Big Money Players Network and iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

The Congress Queen and the Prince of Christmas convene in the Church of Cultch (Bowen's apartment) to discuss the disturbing and fascinating cult docuseries Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God on HBO, cult aesthetics, Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour film, Blue Ivy's dance journey, May December's chokehold on the culture at the moment, the song "Candle In The Wind", and the fundamental differences between stew and soup. All this, Kyle vs. Sutton, "RockaFellaCenta" in Rockefeller Center, a dragging of Julianna Marguiles, MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS about next year's LCCAs and our upcoming 400th episode's theme and rules and... the moment you've all been waiting for... an acknowledgment of The Morning Show's season three finale. We want lobster NOW. MAKE us a sandwich!
