Brett Goldstein wrote Ted Lasso, co-writes Shrinking, and now wrote and starred in 'Office Romance,' a JLo Netflix hit that has Claudia and Ben convinced he's one of Hollywood's most in-demand talents. His old-school-meets-new-wave approach is exactly what the genre needed.

Claudia reads for Ladder, a workout planning app she positions as a personal trainer substitute that costs less than a dollar a day. It provides new weekly plans from expert coaches, covers strength training, Pilates, bodybuilding, and at-home workouts, auto-tracks progress, and now includes nutrition tracking at no extra cost. New users can get a 7-day free trial and $10 off their first month via ladder.fit/toast. She then pivots to Tuckernuck, an elevated American basics brand she describes as 'very Americana' and perfect for summer. Claudia admits she was late to the Tuckernuck trend but is now a convert, having purchased cashmere pants, hoodies, cable knit sweaters, and a dress for her daughter Olivia's bris. Code TOAST gets 15% off the first purchase at tknuck.com.
JLo made a surprise appearance at Prime Video's Obsessed Fest for the 'Off Campus' panel — but the real news is her Netflix rom-com 'Office Romance' with Brett Goldstein, which Claudia and Ben both called one of the best movies they've seen in years. JLo was magnetic, the chemistry was real, and old-school rom-coms are officially back.
Claudia called Jennifer Lopez's Netflix rom-com 'Office Romance,' written by Brett Goldstein, one of the best movies she's seen in the better part of a decade.
Robby Hoffman isn't fearless — she's terrified all the time. The difference is she does it anyway, because not doing it feels worse than the fear itself.
John Mulaney texted Robby Hoffman out of nowhere saying he'd been a fan for a while and wanted to make a Netflix special with her. Robby called it 'shocking, horrifying, anxiety-inducing, surreal and thrilling' — and said yes.
Mulaney is buttoned-up, suit-wearing, classy. Robby is gritty, raw, and undefined. Together they made the collab nobody expected. Batman and Robin. Eminem and Dido.
Music had Pope Gregory forcing notation. Comedy has had 'magical thinking' — he's just got funny bones. But jokes work through discoverable, teachable mechanics. Writing down the rules doesn't kill the magic; it gives more people access to it.
Howard Ashman had one insight nobody else had: animated Disney films should be Broadway musicals. The third song of every great musical is the character sitting alone explaining what they want. That's 'Part of Your World.' That structure — combined with Alan Menken's compositions — generated Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, and turned Disney Animation into the most profitable creative engine in entertainment history.
The Lion King musical has been running for 30 years across Broadway, London's West End, and global touring companies. It has grossed over $11 billion in total revenue — more than Avatar, more than Avengers: Endgame, more than any album, more than any video game. It generates an average of $350 million in revenue every single year. Disney owns it outright.
The anonymous French artist Invader has hidden 1,500 pixelated mosaic artworks across Paris alone, with thousands more scattered across 80+ cities — affixed to the Eiffel Tower, the Hollywood sign, and even sent to the International Space Station. He might be even busier than Banksy.
The Flash Invaders app turns city streets into a treasure hunt, letting players scan Invader's hidden mosaics for points. Players have collectively logged over 47 million flashes. Unlike most mobile games that glue you to a screen, this one forces you to look up and engage with your surroundings.
New York draws thousands of young, talented performers every year chasing Broadway stardom — but the hard truth is that most of them never make it. Zelig Williams was one of the rare exceptions.
