Summer Sessions

The Crimson White — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 19:00:58 +0000

For the summer return of “Cultured,” Jeffrey Kelly, and his new cohost, Annabelle Blomeley, reintroduce themselves and take a deep dive into summer music, playlists for long car rides and of course bog bodies.

12: Jeffrey and Leah are the final girl(s)

The Crimson White — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 07:04:55 +0000

Wow. This is it, huh? In a final episode jam-packed with sound effects and song clips, Jeffrey and Leah say goodbye the only way they know how: by remembering the Lady Gaga album "ARTPOP." Our hosts also talk about "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit," HBO's "Made for Love" and a new podcast from The CW arriving this summer. Plus, Leah accidentally refers to DJ White Shadow as DJ Whitesnake (as in, "Here I Go Again").

11: Jeffrey & Leah wonder if they could survive 'Survivor'

The Crimson White — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 00:51:26 +0000

The answer? Probably not. (Don’t count Jeffrey out, though.)

In this penultimate episode of “Cultured,” Jeffrey and Leah talk Taylor Swift’s new/old album, Netflix documentaries and Doja Cat’s potential.

10: Jeffrey & Leah come out as pro-teacher

The Crimson White — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 02:47:38 +0000

Zoom University is tough. In this episode of “Cultured,” Jeffrey and Leah get honest about pass/fail, Ariana Grande’s new gig and the worst movie ever made about Tuscaloosa, Alabama (we think).

9: Jeffrey & Leah go to the Men in Music Business Conference

The Crimson White — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 05:32:43 +0000

In this week’s episode, we bring you only the cream of the crop from a too-lengthy (you don’t even want to know how lengthy) conversation between Jeffrey & Leah this weekend. On the docket: Where does one register for the Men in Music Business Conference? Is Hannah Montana making a comeback? And why would Peter Marc Jacobsen, co-creator of “The Nanny,” betray us like this?

8: Jeffrey & Leah yell at each other

The Crimson White — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 02:04:35 +0000

Jeffrey and Leah missed each other. And they missed you! After two painful weeks apart, our hosts reunite to talk about the physical implications of curving bullets, two shows about mother-daughter relationships you can binge-watch on Netflix and (for two seconds) March Madness. Bone apple tea, listeners.

7: Jeffrey & Leah apply for Genovian visas

The Crimson White — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 00:03:27 +0000

There were a lot of things we could have named this episode. Jeffrey listens to jazz for white dads. Leah gets a doctorate in Steely Dan. Eiza Gonzalez says words that Jeffrey and Leah wish she hadn’t said. Jeffrey applies to be Laika’s first-ever movie taste-tester. Tuvalu and Tove Lo are different nouns (???). Leah does her Cher impression (big mistake, huge). Honestly, we did… so much this week.

6: Jeffrey & Leah go on 'Life Support'

The Crimson White — Sun, 28 Feb 2021 18:08:04 +0000

Friday, Feb. 26, 2021, was a day that will live in infamy (for Jeffrey specifically). On this week’s episode of “Cultured,” we celebrate the release of Madison Beer’s album “Life Support,” a Bebe Neuwirth performance of “All I Care About Is Love” and the 366 (!!!!!) movies eligible for Best Picture this year at the Oscars.

5: Jeffrey & Leah consider stanning Wendy Williams

The Crimson White — Sun, 21 Feb 2021 20:55:00 +0000

This week on “Cultured,” Jeffrey and Leah forget to actually stan someone and instead talk about their two snow day obsessions: climate change (Jeffrey) and Céline Sciamma movies (Leah). Also in today’s episode: Why are deluxe album re-releases disappointing us? What did we do to deserve Wendy Williams? And who in Hollywood is conniving their way into an early vaccination appointment?

4: Jeffrey & Leah become #FreeBritney activists

The Crimson White — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 23:00:30 +0000

Happy belated Valentine’s Day from The Crimson White’s most argumentative employees. In this episode of “Cultured,” Jeffrey and Leah talk about The New York Times and Hulu’s “Framing Britney Spears,” Netflix’s “Malcolm & Marie” and the culture desk’s recommended love songs (and break-up tracks).

3: Jeffrey & Leah bully reality television contestants

The Crimson White — Sun, 07 Feb 2021 23:22:53 +0000

When “The Bachelor” is simply too tame and Jeffrey cannot convince Leah to revisit “America’s Next Top Model,” there’s only one legendary show to return to: VH1’s “Flavor of Love,” the 2006 show that pit 20 women against each other in pursuit of Flavor Flav. Jeffrey & Leah talk about Tiffany Pollard’s antics, Golden Globes nominations and The Weeknd’s new greatest hits album.

2: Jeffrey & Leah pronounce Bon Iver

The Crimson White — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 02:06:21 +0000

In our second episode, Jeffrey and Leah talk about people who’ve never won a Grammy (stan Zubin Mehta), how to pronounce Bon Iver (bone eevare) and whether “Midsommar” is a good movie (honestly, who’s to say).

1: Jeffrey & Leah decide to stan Sabrina Carpenter

The Crimson White — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 03:54:06 +0000

Jeffrey and Leah christen “Cultured,” The CW’s new podcast from the culture desk. Our hosts talk “Bridgerton,” Leona Lewis, celebrity baby names and why Olivia Rodrigo makes them feel out of touch.
