We’re baaaaack! After a mini-hiatus, we’re kicking things off with some brain candy: Another Simple Favor! The sequel to A Simple Favor has everything we love: mystery, murder, and a wardrobe so extra you could watch the movie on mute and still be entertained. Blake Lively returns as Emily, serving high camp, insane hats, oversized tailoring, and looks that scream Murder Mommy Mob Wife, all courtesy of costume designer Renée Ehrlich Kalfus (A Simple Favor, Hidden Figures, Friends With Benefits). Anna Kendrick’s Stephanie may have a few cute ‘fits, but let’s be real: this is ol’ blondie’s runway.
We break down the couture-level costumes, discuss how Blake’s real-life stylist-free choices influence her character’s wardrobe, and compare it all to the chaotic looks in It Ends With Us (double pants trigger warning). You won’t find any litig**tion speak here, but you WILL find us spiraling into tangents on Marie’s totally healthy Babygirl obsession, our new segment (?) "Dakota Unchained," Party Girl’s 30th anniversary, and even a little Seth Rogen love. It's unhinged, it's fabulous, it's Makeover Montage.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
