This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, I’m diving into the Ed Sheeran and Macklemore controversy following Macklemore’s speech about Palestine at MetLife Stadium.

I talk about what happened behind the scenes, the role of Robert Kraft, Ed Sheeran’s response, and the bigger question of where music, politics, free speech, and celebrity power collide. I also get into the idea of “staying neutral” and whether artists can really separate themselves from politics when they have such massive platforms.

And because I can’t spend an entire episode being angry, I finish things off with three Songs of the Week (including a track from Carly Rae Jepsen’s latest album).

A messy celebrity controversy, some very strong opinions, and three songs worth adding to your playlist.

Is the cinema officially back? This week, I’m looking at Hollywood’s surprisingly huge year at the box office, from the phenomenon of Spider-Man and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey to the resurgence of horror and what all of this says about the future of theatrical moviegoing in the age of streaming. I’m also looking ahead at the films still to come in 2026, including Resident Evil, Clayface, Prime Time, the Hunger Games prequel, and the absolutely insane December showdown between Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.

Plus, I have some thoughts on why streaming may actually be helping cinema make a comeback, why Jumanji needs to give it a rest, and three Songs of the Week to end the episode.
