Pop Culture Catch Up: Charlie Sheen, Thirst Trap Doc, and The State of America

This week on Confessionals and Congressionals, Lauren and Cassie unpack a heavy week in news and pop culture:

⚡ Charlie Kirk assassination — we unpack the shocking news, how the internet responded in real time, and what the online reaction reveals about political polarization and the meme economy.

🔥 Thirst Trap: The Fame. The Fantasy. The Fallout — TikTok star William White goes viral lip-syncing Barry Manilow, sparking obsessive fan groups (the infamous Grotto Girls), messy hookups with fans like DisneyMama, and a web of jealousy, blackmail, and emotional fallout.

🔥 aka Charlie Sheen (Netflix) — Sheen’s candid new doc on his chaotic spiral, blackmail over his HIV diagnosis, outrageous drug-fueled stories (yes, the ice cube one), hidden sexuality, and his reflections on how the public’s hunger for his trainwreck prolonged his downfall.
