Devil Wears Prada 2 Just Made $233 Million and Nearly Broke Up the Podcast

Jay, Rhea, and Angelo are back... and Hollywood just got a lesson from its own past. Devil Wears Prada 2 opened to $77 million domestic and $233 million worldwide, proving that 125 million Americans over 50 — mostly women — will absolutely show up if you give them something worth watching. The question is whether the movie actually delivered: Angelo thinks Meryl Streep is chewing the scenery so aggressively she’s a structural hazard, Jay thinks she’s the only thing holding it together, and both of them agree Emily Blunt deserved a better movie than the one she got. Is this proof that Hollywood has been leaving a fortune on the table by over-indexing on teenage boys and Marvel sequels?

THEN: SNL is the only late night institution the Trump administration hasn’t gone after and the gang has theories about why. While Jimmy Kimmel is fielding daily White House attacks and Colbert has gone dark, SNL keeps swinging and nobody’s calling their advertisers. Is it the rotating cast? The difference between caricature and attack? Plus: Jon Stewart’s Correspondents’ Dinner bit analyzing the assassination attempt footage may be the single funniest thing anyone has produced all year... and it barely made the news cycle.

ALL THAT PLUS: Hulu dropped a surprise The Bear prequel episode before Season 4 even officially launches, and Angelo still won’t watch it. A deep dive into the history of May Sweeps, Rhea cannot stop watching High Country on Hulu or talking about Criminal Record Season 2 on Apple TV. Angelo found a Scottish show about a man with Tourette’s that he’s calling “beyond spectacular.” And much MUCH more!
