Reality TV is either a blessing to help us escape the horrors of the world or another horror to add to it, and this season of Love Island USA feels more like the latter.
Friend-of-the-pod Kaleigh Feldkamp joined to chat about how impressions have changed about the cast this season, the Internet’s favorite ship currently and who we could see winning as it stands.
Stay tuned for a July follow-up wrapping up the season!
What I Leik’d: June
Movies:
F1 (dir. Joseph Kosinski, 2025)
Materialists (dir. Celine Song, 2025)
Brokeback Mountain (dir. Ang Lee, 2005)
Holy moly this was a ride. Can’t believe I hadn’t seen it until now but also very grateful it worked out my first viewing was on the big screen.
Queer (dir. Luca Guadagnino, 2024)
TV Shows:
Love Island USA S7 (Peacock)
The Bear (Hulu)
Need to finish my rewatch and get through S4 again, but then I’m sure I’ll have some thoughts to share.
The Summer I Turned Pretty (Prime)
Smallville (Hulu)
On a journey to prepare myself at least a little more for James Gunn’s Superman this month. Friend of the podcast Kennedi Landry gave me a list to work off that included all the Clark-Lois centered episodes of Smallville.
Adults (FX/Hulu)
Music:
I Quit by Haim
“What Was That?” by Lorde
I haven’t listened to Virgin in full more than once yet, so I don’t feel ready to share a definitive opinion on that. The first single from the album has grown on me a lot, though.
Addison by Addison Rae
Addison, I’m sorry for ever doubting you or looking down on you.
Which includes “Lucky” by Britney Spears and “Miss Independent” by Kelly Clarkson, two absolute BOPS.
Podcasts:
My usual podcasts rotation
The Town with Matthew Belloni
Therapuss with Jake Shane
A couple of my podcasts were in lulls/talking about things I hadn’t watched so I gave a couple Therapuss episodes a try. Nice easy listen.
Good Hang with Amy Pohler
“Our 10 Favorite Speeches of the Century (So Far)” House of R episode
