Summary

Episode #743: Bryan and Krissy are back to discuss the wild Pop Art craze feeding the Labubu craze! As usual, once TCB knows about it...it's too late! Plus, they break down the chaos behind Hollywood’s labor disputes and the wild world of nostalgic collectibles. First, they take a jab at union drama in the entertainment biz—why some actors are barely scraping by while execs are jetting off to Istanbul to save a buck. Then, they dig into the rise of Labubu (no, seriously), the vinyl toy that’s got adults throwing elbows at Pop Mart's around the globe. From behind-the-scenes rental companies of Hollywood to Beanie Baby flashbacks, Bryan misses every opportunity to cash in!
