A weekly pop-culture breakdown show based on Jezebel's daily column Dirt Bag. Each week Madeleine Davies and Megan Reynolds dig deep on the shallow industry of celebrity gossip, giving you an inside look at how famous people, publicists, tabloids, and even things like Scientology come together to create the celebrity news you love to hate.

00:47:44
Dirtbag is going on an extended hiatus, to return eventually with something new and fresh and fun, so for the last episode, Madeleine and Megan talk about Elizabeth Holmes, 90 Day Fiance, and some other stories we wanted but were never able to cover.
You know what we’ve somehow never done a podcast about? The meteoric rise of everyone’s favorite rapper/Instagrammer/joy bomb, Cardi B! Joining us to discuss her career and power are Jezebel Culture Editor Clover Hope and Deadspin Managing Editor Samer Kalaf, who Cardi once flirted with on camera.
Before Riverdale, Gossip Girl, and The O.C., there was Beverly Hills, 90210, an Aaron Spelling nighttime soap about sexy teens (played by very old adults) living in America’s wealthiest zip code. This week, Madeleine and Megan take a break from their shifts at the Peach Pit to look back at the series, the cast drama, the reboots, and where everyone is now.

Awards season is nearly, finally over and to discuss the highs (?) and lows (??) of the movies, people, and things nominated for the Academy Awards, Maddie and Megan are joined once more by Rich Juzwiak, senior writer and staff curmudgeon, to discuss what we will even happen on Sunday and WHY.
While Maddie is on a small, restorative vacation Megan is joined by Jezebel senior writer Rich Juzwiak and pop culture reporter Hazel Cills to talk about the most surreal show on television: The Masked Singer.
