Summer House convo starts ~ 57min 15 secDeepti, Haley and Larkyn still have PLENTY of thoughts on Scandoval. Deepti thought this latest episode though dragged a bit, and yet they all still talked almost an hour about the whole damn thing. The internet seems to be coming closer and closer to more definitive clues on the timeline of the affair. Lala is super annoying and a TOTAL hypocrite. While Katie has her detractors...Haley DEFINITELY seems to always be #TeamKatie. SCHWARTZ SUCKS SCHWARTZ SUCKS SCHWARTZ SUCKS SCHWARTZ SUCKS SCHWARTZ SUCKS SCHWARTZ SUCKS SCHWARTZ SUCKS SCHWARTZ SUCKS SCHWARTZ SUCKS Summer House needs more plot-lines BUT.....Deepti, Haley and Larkyn are ALL looking forward (1) to further Lindsay-Danielle friendship convos (Deepti feels phantom-losing-friends-pain via Danielle!) and also (2) to the big Lindsay and Amanda one-on-one hangout ahead. ALSO...Deepti thinks that Carl and Kyle's breakup saga is a poor man's Bethenny-Carole breakup tale. 

Deepti, Haley and Larkyn are into the third week of Scandoval and still deeply mired into wormholes and deep dives galore! Haley goes back and forth on how diabolical she thinks Raquel/Rachel really is. PCP's scorn for Schwartz may be AS STRONG as the scorn for Sandoval. Lala had a TERRIBLE episode and Deepti thinks it greatly thwarted her ability to keep despising Rachel b/c Lala was just SUCH a hypocrite. Katie's divorce party weekend was sad sad sad! But man.....the ending of this episode was one of the best few minutes in BRAVO HISTORY.PCP thinks that Lindsay and Carl are NOT moving too fast in their relationship and actually seem like a solid couple (despite being really annoying especially with the BABE of it all). Lindsay  *may* meddle with production more than she lets on in the show. PCP still loves Gabby! And cannot wait to see what Sam's date "Tim from Australia" will be like in the next episode! 

Summer House discussion begins ~1 hr 3 min mark. Deepti, Haley and Larkyn are STILL drowning in Scandoval! They talk A LOT about all their intel from the past week. And yes, including just talking about the many many OTHER podcasts they learned so many new deets from the past few days. Rachel seems even more diabolical now than they ever could have imagined!!! Sandy is worse than they already thought. Peter Madrigal makes Haley and Larkyn fall into an almost never-ending fit of laughter (so much of it had to be edited out!). This drama is never-ending.On Summer House...are we MISSING something about Lindsay and Kyle that would explain the inordinate level of ire they receive from the cast? When will Kyle and Amanda call it quits on this show, it's not good for them!! Will Sam make it to another season of Summer House? The cast needs more dudes. All this discussion and more on this episode of PCP. 

Deepti and Dina discuss in detail all the main cast members of this season. LONG discussions about Anisha, Monica and Monica's dad...oh man. Deepti explains why she cried so much towards the end of the season during all the tensions with Nicholas and Amrit's wedding. Of course they chat about Vishal and Richa. Bali, Brian, Rishi, Avni, Vishal's mom Reshma, Amrit's parents...Dina and Deepti leave no stone unturned!! 

Deepti, Haley and Larkyn have been dYYYYYYYYING at what seems like one of THE biggest Bravo scandals of all time. Tom Sandoval has been cheating on Ariana with RAQUEL for MONTHS WTFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a lot of gasping and screaming in this PCP episode as they analyze all the latest details as of this recording (which was on the night of Sunday March 5th) after the news broke of this debacle on Friday March 3rd afternoon. WE STAN ARIANA!!!! 

Episode starts with Summer HouseVPR discussion starts ~50 min 38 secDeepti, Haley and Larkyn are ALL IN on the drama this season on Summer House and VPR.  It seems that the whole Summer House season will be about Lindsay and Carl and how their union is destroying all their friendships...and it's nuts. It seems right now that both Kyle AND Carl have a point but we have yet to fully hear from the Carl and Lindsay camp so until then, Deepti is #TeamBoth AND #TeamNoOne on this front. Deepti and Larkyn have a few feelings on new girl Sam, meanwhile Haley keeps forgetting she's there. Is it possible that new girl Gabby is secretly a phenomenal reality tv star? Her facial expressions at the dinner fight were top NOTCH! Tom Schwartz may be pulling the wool over people's eyes elsewhere but NOT ON POP CULTURE PRISONER. Deepti, Haley and Larkyn will NOT stand for his gaslighting and fake awww-shucks shtick! Deepti feels she needs to apologize for finding James Kennedy so damn funny. Tom Sandoval's body is insane. Katie...oh Katie. Oh Scheana. Oh Raquel! LALA! SO much went down in this third episode and PCP is on top of it all. Too much analysis to even summarize. 

Deepti, Haley and Larkyn are (for the most part) thrilled that our young(-ish) people shows are baaack! Haley explains why she's "afraid" the new Summer House season is going to disappoint her though. But Deepti and Larkyn are more optimistic. They all discuss what they think the big storylines will be and who they currently "care" about and who are the weakest links.Everyone's excited about VPR! It's back! DJ James Kennedy is back to his substance-y ways and over-the-TOP per usual, most all the couples are broken up, people are living in smaller apartments again. It's going to (hopefully) be a return to glory!!! 

SPARE: ~3min 20 secRHOSLC: ~8min 10 secRHOP: ~25 min 20 secSouthern Hospitality: 39 min 50 secDeepti is so excited to have Dina back on the podcast! Deepti just finished Prince Harry's memoir so she gives her overall thoughts on the book. Then Deepti and Dina discuss what a mess the Salt Lake City part one reunion was! Heather is a contradictory disaster, Meredith never owns up to anything really and they agree on Jen Shah never having been fun to watch. Deepti and Dina canNOT get enough of the Grande Dame's self-confidence! OHHHH dear lord, thinking Juan is dating someone who looks like Karen and THEN believing that Juan wants Karen for a threesome...it's all just too good. VIVA KAREN HUGER. Finally they discuss the last episode of Southern Hospitality...was the entire show THAT fake?? How did it go from fun to none?? And throughout...Dina discusses her recent RHONY (from S1E1!) binge she's been doing and how ILLUMINATING and JOYFUL it is! 

Deepti is thrilled to chat with new guest to the show - standup comedian and producer of the Love Gurus Podcast, Amy Liszka! They discuss their general thoughts on the cast of characters on Potomac (some major disagreements ensue on one of them!), they deep dive into the ups and downs of Heather Gay and of course they discuss the RINNA of it all on Beverly Hills and thoughts on old RHOBH cast members and some of the latest season's cast. The Love Gurus Podcast can be found on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@theloveguruspodcast7366/videos

This week, Deepti, Haley and Sarah talk about the greatness of the new-ish Hulu show Fleishman Is In Trouble and how relatable it is for so many people; Deepti is in the midst of listening to Prince Harry's new memoir SPARE and shares her feelings about it so far just 2 hours into the [almost 16 hour] audiobook; they finally get around to discussing the Potomac ladies and Haley tries to express why she isn't into it (Sarah and Deepti are loving it!); and finally, they discuss...OH BOY...the new Bravo spinoff of Southern Charm called Southern Hospitality. Jeeeeeez Louise this show is off the rails and they go through the main cast members and try to make sense of their jobs and lives and find themselves so thoroughly entertained by this crazy show. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Pop Culture Prisoner is finally back after another hiatus. Deepti, Haley and Larkyn have much to discuss - Rinna is OUT on RHOBH, RHOSLC is having the weirdest (and perhaps last ever???) season, Jen Shah was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, Heather Gay is out of CONTROL, Larkyn and Haley are LOVING Miami and Deepti needs to catch up on it, Winter House is over but Summer House will be on soon and so Kyle, Amanda, Paige, Craig, Kory (ugh), Ciara, Lindsay, Carl, et al are still on PCP's minds! 

Love Is Blind discussion is first and then again at 47 min, 50 seconds to 55 min, 40 secWinter House starts around 33 min, 39 secondsRHOSLC starts around 1 hr 3 min, 10 secDeepti, Haley and Larkyn talk about all the couples on Love Is Blind Season 3, so much cringe and disturbing behavior! And a total turnaround for one of the couples. Then of course their fave show du jour, WINTER HOUSE. No matter how poorly behaved everyone is, they just can't get enough of these hooligans! Deepti finds Paige much more tolerable this season, Kory - oh lord puh-lease, Jess's M.O. on the show is heavily discussed, soft spot for Kyle still exists of course....and so much more Winter House shenanigans are analyzed. They then turn then turn their attention to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and try to figure out why they're all rooting for Lisa Barlow, how they actually like Whitney these days, try to figure out Seth and John's height, attempt to make any semblance of sense with Heather's behavior this season so far....and more analysis! 

Deepti and Dina haven't talked about Family Karma in so long! They try to wrap their heads around the premiere episode of season 3 and think about how the cast and show have evolved. 

Pop Culture Prisoner is back after a two and a half month hiatus! Deepti, Haley and Larkyn catch up on all the gossip about RHOP, RHOSLC, RHOBH, Winter House and a little bit on VPR. 

Deepti, Haley and Sarah are back at it with Beverly Hills! Rinna's behavior is ferociously disgusting, Garcelle continues with her A+ report card for S12, Erika - ugh whatevs, Dorit's charity HOMELESS NOT TOOTHLESS continues to bemuse everyone, Kathy is on SOMEthing these days, Kyle keep digging a hole, Crystal - her storyline is so out of steam despite being an actually serious topic and even she manages to make everyone's eyes glaze over about her presence, and Sutton....she's still a fan fave but she needs to stop the "WHO ME???" innocent act RIGHT!??! Brief discussion on Dubai - Sara UGH, Brooks NOOO, Lesa meh, Stanbury go away, Nina puh-lease, Ayan still a queen (for some people, for others EXHAUSTING).

**CORRECTION: On the podcast, there was some confusion about Remy's age. He was in fact 6 years old and not 3 years old**Deepti chats with new guest co-host, Sean! They discuss the absolute sheer insanity,  brilliance, awkwardness and all around thought-provoking television show on HBO Max made by Nathan Fielder called The Rehearsal.Long time fans of Fielder, Deepti and Sean exalt his unique humor, question his moral judgments and try to wrap their heads around one of the most bizarre shows they've ever seen.  A show that takes the concept of META to a whole new level. 

Deepti and Neelam, both Indian-American, analyze IN DETAIL all the juicy bits of Indian Matchmaking Season 2. For a recap of Indian Matchmaking Season 1 with Deepti and Neelam, listen to episodes 32 and 33 (from July 2020) of Pop Culture Prisoner! Deepti and Neelam analyze everyone on the show including of course Sima Auntie and....The "GirlBoss" herself Viral, Aashay, Arshneel, Akshay, (the return of) Pradhyanum, (the return of) Aparna, Vinesh, (the return of) Nadia and Shital...and also all the people who came on the show but in smaller capacities. Please note: the opinions on the podcast are based on what Deepti and Neelam saw on the screen. If Netflix gave a "bad edit" to people and painted them in a wholly different light compared to what their true character really is...well........that's why you don't go on reality tv! Never trust what a corporate entity will do just to entice viewership!! 

RHODubai discussion starts ~1hr 21minDeepti and Dina are here to discuss the latest embarrassments of RHOBH S12 so far. When will Erika STOP being so lame this season? We are not even scared of her anymore, we are just in awe of the low levels she's gone to for herself. Rinna needs to check herself. Dina has a big analysis of both Crystal and Sutton on these episodes! AND OF COURSE THERE IS MUCH TALK ABOUT SUTTON'S DATE WITH THE INDIAN GUY SANJIT. (DUHHH) Garcelle is still a queen of this season.  What's going on with Asher? How do we "describe" him in today's parlance? All these "issues" and more discussed.Deepti and Dina discuss the latest few episodes of Dubai as well. Chanel Ayan is the most adorable. Sara - BLECH. Brooks - BLECH. Dina and Deepti disagree on Stanbury though! Listen in for all the analysis on all these ladies! 

Deepti, Haley and Sarah are back after a bit of time to help you process what has been happening on RHOBH. Diana is terrible. Kyle - OMG KYLE!!! She's being a TERRIBLE self-producer this season. Erika is embarrassing herself so much this season that we almost barely need to talk about her. Garcelle remains a season hero. Sutton...well we need to talk about Sutton. She's complicated (per her own words...eye roll...)(BUT ALSO TRUE???) Deepti also wants to dedicate this podcast (recorded late Friday night July 15th) to her beloved cat, Jonny Bravo Greenwood. JB passed away on July 6, 2022 morning. Deepti loved JB with her entire heart, soul and mind. JB will continue to live on in Dip's heart and will never be forgotten. JB is missed every moment of every day. Deepti watched so much Real Housewives with JB by her side. 

Deepti, Haley and newcomer to the podcast SARAH discuss what an absolute embarrassment Erika is to herself and all of her shenanigans on the boat (oh BROTHER!) and also where Sarah and Haley stand with Dorit's storyline and Crystal's storyline. They also delve deep into their theories on Diana. WHY is she on the show when she's THAT rich??? They briefly discuss what a dud Real Housewives of Dubai has turned out to be. Such a bummer!
