Where in the world is Melania Trump ? She's probably fine, but one thing is for sure: She definitely didn't write that tweet proclaiming her health. On this week’s episode (our 50th!) of We're All Gonna Die , we wish a very happy anniversary to President Donald Trump and "covfefe ." Like his marriage anniversaries, this wasn’t an occasion the president acknowledged publicly, but we're sure he and the small circle of people who know what "covfefe" means celebrated the day in their own ways. Also ...

This week in entertainment, it's all about having the last word! We discuss the ongoing Drake-Pusha T diss volley that flared up again this week, after the release of Daytona . The stakes are lower for diss tracks in 2018, but investigative reporter Pusha T might have messed up Drake's SEO play, and that's a new kind of malice. We also discuss the Roseanne cancelation and the grift of the #boycottABC hashtag, and have some recommendations for summer streaming, including Amazon's subversive adapt...

This week's episode of Westworld , "Phase Space," left us with yet another Shruggie emoji, and a big reveal. We discuss whether a movie titled Something About Bernard could work as a rom-com, how Ford could still be in the park, whether aggro Teddy is better, and what the introduction of the Cradle means. We also get some serious "Parents Just Don't Understand" realness from the Man in Black. Dive down memory lane with us. Theme Music: "Iron Horse" Kevin MacLeod ( incompetech.com ) Licensed unde...

Should you see Solo: A Star Wars Story ? Gavia Baker-Whitelaw swoops in with a spoiler-free review of the Star Wars spinoff, and discusses the film's long road to completion, Emilia Clarke's bad acting, and whether Lando is really pansexual . As she writes in her review, the film is "a competently made blockbuster with nothing at its core." Is that what we want in a film that no one asked for? These are the questions we ask in 2018. Plus, we've got thoughts about spoiling Deadpool 2, 13 Reasons ...

In Westworld episode 5, " Akane No Mai ," Maeve is now a Jedi. We've finally gotten to Shogun World, and found out how Lee Sizemore has been sourcing his storylines. We also find out Maeve can't just control people with voice commands, but with her mind. Dolores is still consumed with revenge, and is now messing with Teddy's code. The divide between the two women is tangible, but will they converge again? https://twitter.com/WestworldGifs/status/992392287916314624 Check out our past Westworld se...

This week, we're assessing enthusiasm levels for the new season of Arrested Development , and whether it's still part of the Zeitgeist. Did the internet kill it, or make it into a meme? Netflix is also throwing out a lot of teen-focused content lately, but original film The Kissing Booth is a head-scratcher. Reviewer Tess Cagle unpacks her one-star review, and discusses how the film paints its female lead as an object and leaves her without any agency. Plus, we'll run down some of the movies and...

In "The Riddle of the Sphinx," Westworld finally reveals Delos' end game , and brings up the question of immortality. But that question brings up more questions, of course. Still, the Lisa Joy-directed episode 4 gives us more to work with than the rest of season 2. We see James Delos' fate, but we're still not sure who else's DNA might have been sampled, and where it went. Elsie (Shannon Woodward) is back and she and Bernard enter a facility where new builds are happening and there are definitel...

On this episode of We're All Gonna Die , the gang speaks with Evan Greer , deputy director of Fight for the Future , and she explains what you can do to help save net neutrality. Hint: It's time to be that annoying Facebook friend. We discuss why the Red Alert protest will work, why the internet continues to rally in favor of net neutrality, and what we can expect as the fight gears up in Congress . Later, we break down Mitt Romney's baffling hot dog gaffe, ponder the origins of Stormy Daniels' ...

In Westworld season 2, episode 3, we finally see a new park , but it's not the one we thought it might be. In"Virtù e Fortuna," we get a glimpse of the Raj and a mysterious new character named Grace who looks a lot like a young Theresa Cullen. We also get a glimpse of Shogun World, but in between that and the Raj, we get more muddled timelines and more questions : How is Ghost Nation involved? What is that file inside Peter Abernathy? Did we really need a sitar cover of "Seven Nation Army"? Join...

Remember when everyone cared about their Klout score? Ever wonder what President Donald Trump's Klout score is? We'll you're in luck, because here at We're All Gonna Die , we decided to look it up. We're doing the hard shoe-leather journalism this week. Surprisingly, the website, which claims to measure your online influence by assigning a numerical grade, says the president is an expert in the FBI (duh), Florida (odd), fraud (what?) Michigan (yeah, probably), and even Vladimir Putin (we see wha...

When Danielle Bregoli appeared on Dr. Phil in 2016, few of us could have predicted that she would become a meme . Now the 15-year-old is a successful touring rapper known as Bhad Bhabie , and when we caught up with her in San Antonio, Texas, last weekend, she seemed to be trying to distance herself from her "Cash Me Ousside" origin story. Still, it's part of Bregoli's story, which also involves feuds with fellow internet stars, legal issues , and thoughts about James Comey. Her manager told the ...

If you're wondering if advanced stats have hit pornography, well, we have news for you. While researching Stormy Daniels new film, Stormy's Secret , we stumble of a little thing called "Fuck Stats." But that's not the only thing we talk about (although, it pretty much is the only thing we talk about). On this week's We're All Gonna Die, we talk penis poems and ... politics? Sure. Whatever.

Avengers: Infinity War is here, and it's "entertaining and by no means a disappointment, but it’s otherwise kind of empty," according to reviewer Gavia Baker-Whitelaw. As we prepare for the ensemble assault of the latest Avengers movie, we're counting down the Daily Dot staff's favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, and touching on some important points: Is Chris Pratt a "sexual icon"? How many Marvel movies have we fallen asleep during? Does anyone even remember what happened in Age of Ultr...

Stormy Daniels this week released a sketch of the man she said harassed her into keeping quiet about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump —and the culprit is Tom Brady . This week on We’re All Gona Die , the Dot’s politics podcast, the gang unbundles the wave of internet sleuthing that occurred following Daniels’ reveal. Did one Twitter user actually ID the suspect? Elsewhere we talk about James Comey, America’s would-be resistance hero. And following alt-right troll Mike Cernovich’s r...

Parsec writers Gavia Baker-Whitelaw and Michelle Jaworski and Unclick editor Tiffany Kelly join us to talk about how the Westworld fan community has informed the show in the age of spoilers, what we’re looking forward to in season 2 (more Tessa Thompson), and what we didn’t like about season 1 (The Man in Black can sashay away).

We've all left jobs that we didn't like. It happens. You really have to do what's best for you. We're just lucky enough that we've been able to do it relative privacy. When you are the Speaker of the House, even if you are really doing what's best for you, you're still gonna get laughed at. And maybe even dunked on by late 90s nu-metal bands. Sorry Paul Ryan, you got Papa Roached . But that's not all we talk about on the pod this week. We also talk ... politics? It is a politics podcast so we pr...
