bianca and Julian are back with another nostalgia-fueled episode! This time, they’re diving into the history of one of their favourite artists, the Jonas Brothers - from their early days in New Jersey to Disney stardom, solo careers, and their 2019 reunion.

They talk about their recent experience at the surprise Jonas Brothers show at Toronto’s Massey Hall, and share some truly puzzling stories:

• The mysterious journey of Nick Jonas' Yankees cap
• Julian’s obsession with their Gibson recording tour bus
• How Bianca came to acquire a life-size cardboard cutout of Nick Jonas promoting his diabetes medication
• Julian pretending to be a vlogger to avoid being mocked for going to a JoBros concert

They also discuss the band’s musical impact, misconceptions, and why they deserve more recognition.

And don't miss their take on the Oscars:

• Legacy awards vs. deserved awards
• Anora’s sweep
• Kieran Culkin's and Adrien Brody’s acceptance speeches

Tune in for a fun, nostalgic chat!

In their first episode of 2025, Bianca and Julian provide a full recap of the 2025 Grammy Awards - and let’s just say, it’s Anything But Boring! They dive deep into everything from the red carpet to the show itself, discussing the biggest winners and losers, their favorite performances, and the most shocking moments of the night. Did any of their predictions come true? Was it really a good idea to ask for donations in a room full of billionaires? And how is Drake feeling after Kendrick took home those major wins?

But it’s not just all about the Grammys. Bianca and Julian also chat about some pressing non-music topics: the Southern California wildfires, the Jonas Brothers temporarily calling Toronto home, the looming Canada-US trade war, and the latest music they’re listening to and movies they’ve watched - including masterpieces like “Anora” and hot garbage like “Emila Perez.” Tune in for some hot takes.
