  • SUMMER LISTENING: A Brutally Honest Review Of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Season 2
    Dec 22 2025

    This summer we are curating your Lowbrow podcast playlist bringing you the insanely popular and always funny - brutally honest reviews from our friends on The Spill. Enjoy!

    This week, we’re diving pom-poms first into Season 2 of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and let’s just say, it’s not all rhinestones and high kicks.

    In our brutally honest review, we break down the fights these women took on behind the scenes, from their long-overdue push for better pay, to the toll of representing one of the most iconic (and controlling) sports brands in the world.

    Yes, there’s been progress, but we’re also talking about the areas where the system still gets it wrong, especially when it comes to diversity, body image, and the pressure to be "perfect."

    We unpack the surprising twists, the darker moments you might not expect, and the very real power dynamics at play, on and off the field.

    Plus, Ksenija shares her insider scoop from the modelling world, drawing some striking (and frankly disturbing) parallels between runway life and the DCC machine: the unattainable beauty standards, the constant critiques, and the pressure to smile through it all.

  • SUMMER LISTENING: A Brutally Honest Review Of Clueless As It Turns 30
    Dec 21 2025

    This summer we are curating your Lowbrow podcast playlist bringing you the insanely popular and always funny - brutally honest reviews from our friends on The Spill. Enjoy!

    Clueless turns 30 this week (yes, thirty) and there was simply no way we weren’t going to mark the occasion. Today’s episode is a brutally honest (and very loving) review of the cult classic that defined a generation.

    We’re diving into everything from how the film came to be, the chaotic casting process, and the real-life stories behind the most iconic scenes and one-liners.

    We also unpack why the film hits so damn hard, reveal the scenes we still quote weekly, and discuss how we genuinely don’t remember life before seeing Clueless. Because honestly, do you know one person who hasn't watched it? So sit back, strap in and get ready for a 90s nostalgia ride.

    You know we love a rom-com here at The Spill — and one of the biggest shows in the world has returned for Season 2, taking us from swoon-worthy confessions to the brutal reality of what happens after the honeymoon phase.In this season, we find Joanne and Noah navigating the chaos of real love — diving into what happens beyond the meet-cute montage.

    We're also unpacking Joanne and Morgan's iconic sister relationship - the tangled dynamic of being best friends, business partners, and podcasters whose dramatic moments rival the romantic story arcs.We unpack everything from the moments that made us melt to the ending that, let’s just say, the internet (and us) had a lot of feelings about.And, we share a few sneaky behind-the-scenes details about how Nobody Wants This came to be, and one very interesting casting process.

    So, is Season 2 still the sharp, heartfelt rom-com we fell for — or has the spark officially faded? We give you our brutally honest review.

  • That Time The Internet Believed The Queen Was Reincarnated
    Apr 5 2023

    There's nothing more we love here at Lowbrow than royal gossip and a conspiracy theory and this episode has both!

    Shannen takes Holly through the internets silliest rumour, was Queen Elizabeth reincarnated into Trisha Paytas' baby? Which obviously left Holly with one question... who is Trisha Paytas?

    This is an investigation.
