Tune in to hear my thought on the movie as I celebrate (and thirst over) Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and THE ONE AND ONLY Mike Faist.You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @flushdatoiletyebiach2024-05-2746 min

The Overshare PamphletEp. 14 - The End of TikTok's Hegemony and Celebrity Couples with Big Age GapsHi y'all. I think today's topic is probably one of the longest overdue.
