This week, we're talking about Selma Blair. At one point, Selma Blair was one of the most promising young starlets, acting alongside Reese Witherspoon in both Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde. While she never broke big, Selma did become a recognizable character actress and something of a fashion icon. A few decades later, Selma is now more infamous than famous, making headlines for her upsetting behaviour on aeroplanes. At the same time, Selma Blair is an MS patient and an outspoken advocate for people living with disabilities and health problems. However, she's also known for her repeated incidents of Islamophobia. How do we make sense of this complicated person? Listen as we try!

Also, our book club is reading Lisa Whittington-Hill's You Know What You Did: The Hills. Enter here to win a copy of this delicious retrospective on one of the most iconic reality shows of all time!

Taylor Swift's smug married girl era is upon us, but is it genuine happiness or a carefully calculated rebrand? This week, we unpack her eyebrow-raising SNL cameo alongside Dakota Johnson, and ask whether the pop star is embracing a more traditional image while distancing herself from her messy single girl past. Then, we dive into royal family drama as Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, makes explosive allegations about King Charles in his new memoir. Is he honouring his late sister's memory, settling old scores, or simply cashing in? Plus, we're talking Pete Davidson's influencer rant, Travis Barker's health scare, and a few other fresh headlines.

To celebrate The Reheat's fifth anniversary, last week, we recorded a live episode of the show at Toronto's Book Bar! We also brought along our friends, Stacy Lee Kong of Friday Things, Chris Hanna of Film Me In, and Laura Hensley of That's My Opinion!. The result? A raucous panel on the state of popular culture. Is modern fandom sort of toxic? Is monoculture truly dead — and what's replaced it? What's the most unmissable reality TV right now? Why are book lovers referring to 2026 as The Year of The Memoir, and which celebrity memoirs should you be checking out of the library? We address all these burning questions and more.

To make the night even more special, we announced the start of The Reheat's new book club! Each month, we will select a new pop culture-y read to talk about on the show. Our book club pick for October is none other than You Know What You Did: The Hills, a retrospective of the groundbreaking reality show by Lisa Whittington-Hill!

A big thank you to all of our partners for the event, including Cheekbone Beauty, Doll Factory By Damzels, Ode Hotel Toronto, The Cookie Witch, and Zoe's Story Labs.
