Before diving into the film, they kick things off with Media Mania, covering the upcoming Clueless reboot at Peacock, Ryan Gosling’s surprising lead role in a new Star Wars film, and the frustrations of streaming services canceling shows mid-story. Chelsea and Manika also trade thoughts on under-the-radar hits like Poker Face and One of Us is Lying, and the increasingly chaotic world of Hollywood reboots. The conversation then shifts to It’s What’s Inside, where a group of estranged college friends reunite for a pre-wedding weekend that takes a dark turn when a former friend arrives with a machine that allows them to swap bodies. Manika and Chelsea unpack the film’s themes of insecurity, obsession, and suppressed resentment—particularly through the character of Shelby, whose desire to emulate influencer Nikki spirals into self-erasure. As the swaps grow more chaotic, secrets unravel, relationships implode, and a disturbing double death forces the group to confront what they’ve become. Together, they explore how the film uses sci-fi to interrogate deeper issues like identity, intimacy, and the lies we tell to stay connected to people we should’ve outgrown. The episode offers a sharp, funny, and emotionally honest breakdown of one of Netflix’s most underrated recent releases. Content warnings: discussion of toxic relationships, body autonomy, graphic death, and references to past media depictions of sexual assault and transphobia.
