The Popcast With Knox and Jamie

In this episode, we’re celebrating dads for Father’s Day by talking about iconic DILFs…Dads I’d like to FRIEND (even though some of ya’ll got that twisted!). From the shadow daddies quietly carrying entire storylines from the background to the chaotic father figures doing their best with varying levels of success, we’re honoring the full spectrum of paternal excellence. Whether you want to friend, or ‘friends to lovers’ them, we’re giving flowers to the dads who shaped pop culture.

In this episode, we recap this week's pop culture news. Join us as we weigh the legitimacy of the latest TNT wedding rumors and investigate whether men in hats are having a moment and who’s actually pulling the look off. Plus, we check in on the upcoming movie and TV roster to see what’s bringing main-character summer energy and what’s destined to be both painful and avoidable, like the content equivalent of a sunburn.

In this episode, we’re diving into the upcoming summer TV lineup. Join us as we share what we’re buying, what we’re selling, and which premieres are the perfect excuse to hunker down in the AC and ignore the heat index. From the big, obvious watches everyone will be group-texting about to the new shows that already have us irrationally hopeful, we’re breaking down what deserves a spot in your summer binge rotation.
