Maureen Callahan eviscerates Sam Levinson, the creator and dark mind behind the hypersexualized storytelling in "Euphoria," including Sydney Sweeney’s degrading character role, humiliating scenes, egregious nudity, and what it reveals about the tone and intent behind the series. Maureen also reacts to Stanley Tucci's comments on the set of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" aimed at his co-star turned sister-in-law, Emily Blunt, and how no one seems to know what the sequel is about. Then Maureen reads Troublemaker mail involving a comparison between Lena Dunham and Charlize Theron’s handling of childhood trauma, calling out tabloids for outpacing traditional media, and weighing in on claims that another YouTube show is borrowing The Nerve’s signature woodchipper brand. Finally, Maureen unpacks resurfaced viral clips of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and dissects the moments fueling renewed scrutiny around their marriage, including Jada’s public remarks, Will’s increasingly strained reactions, and why it's probably time for a division of assets.
