Devil Wears Prada 2: Hollywood's Expensive Nostalgia Trap (+ MUA Kelly Zhang)
This week on GlowJob, Sasa and Julia break down the long-awaited Devil Wears Prada sequel with the deep dive it deserves. They set the scene by unpacking the seismic cultural shifts of the past 20 years — the collapse of print media, the rise of fast fashion, how TikTok killed seasonality, and why Miranda Priestly's kind of power simply doesn't exist anymore. The cerulean sweater speech made sense in 2006. Does the sequel make sense in 2026? They dig into everything: the character arcs (or lack thereof), the surprisingly softened Miranda Priestly, the Emily-as-Lauren-Bezos subplot, the AAPI representation debate, and how Condé Nast essentially co-signed a movie about its own industry's decline. Plus — Meryl Streep brokered a favored nations deal so her co-stars each walked away with $12.5 million. Classy queen behavior. Then, celebrity makeup artist Kelly Zhang joins the pod to break down her signature "no-makeup" makeup philosophy, her proprietary 3-to-5 golden ratio face-mapping technique, and her pro tips on concealer order, blush color selection, cream vs. powder, and the one product she says instantly elevates any routine. Whether you're a fashion girlie, a film nerd, or just someone who wants flawless skin — this episode has it all. -------- 🎧 New episodes every Thursday.

The $795 Mirror, A Private Jet & the Family Funding it All
A bachelorette party on a private Boeing 737. Sixteen influencers. A villa in St. Barts. And a beauty brand with under 3,000 Instagram followers footing the bill. When Swan Beauty's lavish influencer trip hit TikTok, the internet erupted, convinced this was VC money being recklessly burned. But they were wrong. In this episode of GlowJob, Julia & Sasa pull back the curtain on Swan Beauty, the $795 AI mirror founded by Colby Mitchell — and the powerful family office quietly backing it. We also get into what a family office actually is versus venture capital (and why those rules are completely different), the full breakdown of the St. Barts trip spend, the mind-blowing analytics that followed , and how Swan's acquisition of luxury retailer Cos Bar was the chess move nobody is talking about. Then we zoom out and compare the Mitchell playbook to the family that perfected it: the Kardashian-Jenners — their biggest wins (Skims, Kylie Cosmetics, 818 Tequila), their quiet failures, and what both families reveal about the rise of the passion project economy. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday.

The Oxford Study Is a Lie —Two Asian Women Explain Why
If you've ever been on the receiving end of an "Oxford study 👀" comment on TikTok (or been the one to drop it), this episode is for you. This week on GlowJob, Sasa and Julia are breaking down one of the most misused, misunderstood, and weaponized pieces of internet "evidence" in AAPI culture: the so-called Oxford Study. Spoiler: it's a media analysis paper about TV commercials. It has nothing to do with Asian women's psychology — and the original author is horrified by how it's being used. In this episode, we trace how we actually got here — from the "comfort women" of WWII to US military bases across Asia, Hollywood's 120-year run of submissive Asian woman narratives (Suzy Wong, Madame Butterfly, Miss Saigon, Memoirs of a Geisha), the model minority myth, and today's passport dude phenomenon. Then we get personal: the red flags of an Asian fetish, the desexualization of Asian men, K-pop's cultural reset, and the very complicated question of Asian women who only date white men— and why that's not as simple as the comment section wants it to be. This is GlowJob's AAPI Heritage Month episode — unfiltered, nuanced, and long overdue. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday.

A Sex Therapist Told Us Everything: Kink, Foreplay, & How to Have Better Sex
We brought a certified sex therapist to GlowJob — and she did not hold back. Sex and relationship expert Dr. Shamyra, founder of On The Green Couch, joined Julia & Sasa to break down everything from dating apps to kink to why your foreplay game is probably starting way too late. We get into the real questions couples avoid: What are the core values you need to align on before committing? What's actually going on with Gen Z and sex? Is the alternative dating app Feeld changing how people date? And what's the difference between a kink and a fetish (hint: doggy style counts as kink)? Dr. Shamyra also explains why "we have communication problems" is almost never the real issue, what andropause is and why men need to know about it, how to introduce kink using only things you already have at home, and why foreplay starts the second your last sexual encounter ends. Honest, hilarious, and genuinely educational — this episode will change how you think about intimacy.

Coachella Isn't a Music Festival… It's a Brand Activation
Sasa and Julia are back with their hottest take yet — Coachella isn't a music festival anymore. It's a two-weekend brand activation event with a musical festival attached. And honestly? The receipts back it up. This week on GlowJob, we're going deep on all things Coachella 2026. We break down the chaos: from Anyma's last-minute set cancellation due to 40 mph desert winds, to the wave of influencers posting sob stories about canceled brand trips (and why the whole thing might be fake). We also get into the Airbnb price gouging ($900 for a laundry room with a blow-up mattress?!), and Starbucks' controversial debut as official coffee sponsor with their "Desert Sirens" influencer house. On the brand side, we break down who won Coachella 2026 and why: from Rhode, Sol de Janeiro, Method, and KOSAS. The uncomfortable conclusion? The music might officially be the least economically valuable part of a music festival. -------- Follow GlowJob Socials: Instagram Youtube GlowJob Website Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- GlowJob Podcast is the fastest growing beauty & business podcast that makes you hotter and smarter.

One in five Americans are now using AI chatbots for romantic relationships… and the number jumps to 53% when you include emotional connections. In this episode of GlowJob, Sasa and Julia break down the AI dating phenomenon: who's actually doing it (hint: it's not just lonely single guys), why 93% of people fall into it accidentally, and what the science says about why our brains can't tell the difference. Julia & Sasa break down: the woman who literally married her ChatGPT boyfriend in front of her parents, why the companies building these products have zero incentive to stop, and debate whether AI relationships are actually filling a real void in our loneliness epidemic — or making it way worse.
