I'm glad that the cast of Riverdale are finally freed from the shackles of ludicrous writing and inane plot points. I'm honestly looking forward to what they'll do next, since they're all very talented, but were being wasted, though at least they were steadily employed for six years.
You can catch Casey Cott in Moulin Rouge on broadway as Christian.
I'm afraid there's not much for most of them in the future. They've been in that shit show for too long
Exactly. I know they're beyond overjoyed to be able to move freely about the world, taking on projects that they really want to do and being able to cut and dye their hair.
@@lilac951considering the fact that four of them had a half dozen projects each while on the show, I severely doubt that 🤣
They can wipe the tears with their paychecks
Finding out about The Great being cancelled right at the start physically hurt. I wanted news not pain.
Likewise, this was how I found out as well. It hurts to know that it will never receive a proper conclusion. 💔😢
Same
I figured it was going to be canceled with now season three wrapped up the ending.
I was not expecting to found out like this 😢
I really wished the show was promoted better and got the recognition it deserved, feels like not a lot of people really knew about it
Forget actually watching the news, Tessa's perfectly concise videos are the only way that I stay connected with the happenings of the outside world.
I recognize you from commenting on The Take’s channel🎉
@@samanthagupta Haha, yes, The Take and Modern Gurlz are two of my favourite channels, so you can guarantee that I'll always be around! 😂
lol
Smae
The only news I remember is that The Idol got canceled after only one season, Lizzo, and the Michael Oher situation. It seems like HBO listened to the negative reviews but at the same time, they're the same network that renewed Velma for a second season.
They would not have renewed Velma for a second season if you people weren't hate watching it. The ratings for the show were astronomical.
I'm not surprised about The Idol's cancellation, though it could have easily been renewed because of hate watching.
@Animefreak242 I remember seeing someone mention how sometimes they'll make all the episodes but then split it up by different seasons, I dont remember the exact thing but i think that's what's happening? I could be wrong sorry
@trinaq I pretty sure people hated it so much that they didn't hate watch it + it was boring af. In contrast hate watching Emily in Paris is enjoyable
a few additions:
-zepotha takes over tiktok for a few days
-altho enjoyment
-heartstopper s 2 was released
-the summer i turned pretty s2 finale aired
-rammstein SA investigation ended
-hurricane in CA
-eras tour us leg ended, south america leg started
-eras tour film announcement
also if she chose to include the Maui fires, she should’ve included the Northwest Territories fires as well as other disasters. Feels weird to only talk about one.
US citizens remain only caring about the US :/
SA WHAT!
@@jamangel there are sa and drvgging allegation regarding the rammstein lead singer, till lindemann. a lot of women spoke up, but the investigations have ended with him not being charged so far :/ is a big topic in germany, i guess it hasn't been as present anywhere else.
FRICKIN ZEPOTHA
I didn't expect you'll mention the Rubiales affair in Women's Football World Cup. Thanks for raising awareness about it, it's hopeful to see the rest of the world also believes this is something unacceptable.
I can confirm that it was all over the British and the French press with universal condemnation
@@sarahberneyGood. As a spanish woman I love his actions are being discussed with severity outside of our borders.
Thank you for telling us!
Your channel is the only reason I’m up-to-date, with what is happening with this world
Same
Yeah I deleted Instagram a year ago so this is my only connection to the outside world now
And omg, I do follow figure skating news, but somehow I completely missed Yuzuru's marriage!
I wish him and his partner, whoever it may be, a happy and long life ❤
As a longtime Yuzuru Hanyu stan I was so happy to see his inclusion in this video! Love this monthly recap!✨️
I had a mini heart attack, I thought he died or smthn
@nataliakozie6045 omg babe no if that happened the world would end probably
Why are people fan of him? He just a figure skater.
@katet8639 he's an athlete and is considered as basically the GOAT of Figure Skating, which is a sport. Every sport has fans I don't know how to make it any simpler???
@@katet8639he's the best figure skater alive today. He's cute and his personality is adorable. He's also a tough guy who's been through a lot so people love him for that
I just quit Instagram a while ago. Thought I would miss out on the guilty pleasure of reading pop culture news. But this channel has got me covered! :)
Same!!
Woody McClain was also in SZA’s video. I guess this is the perfect example of “Black Celebrity” as he’s pretty know in the black community since he’s on Power and was in the New Edition movie
Yes! I screamed when I saw him.
unironically appreciate you for including the ihop menu update
I just love watching these monthly recaps, it makes me feel like I’ve missed so much over the month
Can’t believe they cancelled the great on hulu 😔 It was my new comfort/ comedy show
Rest in peace, Arlene Sorkin, DJ Casper and Bob Barker. You'll all be forever missed, and will never be forgotten.
You forgot to mention Hozier released his third studio album "Unreal Unearth" on August 18th!!! Go listen to the album, you won't regret it.
Way too much happened this month. But I would add Iggy Azeali writing a letter in support of Tory Lanez sentencing before the release of her come back single. I had been looking forward to it, but I’m completely disgusted that she chose to support a man recently convicted of shooting another female rapper. Not okay in the slightest especially since he continues to deny his actions despite being literally convicted in the court of law. I’m not a fan of the United States justice and prison system, but violence against women should be punished swiftly and his lack of remorse is disrespectful to Megan and the rap industry as a whole.
I like Iggy azalea but I swear she doesn't understand the concept of public relation or how things look. She could have been Nicki Minaj level now had she been managed differently
I stopped listening to Iggy when she kept attacking a woman for having an affair with her baby daddy putting her on blast and calling her profanities, but not having the same energy for him, and this was around the time he wouldn’t even sign the birth certificate to her newborn child. Not saying the woman was right, but hold him accountable as well not just her. Then this whole Megan the stallion situation…I just can’t support women who don’t support women.
These videos are so important to society
One thing you forgot to add was India landing a space craft on the dark side of the moon. This is a huge advancement for scientific and astronomical research. Love your monthly recaps! They’re always so thorough 😊
That’s super awesome but not pop culture
Here are some more U.K. specific pop culture moments:
1. Soap actress Catherine Tyldesley or her management is accused by a small bakery of asking for 100 cupcakes and 2 large cakes for free in return for ‘exposure’ in OK Magazine. The small bakery reveals this on social media and the scandal is called #CakeGate.
2. England Lionesses reach the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 against Spain. They lose 1-0.
3. Several Lioness footballers support Jenni Hermoso after she is sexually harassed by Luis Rubiales.
4. It is rumoured that Sarina Wiegman (manager of the England Women’s team, former manager for the Netherlands’ team) will move to the England Men’s team as a “promotion”. When asked about this, Wigeman is uninterested in men’s football, only wanting to manage women’s football.
5. The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ lineup is officially announced for 2023:
- Layton Williams (actor, ‘Bad Education’/ ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’)
- Les Dennis (comedian and TV presenter)
- Angela Scanlon (presenter of ‘The One Show’)
- Angela Ripon (former host of ‘Come Dancing’)
- Krishnan Guru-Murphy (newsreader and journalist for Channel 4 news)
- Zara McDermott (‘Love Island’ star and tv presenter)
- Adam Thomas (actor, ‘Waterloo Road’)
- Amanda Abbington (actor)
- Annabell Croft (former tennis player and Wimbledon pundit)
- Bobby Brazier (model & ‘Eastenders’ actor (son of Jade Goody))
- Eddie Kadi (comedian)
- Jody Cundy (Paralympian)
- Ellie Leach (actor)
- Nigel Harman (actor)
- Nikita Kanda (presenter on BBC Asian Network)
6. ‘Strictly’ is criticised for casting Amanda Abbington after serious transphobic comments are brought to light.
7. Sir Michael Parkinson, a legendary broadcaster, passes at age 88.
8. Various celebrities such as Simon Cowell, Stacey Solomon, Stephen Mulhern and Joel Dommett do bizarre adverts for the mobile game, ‘Royal Match’.
9. Further serious allegations of sextortion, abuse and sexual misconduct against Dan Wootton (a Showbiz journalist for Daily Mail, The Sun & GB News) are brought to light by ByLine Times.
10. The much loved discount home retailer, WILKO, announces it has gone into administration and liquidation.
Here for the American Girl content since I'm a doll collector. Not used to hearing AG be talked about outside of collector spaces/channels
I know right? I was literally just on their website browsing and then hearing her mention them made me gasp lol.
I really missed 90% of all that. Idk why Miley’s mom marrying the guy from Prison Break is the most shocking to me
1.) Even though it was met with mixed reviews, Blue beetle is met with mostly positive reviews as it breaks the box office making history with not only the first Latin American director, but also having a predominately Latin American and Indigenous cast being the lead characters in a live action superhero movie.
2.) Coincidentally after Blue beetle’s opening day, Xolo Maridueña releases his debut single on my way in collaboration with Adriana Padilla.
3.) AMC has also negotiated with SAG-AFTRA and productions of TV shows like season 2 of interview with the vampire and the Walking dead Daryl Dixon spin-off resume production but that doesn’t mean that the entire strike is over.
4.) Ruby Franke who is infamously known for running the CZcams channel 8 Passengers was also arrested by the Utah Police after one of her children crawled out of a window to seek help which also caused the Utah Child services to get involved.
5.) Charles Martinet who is famously known for voicing Mario announces his retirement of voicing the character.
Dang the fact they didn't cast him for voicing Mario in the movie makes his retirement even more sad
@@coolbeans5911it is sad
I missed so much this month wtf 💀 like 60 seconds in my jaw was dropping but then. It. Kept. Going.
I want you to do a video about the outfits in YOU ARE SO NOT INVITED TO MY BAT MITZVA !! So glad you included it ! Loved that movie 💕
Yes! The entire time I was watching the movie I was thinking, “I hope Modern Gurlz does a video on the fashion and costuming of this”.
you should totally talk abt the new working girl adaptation coming out since the original was so iconic
"What pop culture moment did you miss in [month]?" babe i miss like 90% of them so thank you so much for these videos!!
The way she mentioned Ariana Grande after talking about doughnuts 💀
Beyoncé tour Renaissance becomes the most seeling tour by an black artist
2023 is the yr of breakups and divorces what is in the water this year.
I like staying up to date but never have the time/energy to sift through articles/news. I love these, please never stop making them!
im so glad you included the Rubiales thing bc its been a BIG thing here in Spain and SO many people dont understand how that is still SA (plus the man had been having "inappropiate behaviours" for a long time, a lot of female football players had already tried and bring this all to light)
it was a wild day to be on fstwt when yuzuhan announced his marriage
your voice is so calming that i’ve literally been binging these
I love this, 1. So many of these stories I didn't know, 2. we just get the headlines so I can choose what to look up and learn more about instead of having to watch a super long video!
May Bob Barker rest in peace. So dedicated to the game, he just barely didn't go over 100.
Thank you for these monthly updates! You and Sloan are the only ones keeping me updated lol
I’ve been watching this channel for almost two years, and now I’m a new subscriber! ❤️ 🤗🤗
I had no idea that DJ Casper died. growing up my dad was a mobile DJ and would provide music at like parties and weddings and stuff and when he did kids parties I would help him out because I was often older than a lot of the kids at the parties and I could lead a lot of them in like the communal dances that get people on the dance floor and stuff and one of the most common ones that I always danced was the Cha Cha Slide. That song was huge when I was a kid and I attach it to those memories of helping my dad DJing so it is sad that DJ Casper has died.
I love these recaps, I wish there was an entertainment news show with this vibe
My mom got vegetable shaped Dutch ovens just like that from qvc in the 2000s
QVC?
@@missbellaizaa satellite tv program in the US that exclusively advertises products that are modeled/demonstrated by presenters live. Viewers can call numbers on the screen and order the items over the phone. Basically a TV shopping catalog which made it very popular pre Internet and you can even call in and ask questions about the product. there are other channels with the same business model. The Magic Bullet and Shamoo and I think even the Scrub Daddy were all shown on QVC before they became household names. Not everything advertised is poor quality but it has a reputation for selling useless junk for bored grandmothers with impulse issues to buy.
@@missbellaizait’s a shopping channel
music never misses in this channel. love you videos girl
Please never stop these videos ❤
thanks for keeping me fresh 😭
this format gets better and better!
You’re incredibly awesome for these monthly recaps. I appreciate you so much
Sydney Sweeney is so pretty! 🩷

This is the first month where I didn’t know most of these. Like, this is what happens when I stop using Twitter lmao
I’m here for the news!!!!!
this recap is keeping me alive
This is honestly the best way to get news now. It's become my only connection to current culture.
Hozier's third studio Album 'Unreal Unearth' also dropped on August 18th. Happy streaming!
Thank god for the news! Love these videos 🥳💕
I love these so much!
YUP YUP YUP YUP I LOVE THIS SERIES

I JUST SCREAMED WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE GREAT IS CANCELED??????
I used to follow pop culture regularly, but now I don’t. So these videos are great for me to hear what happened without having to regularly pay attention to pop culture
Thank you. I had no clue about 90% of this stuff.
This is a great summary video of everything that happened
Thank you, Tessa! Your recap is all we need! 😍
i stopped watching tiktoks and now i actually really need these recaps! thx❤️❤️❤️
I can't believe this is how I find out The Great got cancelled 😭 these are sad times. Huzzah.

ZOE’S GETTING MARRIED TO A PROPERTY BROTHER??? that’s the randomest thing I’ve ever heard

The cast of Supernatural also reunited at the picket lines at the end of August
Wow this was a busy month. Missed so much
Yasssss cmon news anchor ❤❤❤
2:18 okay but these dolls absolutely slay
I’m still really sad about Arleen, she is my favorite Harley Quinn, and she appeared in my mom’s favorite Soap Opera which was the inspiration for her. I hope she’s doing well in heaven, a long with everyone else who died. :(
SO excited for the killer
i cannot believe they cancelled the great after season 3 :(
Giving music updates of Igloo Australia's in 2023 instead of reporting that *she wrote a letter to the judge in support of Tony Lares* was definitely a choice 😒
I love Billy Porter
Such a great video well done Tessa ❤
THAT photo at 3:31 is so perfect lmao
Hope you compile these videos by the end of the year
I think this was the most savage August I've ever lived 👁👄👁
Thank you for the update, Tessa. ✨❤️🔥🥰
Your video recaps are SO much better to watch than the news
Yes VICTORIA 🤎
was surprised to see Yuzuru here!
Damn can I get a Spotify playlist to go with this?? So many new releases
also release of season 2 of heartstopper and good omens🥰
Style analysis of one piece nami pleaaaase
Love your videos of course ❤
I didn’t know about the great!!!😭😭 the season ended in such a sad way
I absolutely love your updates. Thank you.
And Barbie has made over a billion at the box office! 🩷💕💞💗🌷🌸🌺💅🏾🛼
This is how I want all news
These videos are slowly featuring more and more random facts that have me question whether I'm an out-of-touch boomer or if these are just actually including less and less interesting facts.
Please do a study on Desperate Housewives fashion! Especially their marketing campaign🎉
I love these videos I learned three new things that I am fully invested in now I figured out the outcomes Of two things I was invested in but forgot and am now upset about yuzurus marriage
this month was packed! I don't really watch the news anymore so this catches me up perfectly.
I must have been on some other planet this month, I missed so much.
Rest in peace Arleen Sorkin! 💔❣️💔♦️💔
