Deepti sings its praises but also has some *notes* on what are some baffling choices Taylor made on this album. Deepti talks criticisms and criticisms of criticisms. And she generally acknowledges that she feels schizophrenic about this album. ENJOY!

Deepti is finally back after a LONG hiatus and is thrilled to welcome new podcast guest Deana! Deana is a fabulous culture aficionado AND a therapist IRL! Perfect for Real Housewives analysis. They discuss the season 6 premiere of our beloved show (just ask John Oliver and Kristen Wiig who gush about RHOSLC) Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. While this premiere left a lot to be desired, Deepti and Deana still break it all down. Especially trying to figure out what Britney's role even is, whe...

Pop Culture Prisoner's 200th episode!!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT! Deepti and Sean mistakenly dreaded watching the new Bravo show Next Gen NYC about the children of Bravolebs and other rich/famous parents' kids BUT IT IS AMAZING! Well so far at least. The douchey villain Charlie is providing decent tv so far, Ariana (Kim Z's daughter) is shockingly endearing, Brooks has become a SWEET BOY on this show, a couple of the cast members are leaving a bit of a snooze mark so far, Georgia is fantastic and Dylan...

Deepti, Haley and Sarah decided to do an impromptu episode about the second season of The Valley so far. They discuss why season two is feeling SO MUCH MORE ICK compared to the equally disturbing season one. Topics discussed: "HOW sorry" they feel for Brittany (it's a mixed bag), that Zach isn't enough comedic relief for the show (but kudos to him for trying), Lala being annoying, Jax being a dangerous psychopath, how Janet must have zero fans, the intricacies of Nia and Danny's relationship ...

Summer House Season 9 just wrapped with part 2 of its reunion and Deepti, Haley and Sarah have THOUGHTS. First thought being they are all happy for Paige that she decided to leave the show, GOOD CHOICE! They also dissect Amanda and Kyle's marriage, whether Imrul deserved another chance at another season, Lexi and Jesse's toxic AF relationship, Ciara's role in this season, Danielle being an absolutely terrible friend to Lindsay, what on earth Lindsay AND THE WHOLE CAST will be doing for Season...

The most cringey show on television is back and Pop Culture Prisoner couldn't be more excited to dissect what it WRONG with that writers room!!! Deepti is joined by first time guest Laura Shafferman to discuss the highs and lows from episode one. The outfit Carrie mails a blank postcard in...THAT MUSHROOM HAT...LTW's NECKLACE! It's insane. Miranda shockingly had a good first episode, Rosie O'Donnell was entertaining. Aidan continues to make us wince. Charlotte's bug eyes in every scene is har...

One of the greatest shows ever made just had one of the most incredible jaw-dropping season finales ever done. Deepti and Sean marvel at the balls on Nathan Fielder to pull off an awe-inspiring finale! They talk more about the common themes in Nathan Fielder's show that all showed up in this season of the Rehearsal. And they admire how Nathan manages to connect all the threads of some crazy tangents throughout the season. GENIUS.

(Pop Culture Prisoner episode about The Rehearsal Season 1 is August 20, 2022 (episode 135)) Nathan Fielder has done it again...blown us away with more inception-like comedy? Performance art? Social science experiment? Always hard to explain the enigma that is a Nathan Fielder show!! But Deepti and Sean try their best! They discuss the first 5 eps (season finale episode 6 will air on HBO tomorrow Sunday May 25th) and how/why they love Nathan and they do their best to attempt to convince peopl...

Deepti and Dina are scared/excited for season 2 of The Valley! The second season premiere was spectacular from the get-go. Everyone is deranged. Dina has a particularly gigantic dislike for a couple on no one's list for "most hated" - but that's just how Dina's brain rolls it seems! The fact that these people have truly been friends (errr frienenemies) for years seems to really add to the authenticity of the show. Both Dina and Deepti are scared of many of them. And they are both excit...

Dina and Haley have returned to the podcast together to work through all their conflicting opinions on Kyle! So many angles to look at it all through and they share the good the bad and the ugly. Also of course they intensely analyze Sutton's insanity, discuss why it's sad Garcelle is leaving the show and wonder whether or not they like Dorit this season. No cast member is left unscrutinized!

Daniel has returned to the podcast to chat with Deepti about Caftans and Caviar! They analyze what on earth is going through Dorit's head and Sutton's brain in this episode and the past few episodes. Also they give their takes on Sutton's mom REBA, especially since Daniel is also from Georgia! And of course, no RHOBH is complete without the latest on Kyle's antics and headspace (and lack of sharing ANYTHING about Morgan) this season.

Deepti is joined by Sean Serino to discuss this incredible season of Traitors! This episode contains spoilers for everything that's happened in episodes 1-9!

Deepti, Haley and Larkyn get into the nitty gritty darkness of the season finale of RHONY, yikes this was a tough episode! Then they analyze in detail Bronwyn and Lisa (and Haley rants about Whitney!) in SLC Reunion Part 1 of Season 5 - one of the best seasons of a Housewives show!

Deepti and Daniel discuss a CRAZY AMAZING season finale! Salt Lake City has done it yet AGAIN. Mary and Angie have the most heartbreaking/heartwarming conversation that made Deepti sob. And then the dinner from hell ensued...everyone shared what they consider one of their meanest texts written about someone at the table. While some texts were hilariously stupid (looking at you, Brit), so many were GUT PUNCHES and CRUEL. YOWZERS. This dinner was beyond uncomfortable and yet also mesmerizing an...

Deepti and Daniel discuss the penultimate episode of what is a pretty perfect season of Salt Lake City. They are all still in Puerto Vallarta and there is yet another sprinter van ride from hell for this cast and boy it was amazing. A top unhinged moment for Meredith for sure. Britani may not have known she'd be the catalyst for so much drama this season but wow she definitely has inadvertently risen to the occasion.

Deepti, Haley and Larkyn open up 2025 discussing the latest two episodes of Southern Charm...which were basically all about CRAIG. Deepti especially is having very conflicting feelings about Craigy and how annoying he is being so "successful" and constantly talking about it vs how insanely petty and jealous Austen and Shep are being about it. Lively discussions about this topic ensue! Haley also PROFUSELY PROCLAIMS HER UNEXPECTED JOY about the new season of Southern Hospitality!

Deepti and Daniel finish out 2024 with one final episode about the greatest show on Bravo...REAL HOUSEWIVES OF SALT LAKE CITY.Deepti discusses her struggles with her inner conflicts about Bronwyn and about Lisa Barlow. Daniel has a brilliant Southpark analogy regarding Brittani. They realize that Whitney oddly had some solid observations and analysis in this episode and that Heather was actually having a decent episode for once this season. All that and much more analysis in this final PCP ep...

Deepti sits down with her amazing new guest Daniel Schroeder for a scintillating discussion of Beverly Hills. In the course of analyzing the minutiae of this season's episodes 4 and 5, Daniel learns the extent of Deepti's discontent with Kyle...which he was actually quite surprised by! Daniel posits some theories which end up blowing Deepti's mind, including why and how Boz's role on the show is playing out so far. They of course celebrate the ending fight in episode 5 where Dorit goes AT Cam...

Deepti, Haley AND LARKYN chat about how Real Housewives of Salt Lake City can still do no wrong. While the majority tides are turning on Bronwyn currently, everyone is still wildly entertained by all the chaos her now-UNbecoming MEANNESS ends up creating in the group. Meredith is a superstar in this episode bringing Angie her SHAMPOO WITH SULFITES BAT MITZVAH PRESENT all the way to PUERTO VALLARTA just to make a point. Amaaaazing work, Meredith! Angie's ability to NOT see how she has done ANY...
