Another guest who's attractive, smart, and talented. Ugh - not again!!! Val Kilmer's son Jack is here to talk about his starring role in the final shebang of Bruce Willis's iconic action film career, Detective Knight: Independence, the last installment of the franchise. In just 15 minutes, we manage to tackle: our twisted, dark, and trigger-happy culture, the suffering anti-hero like The Joker in all of us, empathizing with and humanizing the bad guy, and themes around police, freedom, the American dream, and violence that wouldn't necessarily be in his dad's films, aka a simpler time. Your happy ending is nepotism and his thoughts on Hailey Bieber's "nepo baby" shirt. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

Your Cancel Me, Baby guide to the wild "Velma" controversy. How my personal story with Mindy Kaling, the insane and nonsensical backlash from both conservatives and wokes, and my own viewing experience not only shaped my view of Mindy, but my belief that the satire is also some of the most genius TV I've seen in a minute. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

Here at Cancel Me, Baby, we're in the business of giving the people what they want. A sexy look at the iconic, OG booty is no exception. Enter Jason Moore, director of the new rom-com action flick SHOTGUN WEDDING (starring J.Lo, Josh Duhamel, your best friend Jennifer Coolidge, and your sex god Lenny Kravitz), who's also here to do just that. We talk about how J.Lo manages to OWN her bare butt... and simultaneously the whole damn room, navigating that in the "male gaze" meltdown era, what's really behind Lenny Kravitz's infamous sunglasses, the real-life dichotomy of his rockstar persona, and how J.Lo's in on the scrutiny of her love life. Putting the ASS in badass, everyone.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

A Christian TV network gets flak. Celebrating Japanese culture is appropriation. Harry Potter books are mutilated. Normal body image is considered toxic. Demi Lovato's bondage album cover is deemed the antichrist. This is why we can't have nice things! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

Up in your chimney is Santa's sweet little ass along with this Xmas week solo ep drop. First thing's first is a follow up from my last ep with Lou Ridley about something that's been weighing on my mind regarding the p-word. (Privilege, you dirty minds.) Speaking of privilege, is Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman 3/DCU fallout really a function of being a woman? I revisit my past interviews with her during milestone moments in her career to discuss. Then we hit all things Barbie, my Barbie alter ego, and why the Barbie movie better.not.be.preachy. Lastly is Elon and Twitter and the media folk's diagnosis of short-term memory loss. Splash some of this in your eggnog and enjoy.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

She's beauty and she's grace, she's here to cut you with her words like a knife. On this special Sunday Service ep, musician Lou Ridley is an artist with a message and is the embodiment of truly giving no fucks what you think while also caring and giving the most fucks about her beliefs, know what I mean? As someone who's able to empathize and also take issue with both sides of the destructive political divide, her art is poignant and intentional. With boobs and hella brains, we get into: religion in pop culture, the icon of Barbie, messaging for men without male-bashing, victim mentality, and a moment where Lou psychoanalyzes me on my own show that I can't stop thinking about and will CERTAINLY be revisited so stay the eff tuned. Take us to church or something like it, Lou. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

According to the court of public opinion, you're either a sinner... or a saint. Because nuance can't compute in the minds of 2022 folk, everybody. This phenomenon is something Paul Johansson and I discuss regarding his dark and twisted character in "Detective Knight: Redemption" (out now) -- the action trilogy in which Grandma Dan Scott (my One Tree Hill lovers) stars alongside icon Bruce Willis. This short chat ain't like the others in Paul's junket circuit experience. We get deep about society's obsession with judging everyone and behind the scenes of working with Bruce Willis in the last bang before his retirement amid all the headline chaos around the actor's aphasia (a cognitive and language disorder) diagnosis. After this you'll think twice about how society labels people: naughty or nice. You decide. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

Tourists from all over the country flock to Nashville eager to experience and snap pics at Blake Shelton's downtown Broadway bar Ole Red. But not everyone is backstage at said establishment causing a ruckus with important entertainment folks... like I was. Here's the story of what actually happened behind the scenes interviewing Blake and his Barmageddon co-stars Nikki Bella and Carson Daly and how I wound up in quite a pickle, but a pickle with a few important takeaways and as always, a bigger message for us all. Bottoms up. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

And much to your surprise, I'd agree! I'm taking you behind the scenes of my time at Blake's Nashville bar Ole Red where I talked to him and his Barmageddon co-stars Carson Daly and Nikki Bella while celebrating their new USA show... Cancel Me, Baby style, but of course. In the new USA game show, celebs go hard at bar-themed challenges giving your fraternity a run for its money, and further, showing that in a time of pure divide and chaos, we can all come together to throw one back and play. And if not do you even have a soul. Check out snippets of my talk with: Blake about Luke Combs's recent sentiment about traditional-sounding country, Carson Daly about the culture clash cure, and Nikki Bella about being a great wrestler and tv host -- not just a "female wrester" or "female co-host."

Lady in the street, Balenciaga in the... trenches of Sam Bankman-Fried's closet, prob. In this first solo ep in a hot minute, I'm looking at the complete and utter clown fest that is the mainstream from my experience on the inside and as someone with eyeballs. This media epidemic is running rampant but I'm looking at: bizarre coverage of Balenziaga's gross spring campaign, Dave Portnoy and FTX con artist SBF, and tumbleweed of attention around the horrible women's crisis in Iran. And of course, why this all matters. So who's more vindictive: the hot blonde bully cheerleader in an 90's movie... or the media? You decide.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

Welcome to the glorious chaos that is my sit down with Machine Gun Kelly's "Taurus" co-lead, Maddie Hasson. Why is it as such, you ask? It's like dating, sweetie, and I don't give it up that easy. So stay tuned as the ghost of Steve Jobs possesses Maddie's devices while we ALSO dive into: power dynamics and bitches vs. dicks in the workplace, Peter Pans: an epidemic beyond Hollywood, narcissism, ego, and insecurity among superstars, Disney gone woke, Maddie's sexual awakening via co-star Megan Fox, and how behind MGK's provocateur persona is actually the sweet little emo boy who needs a hug.

Look out Zuckerberg, shit's about to get real meta up in this bitch. Welcome TAURUS director Tim Sutton, who wrote and helmed the new film starring Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox, and Ruby Rose in which MGK plays a self-destructive rockstar plagued by the demon that is... fame. Megan Fox even plays his ex and the two have an on-screen moment that will have Meryl shaking. Tim and I get into: the pair as global provocateurs vs the individuals and the artists, celebs who fuel their media attention then complain about the spotlight, and the darkness where drugs and success collide. How much of the film is fact vs. fiction? Choose your own adventure, hun, because you may never know. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

She's the OG TikToker on femininity. But don't you dare call her Boss Babe. Alexi Turner, creator of the Empress Collective (former employee for Gaga and booking agent for Victoria's Secret, GQ), is an expert on all things female/male archetypes and honoring traditional gender roles. Cancellable, HONEY! In all of its Nashville in-person glory, we talk: Who hurt you, Andrew Tate?, the sexuality battle of Madonna vs. Cardi B and Britney vs. Selena, is modern America where men have it worse & traditionalists are edgy?, is feminism bad?, what's "toxic masculinity," REALLY?, Candace Owens treating sex as the antichrist, do men really get more money and pleasure?, Gisele and Tom's power dynamic, and why successful female millionaires wind up with gay men.

Jenner. The name. You may have heard of it. In this short but sweet baby interview, I talked with Caitlyn Jenner's son (and David Foster's stepson) Brandon about his personal experience with nepotism, or lack thereof, in Hollywood and breaking out of his very famous name as an individual pursuing his love of music. He may not be a starving artist like the rest of us (seriously, Netflix, back the eff off our account sharing TY), but even resources don't solve his different, own relative struggle of proving himself worthy. Counting pennies or automatically being judged: Which would you rather deal with?  Brandon was promoting his new and upcoming reality music series Project Supergroup from the Embassy Suites in Nashville. Rock on. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

Isolated, lost in the sauce, craving affection and connection? This isn't another night of your diary. It's a new modern fairytale and horror-comedy "The Loneliest Boy in the World." Joining me to make your Halloweekend spookier than your DMs (or lack thereof) are the stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Max Harwood. In spirit of the movie and the despair of our black mirror lives, I chat with the mid-20s actors about: disillusion of IG followers, "My job is to be an actor, not a social media influencer," the dichotomy of social media allowing connection and utter isolation, not fitting in, and community. The movie also stars Ashley Benson, Evan Ross, is in theaters and on demand, and is retro, fun, and twisted, so hop on it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

There may be wine. There may be hors d'oeuvres. But this ain't your typical dinner party. Join me for a brief conversation with director Patty Ivins about her documentary "Deconstructing Karen" (exec. produced by True Blood star Anna Paquin) that's getting attention from various film fest organizations. In the film, a group of white women in Colorado sit around the dinner table for a brutally honest dialogue on the elephant in the room: racism. Patty and I touch on issues like the white liberal woman, CRT, buzzwords, and race as it pertains to pop culture on the whole. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

Remember laughter? What a time that was. Here to reignite comedy for people whose sticks aren't too far up their asses is Court Crandall, the writer and creator of the 2003 classic "Old School." Promoting his new movie "Bromates" (NOT to be confused with "Bros," which we discuss, of course), executive produced by Snoop Dogg, Court and I reminisce on the lost art of the iconic, raunchy comedy, the unmatched '00s era vs the current PC police, Judd Apatow's recent comments on 40-Year-Old Virgin, looking at Old School in hindsight given this climate, why Frank "The Tank" could fly but Dave "The Perv" in Bros was axed, and the Ricky Gervais-not-giving-a-shit of it all. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

This is Ukraine native Tommy Petrov, Creative Director at Meta (formerly Creative Dir. at Snapchat) who's also keen on the NFT space and shares his insightful thoughts on: social media trends, news consumption, the ADD of it all, China's TikTok versus the good ol' USA's, US content vs global content, Trump's social media platform, app shelf lives, are we at the point of no return, are memes the future, are Americans just dumb, fat, and lazy? As a Ukrainian he weighs in on celebs' involvement in the war, Zelensky's screen acting charisma, and yes, his Vogue cover.
