Episode 24: From Bruno to Blockbusters to the Bizarre

It’s a brand-new year, and Becky and Presley are ringing it in Baker-Take style — with pop culture, politics, and plenty of head-scratching headlines. They kick things off talking New Year reflections and the return of feel-good energy, including Bruno Mars’ latest release and why it’s hitting just right.

Next, the duo heads to the movies, breaking down why theaters are finally rebounding, what’s driving audiences back into seats, and which films are making the big screen exciting again. But it wouldn’t be The Baker Take without a deeper dive into the strange and unsettling — from shocking fraud allegations tied to Somalia aid in Minnesota, to the stunning capture of Venezuela’s president Maduro.

And if that wasn’t bizarre enough, they close with one of the internet’s strangest rabbit holes yet: the cult-like beliefs and followers surrounding Groundhog Day. Yes… really.

Smart, surprising, and just the right amount of unfiltered — Becky and Presley take on the new year with curiosity, commentary, and their signature mother-daughter chemistry. Stay tuned till the end for their Love-Hate pics.
