REDACTED: NICKI MINAJ, HARRY STYLES, ASHLEY TISDALE, HEATED RIVALRY, & POPEYES

THIS WEEK ON REWIND: OKAY GUYS!! WE’RE BACK!! HAPPY 2026!!!! We are off of our three week break and we are back, better, and ready to discuss the hottest topics not even a full seven days into this new year. First things first, we are discussing the things we missed over the holiday, like the release of the world’s most REDACTED Epstein Files as well as Nicki Minaj speaking at Turning Point USA. Then we address the recent events in Venezuela to the best of our ability, as well as chat about this op-ed Ashley Tisdale French wrote about (ALLEGEDLY, ALLEGEDLY) calling out her former mom group with famous faces like Mandy Moore and Blake’s QUEEN, Hilary Duff. Then we discuss Cynthia Erivo’s new book, Carl Radke’s honest memoir, and then lose touch with reality discussing the last two episodes of Heated Rivalry. Did you miss us?? ‘Cause we missed you. All this and so much more on REWIND!!

ABOUT REWIND: The Podcast - Hosted by the effortlessly charismatic duo Raven Dawson and Blake Rackley, REWIND: The Podcast is where pop culture past meets pop culture present—with a whole lot of personality in between. Fueled by a love for iconic throwbacks and today’s most talked-about moments, these two besties serve up unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and a deep appreciation for the drama that keeps entertainment interesting. From Y2K nostalgia to red carpet chaos, award show upsets to reality TV scandals, nothing is off-limits. Whether they’re revisiting the cultural staples that defined an era or breaking down the latest internet-breaking headlines, expect hot takes, deep dives, and plenty of side-eye. If your playlist lives somewhere between classic R&B and current chart-toppers, if you still quote your favorite 2000s movies on the daily, and if you love a little (or a lot of) flair with your pop culture commentary—this is the podcast you’ve been waiting for. Press play, lean in, and get ready to REWIND.
