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.

Who deserves to be crowned Best New Artist of the Year? In today's episode, I run through some of the biggest emerging artists of the moment, from Malcolm Todd and Ella Langley to Adela and Slayyyter, and make the case for who I think deserves the win.

What the hell is going on with KATSEYE? This week, I’m looking at how one of pop’s most exciting girl groups is being swallowed by algorithm-chasing music, rage-bait lyrics and a label seemingly obsessed with virality over artistic identity — all while members disappear on hiatus and the girls look increasingly exhausted.

Plus, I get into whether KATSEYE can build a real legacy beyond internet discourse, and finish with three very electronic Songs of the Week from KiiiKiii, Enjoy Ourselves and Tobi Club.

The MCU’s X-Men are finally taking shape, and Marvel definitely isn’t playing it safe. This week, I’m breaking down the newly revealed cast, from the choices I’m already completely sold on to the ones that have me excited, confused and slightly nervous. I get into the decision to build the team around a younger generation of actors, the very divisive Rogue casting, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, and whether taking this many risks could actually be exactly what the X-Men need.

Plus, I talk about some of the other reveals coming out of D23 before wrapping things up with this week’s Songs of the Week and a few new additions to my August playlist.

The MCU’s X-Men are starting to take shape, and ahead of D23, I’m breaking down everything we know — and everything we’re still wildly speculating about. From Sadie Sink as Jean Grey and Samara Weaving as Emma Frost to Kit Connor taking on Cyclops, I’m getting into the casting, the younger direction for the team, and why this new generation of mutants could be exactly what Marvel needs.

Plus, I dive into the rumours surrounding Storm, Rogue, Beast, Wolverine and a possible Mr. Sinister, before wrapping things up with this week’s Songs of the Week. D23, please give us answers.

This week, I share my full review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, breaking down how the film handles Peter Parker’s life after No Way Home, its characters and villains, the emotional direction of the story, the new suit, practical stunt work, action sequences and web-slinging. I also discuss what worked, what didn’t and whether this new chapter gives Tom Holland’s Spider-Man the fresh start he needed—before finishing with my Songs of the Week.

This week, I'm breaking down Marvel's biggest announcements from San Diego Comic-Con, from the surprise Black Panther 3 casting to Ryan Gosling's Ghost Rider, the latest Avengers: Doomsday teases, and what it all means for the MCU.
