In 2022, Dakota Johnson was gearing up to make Madame Webb, while still in the shadow of 50 Shades of Grey, or, as she calls them, "those big naked movies." She was also in a relationship with Chris Martin, which would ultimately end, making way for her to become one of the most eligible bachelorettes in Hollywood. Informed by the traumas of her celebrity grandmother, Tippi Hedren, and mother, Melanie Griffith, Dakota approaches the industry, acting, and romance with a unique detachment — something that has fascinated fans her entire career. Dating expert and coach Lauren Salaun joins UG to unpack Dakota's mindset, as well as Gen Z's morality complex, modern courtship and feminine energy in the age of the manosphere.

Nicole Kidman is the name on everyone's lips — literally. The ADELA muse has been back in the press for her Practical Magic return, which of course warrants a Vogue cover. This one is a very specific ride, with Nicole weighing in on her love of the club, what it takes to be famous, and why she currently feels in "free fall." Also, expect plenty of manosphere, Sex & The City, and Scientology's people skill discourse as host, writer and pop culture savant Dara Laine joins to dissect her favorite redhead.

Alix Earle has transitioned from TikTok, to podcasting, to skincare mogul and is now conquering the final frontier of influencer-dom: a reality show. The superstar and her family are now on Netflix to share what they haven't already, though what's still up for grabs seems to be leaving Alix a little uncomfy. Turns out, it's tough to entertain audiences and investors. Also! French men, Linsday Clancy and the Sydney Swans, there's a lot going on in this solo ep.

Ellen DeGeneres. You know her, you enjoyed her, and you certainly relished in her takedown. Before the comedian-actor-host had one of the most institutional talk shows on the planet, she led her own sitcom, on which she famously came out as a gay woman. At the time, she also did a cover story for TIME, titled, "Yep, I'm Gay." With TV producer and self-proclaimed "Ellen apologist" George Freeman, we trace her rise and fall — uncovering her 'Be Kind' slogan origins, the catalyst for her cancelation, and so much more.

Anna Faris is someone you want to work with. She's funny, gorgeous, and down for anything. Seriously, she commits to the bit, whether that's being housed with s3men or injecting collagen. In 2011, she returned with 'What's Your Number?' a raunchy comedy about how many people a woman could have sex with without being discarded as damaged goods. The problem was, studios didn't know if she could be trusted to pull it off. In their eyes, women are inherently unfunny, and any female-led box office hits were basically flukes. Seth Rogan, Catherine O'Hara, Amy Pascal and more contributed to this incredible New Yorker piece, and its absolutely worth revisiting. Shout out to Not Aspirational pod host and actor Hannah Aaron Brown who is all across it.
