  • How Anne Hathaway Got Labelled a ‘Try-Hard,’ with Alex Sujong Laughlin
    Nov 19 2025

    This week, we take on one of our favourites: Anne Hathaway, and with a very special guest: Alex Sujong Laughlin, the co-creator of Normal Gossip and host of pod Try Hard! Speaking of, that's what this episode is all about: how Anne went from America’s Princess™ to “try-hard” punching bag to the girlfriend of an all-time scammer and, finally, a beloved icon. It's a singular trajectory, and one we dig deep into. (Really, this is personal for these three former theatre kids.) Join us!

We explore his rise to fame, the numerous allegations of abuse against him, and the recent high-profile lawsuit filed by Cassie Ventura (a true hero).
