The Art of Editing Euphoria with Aaron I. Butler
In the world of television and film, the role of an editor is often under appreciated, yet it is crucial in shaping the final product that audiences see. Recently, we had the pleasure of discussing the intricacies of editing with Aaron I. Butler, ACE, an Emmy Award winning talented editor known for his work on Season 2 and 3 of HBO’s hit show Euphoria. In this episode, we will delve into Aaron's trajectory into the film industry, his insights on the editing and storytelling process, and what makes Euphoria such a special, standout series.

The End To A Most Euphoric Era
Did we all see God after the Euphoria series finale...or was that just Alex spiraling from his red eye flight to Sweden lol? Alex and Paige may be podcasting remotely, but BOY do we have a lot to process after that season finale.
WOW. It's hard to even type out this episode description without shedding a tear. Let's just say, we love you Rue forever. We love you Fezco forever. Ali is a f*cking BOSS. Peace out Alamo. Maddie+Cassie= bff duo for life. Lexi loves the bible? We truly will never get enough of our girl Jules. RIP Nate. RIP Snake Takes. Kitty got that BBL? The list goes on and on....
Also, PLEASE just give Sam Levinson, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Coleman Domingo their Emmys....like NOW lol
This episode recap is a little more raw and reactionary, given Alex's travel situation, but we hope you are able to pour a glass of wine, reminisce, and mourn the end of Euphoria with us.
The Euphoria era has been a REAL one. We could not have done it without all our Euphorians and just because this is the end of Euphoria.....does not mean we are quite done yet on That's So Euphoric. We have interviews, bonus episodes and more coming your way, so please stay tuned!
Snake…Take…Nate?!?
Here Lieth Nate Jacobs; he rests in peace, he has kicked the bucket, hopped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, breathed his last, and gone to heaven....or hell? We truly can't be sure. The snake hath taken him and honestly, good riddance!
HBO's Euphoria Season 3 Episode 7.....another complete banger! Sam Levinson truly never ceases to disappoint us. We've got Rue fixated on an endangered Joshua Tree that blew up, Ali is smokin' crack with hookers, Maddy is hot tubbing with Alamo, Nate is cuddling with a snake, Lexi is writing trash TV, and Cassie is....well she's just Cassie. But in all seriousness, this was an incredible episode and we CANNOT wait for this season's finale next week. Tune in to hear all our thoughts and opinions on everything Euphoria. And please...do us a favor and pour one out for the greatest TV villain in history, Nate Jacobs. Jacob Elordi, we thank you for your service.

Stay Euphoric Euphorians and See You Next Tuesday ;) !!
Are You There God? It’s Me, Rue.
As tensions rise in Euphoria Season 3 and stakes escalate, snakes and rats abound. The burning bush lights a blood soaked path through the dark toward redemption but whose blood is it? Will Rue make it to the promised land or perish in the desert? Then again, some Rastafari believe that the burning bush was cannabis so maybe she’s just tripping. ..
Euphoria Season 3 just keeps getting better and better. We were absolutely BLOWN away by Sam Levinson's work in this week's Euphoria Episode 6 "Stand Still and See". Listen here as we discuss Zendaya's masterful acting, Cassie's mental breakdown in LA Nights, Alamo's backstory, Nate's lackluster clown vibes and so much more!

This Little Piggy…Went In Cassie’s Mouth?
This little piggy (Cassie) went to Hollywood..
This little piggy (Jules) stayed at her sugar daddy’s home..
This little piggy got ripped right back off (Nate)..
This little piggy ate bones! (RIP Big Eddy)
This little piggy (Rue) cried “Wee! Wee! Wee!” while Alamo rode full speed at her head with a polo mallet!
Euphoria Season 3 has never ceased to surprise us in the best of ways. In Episode 5, the pigs have been let out of the pen!!! Just when you think Sam Levinson has done it all, he has Cassie eating hot dogs on OnlyFans. Will Nate Jacobs lose more body parts? Will Lexi ever live in peace? Will Jules and Rue run off into the sunset? Will Rue SURVIVE???
These are all questions we will have to "Stand Still and See" next week... ;)

Euphoria is SO BACK - Andale Bitches!
It’s been 4 long years but we have never, EVER been happier to be back!!! In the wild Season 3 premiere of HBO’s controversial banger EUPHORIA we catch up with (most of) the core players and dive back into their messy ass lives. Lexi’s working on LA Nights! Nate’s doing boring business things! Rue’s chasing her pimp dreams! Faye’s farting! Oh yeah, and Cassie’s a dog now.
Tune in as we break it all down from speculating on Sam Levinson’s film influences for the season to debating Rue’s strengths and weaknesses as a drug mule. Join us for the usual hot takes on the fashion, music and animals(?) plus updates on all the drama (or lack thereof) our stars Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Labrinth, Alexa Demie and Jacob Elordi have gotten themselves into lately. Welcome back Euphorians!
WTF is going on with Euphoria?!
The Euphoria cast is in shambles, and it's our job to deliver you the JUICY, most euphoric headlines! Barbie Ferreira bids a tearful goodbye to Euphoria for good, Sydney Sweeney throws a MAGA themed hoedown, Hunter Schafer is trending on Twitter, and SO MUCH more! Let's just put it this way.....the Euphoria cast is a dumpster fire of controversies at the moment, but they still out here winnin' Emmy awards. Watch our video episode as we break down the chaos with our best friend Luis Garcia (podcast host of "The Ponder All Podcast") and pour a strong drink, because this shit gets crazy!
Talking with Euphoria’s Veronica Taylor!
We sit down with Euphoria's Veronica Taylor who's been thrust into the spotlight following her appearance as Bobbi the Stage Manager in Season 2. She tells us about going from school one day to Euphoria the next, improv-ing scenes with Maude Apatow, her love for sci-fi and horror and Bobbi's distaste for Oklahoma!
Talking with Euphoria’s Josh Bramer!
We sit down with the Prop Master of Euphoria's second season to chat about life on set with Sam and Zendaya, how he created Maddy’s bday scrapbook (and Alexa Demie’s reaction to it), the mystery of the Jacob’s family portrait, where he gets all those fake drugs and of course, Cook’s Champagne!
S2 E8- He’s Eatin’ Cigarettes in heaven
Ashtray was a brother, grandson, neighborhood dealer, and a dear friend to some. He was known for his ways with a shotgun and his affinity for eating cigarettes. He is survived by his brother Fezco and his Grandmother Marie O’Neill. May his young soul rest in peace.
Season 2 has come to an end and we are beyond depressed lmao. Tune in to hear our thoughts on Cassie’s stupid meltdown, the possible breakup of our favorite TV couple #Rules, Ashtray’s tragic departure, Lexi’s theatre encore and SO much more! This may be the end of Season 2 of Euphoria, but it’s just the beginning for That’s So Euphoric! ;)
S2 E7- It’s Showtime bitches!!!
Goodbye Oklahoma!, hello Our Life! Newcomer Lexi Howard pulls no punches in her thrilling, raw and riotous debut. With a seemingly infinite budget, she pulls off impressive set pieces, including an explosive musical number that had the crowd begging for more!!!
S2 E6- SUPER BOWL LVI: RUE BENNETT VS. ONE (1) WATERMELON JOLLY RANCHER
We may not have the gotten the much anticipated Cassie/Maddy smackdown cage match we all desired but we did get an episode packed with epic head to head showdowns. Maddy vs. Nate, Nate vs. Marsha, Nate vs. Jules, Cassie vs. Everyone, Ali vs. Diarrhea, Kat vs. Ethan and yes, Rue vs. That Damn Jolly Rancher…
S2 E5- Run, Rue Run!!!
Rue's about to wear a hole in her Converse running this way and that all over the goddamn town. She’s in pretty good shape for an addict though tbh. Tune in for all our thoughts on this incredible, emotional episode & let’s PLEASE just give Zendaya and Nika King their Emmy awards already!
S2 E4 - Somebody’s Poisoned the waterhole…(It’s Cassie)
We drank, we cried, we laughed….but we sure as hell didn’t projectile vomit like Cassie! Join us in toasting to Mr. Big Balls aka Cal Jacobs, Maddy’s birthday and much more in this week’s juicy episode!
S2 E3 - Rue + Imagination = Rumination…?
Believe it or not, Paige really thought “Rumination” was a mashup of “Rue” and “Imagination”. Is she maybe a genius or just really hungover??? Tune in to find out!
S2 E2 - What to expect when expecting Nate Jacob’s Dirty Baby
In a move literally no one saw coming, the second episode of Season 2 opens with Cal caressing Cassie’s pregnant belly in a swimming pool shortly followed by Cal devouring ASS. What is HAPPENING?!?!?!?!?
S2 E1 - New Year’s Fezolutions
In a truly explosive season debut, our boy Fezco has made some serious Fezolutions and he intends to keep them at all costs! With a long awaited Ashtray origin story, drug dealing grannies, piss rags, house party shits, NYE smoochin and vodka bottle beatings, this one's really got it all. The episode so nice we recorded it twice!
