Previously On with Jillian Bonanne

In this episode of Previously On, Jillian and her husband Tyler are breaking down Euphoria Season 3 Episode 3, “The Ballad of Paladin,” and WOW this episode gave us the wedding of the season, but in true Euphoria fashion, it came with chaos, consequences, and one missing toe. Beneath the pink bows and $50,000 worth of flowers, everything starts to unravel for Nate and Cassie, whose “perfect day” spirals into something far darker than either of them expected. Meanwhile,this episode dives deeper into Jules’ backstory, revealing how she became a sugar baby and Rue’s storyline takes a wild turn as she gets pulled into bigger risks.
We’re also counting down our Top 5 “Keep Smiling (As Something Terrible is Happening)” Moments, including Maddie facing shade from Nate’s mom, Cassie desperately clinging to her dream wedding as it collapses around her, and Nate learning the hard way that you can’t outrun your actions even if it costs you a toe.
We also get into Tyler’s takes on everything from the absolute madness of the wedding dance floor to the episode’s wildest visuals yet. This episode really marks the moment where the theme of consequences takes center stage and it feels like the calm before an even bigger storm.

In this episode of Previously On, Jillian is joined by fellow teen drama podcaster Maria Dipasquale (@leftistteendrama) to break down XO Kitty Season 3 on Netflix, and let’s just say senior year at KISS did NOT go the way Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) planned. From messy misunderstandings to schemes gone completely off the rails, this season proves once again that Kitty may have the best intentions… but her plans? Absolute chaos.
We’re counting down our Top 5 Times Kitty’s Plan Failed Miserably, including her awkward spiral before the Busan trip, the attempt to create the perfect senior sunrise, the chaos at a music video shoot, and the ultimate misunderstanding that sends everyone into full panic mode over a pregnancy test.
We also unpack the emotional rollercoaster of Kitty and Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee), picking up right after that Season 2 cliffhanger and following their long-distance summer apart including Kitty’s trip to New York with Lara Jean (Lana Condor). And of course, we have to talk about that finale and the epic airport chase that delivers peak teen drama romance energy as Min Ho races after Kitty and the two take off for Portland together, leaving us screaming at our TVs and desperate to know what happens next.
Plus, we're diving into all the burning questions Season 3 left us with -  What will Portland mean for Kitty and Min Ho? Is Yuri heading toward a full fashion empire? And what’s really next for Kitty? Are we getting a Season 4?!

From Maddy's LA origin story to Jules sugar baby apartment, we're breaking it all down (even though we're on vacation this week).
In this episode of Previously On, Jillian and her husband Tyler are breaking down Euphoria Season 3 Episode 2, “America My Dream.” After the explosive return of Season 3, Episode 2 wastes no time pushing everyone deeper into chaos. This episode is packed with risky decisions, messy reunions, and characters making questionable choices, which is why this week’s Top 5 is the Top 5 Bad Ideas From Episode 2. From Maddie staying stuck in a low-paying job while discovering just how much money influencers are really making, to Faye being trusted with a serious job (what could possibly go wrong?), to Nate throwing a party while in serious debt, the bad decisions just keep stacking up. And of course, we have to talk about the ultimate questionable move, Rue and Jules slipping right back into old patterns that never ended well the first time.
We also dive into Maddie’s backstory, the wild frenemy energy between Cassie and Maddie, and how Euphoria gets more and more meta every season.

Rue is a mule, Maddy's a manager, Lexi's in Hollywood, Cassie's starting a you-know-what, and Nate Jacobs is unrecognizable. We have so much to discuss!
After a four-year wait, Euphoria is finally back, and Season 3 wastes no time throwing us into a completely new (Western?) era for these characters. In this episode of Previously On, Jillian and her husband Tyler break down Euphoria Season 3 Episode 1 "Ándale" and react to the time jump that finds the former East Highland teens now navigating life in their early 20s.
We're kicking off Season 3 with our Top 5 “Where Are They Now?” Moments, breaking down the big character updates from Rue’s (Zendaya) dangerous new reality working as a drug mule for Laurie to Maddy’s (Alexa Demie) career as a talent manager and the unsettling calm surrounding Nate (Jacob Elordi). And of course Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) is on TikTok, but will soon be expanding to some adult platforms. We also talk about what's going on behind-the-scenes, the new visual style that leans into Western themes, and whether this is the final season of Euphoria.
If you’ve been waiting years for Euphoria to return or just started watching, this episode is your essential deep dive into the premiere. Don’t forget to follow our pod as we recap every episode of Season 3 weekly!

In this episode of Previously On, Jillian and Tyler are breaking down the unforgettable Euphoria Season 2 finale (Episodes 7 & 8), aka the moment Lexi’s play turned East Highland upside down and forced everyone to confront their own chaos. From the jaw-dropping production value of the school play to the emotional fallout happening both on stage and behind the scenes, this finale delivered spectacle, heartbreak, and some seriously messy consequences.
We dive into our Top 5 “Wait… Is This F*cking Play About Us?” Moments, including Nate’s explosive reaction to the locker room dance, Cassie’s full-blown meltdown on stage, and the heartbreaking lead-up to Fez never making it to opening night. Plus, we unpack the deeply emotional core of the finale — Rue and Lexi bonding over the loss of their fathers and how Lexi’s play ultimately gives Rue a sense of hope and clarity moving forward.
Along the way, we talk about the meta brilliance of Lexi’s play, the symbolic chaos happening across East Highland, and the lingering questions that still haunt the characters — from Fez’s fate to the looming threat of Laurie and that missing suitcase. This finale was messy, emotional, theatrical, and completely unforgettable — exactly how a season of Euphoria should end.
We're dropping a pod recapping every single episode of Euphoria leading up to the April 12th premiere, and then we’ll recap each episode of Season 3 weekly. Follow the pod so you don’t miss an episode! #euphoria #zendaya #sydneysweeney #hbo
