| 0:00.0 | Jenna Ortega is coming under fire. The great U.S. news band is coming. Georgia is deciding. AI is taking over everything, all that, and so much more we're going to be talking about on today's show. So buckle up, hit that like button, and let's just jump into it, starting with Jenna Ortega. She's been getting a lot of love, a lot of praise, but she's also now found herself in a controversy and on the receiving end of some growing backlash. |
| 0:22.5 | So Retega, of course, stars a Netflix's Wednesday. It's become an incredibly popular show on Netflix, |
| 0:27.2 | even reportedly beating out Stranger Things to have the biggest English language debut on the platform. |
| 0:31.6 | One scene in the series in particular going just wild viral, where you have Wednesday dancing to the song, |
| 0:36.7 | Gougu Muck. But they're also |
| 0:37.8 | reportedly having made the choreography, but also, during a recent interview with NME, she revealed, |

| 1:12.9 | With comments coming in, like, can we all agree that this is not some persevering through hardship moment? |
