We're taking one more short break from new episodes this week, but don't worry—we'd never leave you feeling like you've been left outside the crayon box. Instead, we're pulling a Hot Take from our Best Crayola Crayon Color episode from Season 2!

In this clip, our panelists are going head-to-head over two shades that are blue...but definitely aren't the same blue. In one corner, it's Cerulean Blue, the sophisticated, slightly mysterious shade that sounds like it should be sipping an espresso in an art gallery. And in the other, it's Turquoise Blue, the vibrant, tropical hue that brings a little Caribbean vacation to your coloring book.

Well, sharpen your crayons, stay inside the lines, and prepare for a color clash that could make even the biggest box of 120 crayons feel a little...blue.

Thanks for listening! We hope this Hot Take added a little color to your day. If you enjoyed what you heard, be sure to check out the full Best Crayola Crayon episode in our podcast feed for even more colorful pop culture debates, or visit greatpopculturedebate.com for dozens of other showdowns.

We'll be back next week with the premiere of Season 14 and all new episodes. Until then, remember: Everyone's entitled to their wrong opinion.

We're taking another short break from a new episode this week, but we're pulling a Hot Take from our Best Tim Burton Film episode from Season 4!

In this clip, our panelists are going head-to-head over two very different entries in the Burtonverse: 1985's Pee-Wee's Big Adventure versus 2010's Alice in Wonderland.

In one corner, we've got Pee-Wee Herman on a quest to recover his beloved bicycle, complete with dinosaurs, biker bars and a search for the Alamo's basement. In the other, we're falling down the rabbit hole into Burton's fantastical take on Wonderland, filled with the Mad Hatter, the Jabberwocky, and enough eccentric costumes to fill an entire season of Project Runway.

So grab your red bow tie, pour yourself a big cup of tea, and whatever you do, don't say Large Marge sent you...it's time for the debate!

We hope this Hot Take sent you down a wonderfully weird cinematic rabbit hole. If you enjoyed what you heard, be sure to check out the full Best Tim Burton Film episode from Season 4 in our podcast feed for even more Burton-esque debates, or visit greatpopculturedebate.com for dozens of other pop culture showdowns.

We'll be back September 15 for Season 14, featuring 10 all-new debates. Make sure you've subscribed to the show so you don't miss any new episodes!

We're taking a break from a new episode this week, but don't worry, we'd never leave you hanging like a boy toy at the altar. Instead, we're pulling a Hot Take from our Best Madonna Music Video episode from Season 9!

In this clip, our panelists go head-to-head over two of Madge's most iconic videos:

In one corner, we've got "Like a Prayer," complete with religious imagery, burning crosses, stigmata, and enough controversy to make the Vatican reach for the remote. In the other, "Express Yourself," where Madonna basically told the world that bigger budgets, sharper suits, and industrial-chic choreography were all she needed to take over the planet.

So strike a pose and put on your cone bra, it's time for the debate!

If you enjoyed what you heard, be sure to check out the full Best Madonna Music Video episode in our podcast feed for even more pop culture showdowns, or visit greatpopculturedebate.com for dozens of other debates.

Now we want to hear from you. Does "Like a Prayer" have the spiritual power to take the crown? Or does "Express Yourself" demand that Madonna's message—and her music video—be heard loud and clear?

We'll be back 9/15 with Season 14, featuring 10 all-new debates. Until then, remember: Everyone's entitled to their wrong opinion. Vogue accordingly.
