MAYHEM MADNESS: OSCAR BOREDOM, TRAITOR REUNIONS, ONLINE BEEFS, & BACHELORETTES

NEW SEASON, same messy opinions—just with a bigger, brighter set to match our big, colorful personalities! SEASON 2 IS HERE. This week, we break down the snooze-fest that was the 2025 Oscars, pay tribute to the late Michelle Trachtenberg, and get into the drama between Alabama Barker & Bhad Bhabie. DDG & Halle Bailey’s relationship? Looking shaky, especially when a livestream is in the mix. Meghan Sussex stays ruffling feathers on her new show, Blake Lively & Anna Kendrick’s reunion at the “Another Simple Favor” premiere had us cringing, and Lady Gaga’s Mayhem era is HERE and we are ready to DANCE. Plus, the Traitors finale has us gagged! Let’s get into it! 🎤✨

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.
