The Super Bowl takes center stage this week as the Intelligentsia crew breaks down the biggest night in football and pop culture — from football basics to iconic halftime shows and unforgettable commercials. Tara and Joey lean on Ryan’s Straight Guy Perspective to unpack Super Bowl history, key players to watch, and game predictions. They also dive into Super Bowl parties and food, billion-dollar host city impact, and the rise of sports betting culture. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for the halftime show and commercials, this episode gets you game-day ready.

We're baaaack! That's right, we have been renewed for season 2! After a short break, the Intelligentsia crew is back in your ears weekly, and we're starting with a BANG: music we consider canon (get it?) Joey, Tara, and Ryan debate what makes an album legendary, break down the Rolling Stone Top 500, and share hot takes on classics like Rumours, Jagged Little Pill and more — plus spicy opinions on what is happening with music today. From millennial pop and Woodstock icons to divas, TikTok music, and Spotify Wrapped, we're covering it all - or at least as much as our attention spans can handle.

Bonus Episode Alert! Apparently the end of the year is a time for reflection, so in this bonus ep, the Intelligentsia crew is reflecting on Variety's Best Comedy Movies of All Time. From Bridesmaids and Legally Blonde to Mrs. Doubtfire, When Harry Met Sally, Annie Hall, and more, we swap first-watch takeaways, debate hits vs. misses, weigh-in on some shocking omissions, and pick the next movie each of us is finally committing to watching, so we can do Intelligentsia proud and all be better educated movie-viewers in 2026.
