Revolutionary Biopic ‘Better Man,’ the TikTok Ban, and 2025 Ins and Outs

Welcome to 2025, folks! Jodi is joined by Alexis Wilson in our first episode of the New Year to first go over a few funny little things that have happened over the past two weeks, including Zendaya and Tom Holland getting engaged, Mrs. Fields of cookie fame being revealed to be a baddie, a Carrie Underwood stan account turning on her, and Club Chalamet’s busy month (0:45). Then, they name the United States government as Traitor of the Week for banning TikTok (22:37) and do a full deep dive on the bizarre and wonderful Robbie Williams (who?) musical biopic, Better Man, throughout which he is depicted as a CGI chimp (35:35). Finally, in honor of the New Year and all it can bring, they share their ins and outs for 2025 (1:03:18).

If you wish to donate to those in our Ringer family affected by the L.A. wildfires, the three GoFundMe fundraisers below are for Alexis Wilson’s aunt and uncle, Chelsea Stark-Jones’s parents, and Yasi Salek, all of whom lost their homes.
