    Hey Scripties, this week’s episode starts on a somber note as we remember the legendary James Earl Jones, who passed away at 93. From Coming to America to his iconic roles as Darth Vader and Mufasa in The Lion King, we take a moment to celebrate his incredible legacy and share our sadness at his loss.

    For our first Plot and Pop Pick, we dive into Tell Me Lies on Hulu. Season 1 of this intense series follows Lucy and Stephen, whose relationship spirals over eight years in a toxic, life-altering way. We explore Stephen’s complex character, share stories from our own college experiences, and discuss the friendships between Lucy, Brie, and Pippa—and how their distinct personalities influence the story. Plus, the shocking final episode? Absolutely jaw-dropping.

    Next up, we dive into a listener-recommended watch: Rebel Ridge. This gripping film features a former Marine standing up against corruption after local law enforcement unjustly seizes a bag of cash he needs to post bail for his cousin. We explore the real-life implications of civil asset forfeiture and connect it to our own experiences in corporate America, with a focus on doing what's right.

    Lastly, for our second Plot and Pop Pick, we break down Scoop on Netflix, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the women of Newsnight secured Prince Andrew's infamous 2019 interview about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. It’s one of the most incriminating interviews we've ever seen, and we loved seeing the portrayal of female solidarity and power.

    Tune in, Scripties, for an episode packed with reflection, revelation, and riveting plot breakdowns! As always thank you for listening and send us your recommendations for what you want us to discuss next!
