Late to the Party with Nikki & Bri
Late to the Party is a film, fashion, and pop culture podcast. Check in every Thursday to hear hosts Nikki Jensen and Bri Picone discuss the age-old question: why was the Chanel S/S 1996 runway show SO iconic? Lament about Dakota Johnson's Architectural Digest interview, and give their full thesis on why Sofia Coppola is their favorite nepo baby (and should be yours too). We are curious about why we are so collectively obsessed with film and pop culture and how it shapes us into the weirdos that we are. Nikki and Bri are here to crash your party... we just might be late.

We dive into Call Me By Your Name, Taylor Swift’s masters, Addison Rae’s chokehold on the pop girlies, Past Lives and its surprise Luca Guadagnino connection, and the Honey Boo Boo Lifetime biopic.

This week's episode is a wild ride! We're talking Lorde tickets, premonitions, and the return of the Final Destination series. Is it fate, or just us being dramatic? We also watch Save the Last Dance for the very first time, get into Conclavecore, our It Girl alignment, Nikki's The Mask confession (and One Hour Photo tangent), and Bri gives us a Honey Boo Boo update.

He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable.
