Summary

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share where they were when TikTok went dark, their theories about how the app is changing, and their favorite memes from Monday's inauguration. Then, they dive deep into Justin Baldoni's new lawsuit and some of the more revealing text exchanges with Blake Lively (aka Khaleesi?). Is Ryan Reynolds the real mastermind behind this feud? What does Jenny Slate know that we don't? There's more to this than what we've seen so far, and we'll be keeping an eye on how things unfold. Next, Oscar nominations were announced yesterday, and it looks like it's time for Aleen to finally finish watching Emilia Pérez, because it came out on top with an impressive, if baffling, 13 noms. Finally, they give their review of fellow Best Picture nominee Anora. Our joint Betches of the Week are TikTok, for pulling a Selena Gomez and coming back online a mere 12 hours after dramatically going dark, and @Bee.Better.Company for helping us decipher the Baldoni lawsuit. We're sending Ryan Reynolds to the Caymans to get his ego under control once and for all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
