Welcome to 2026: The Internet Is Cringe, Vecna Is Looming, and Bridgerton Is Back
The New Year is here, and so is our favourite coping mechanism, which is overthinking pop culture so we don’t have to process real life.
In this episode, we start with the big end-of-year question: what actually counts as “good” viral content, because the internet’s latest earworm (“one lollipop, two lollipop…”) is being roasted into oblivion, and Tony Kakkar’s response suggests the strategy might be the cringe.
From there, we get into the anxiety of finishing beloved franchises: Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 2 lands with a lot of anticipation and not enough momentum. Then we pivot to the Bridgerton trailer, which is extremely Cinderella-coded. And finally, we talk about Pluribus.
