Actor Zehra Fazal joins Mandy Kaplan to nerd out over Yuri!!! on Ice, the anime that somehow turned figure skating into a meditation on love, anxiety, and gluteal perfection.

Mandy and Abdi Nazemian go full Blonde Ambition to unpack Truth or Dare—the documentary that made pop culture queer, fearless, and very, very sweaty. It’s equal parts history lesson and group therapy, with just enough profanity to make your Nana clutch her pearls.

Mandy Kaplan finally reads Bram Stoker’s Dracula and discovers a shocking truth: there’s almost no Dracula IN Dracula.
