This week gay America received so much, but in particular,\\xa0A Star is Born\\xa0starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, who also directed the movie. Guy, Wynter, Karen & Margaret--aka the full panel--got a chance to watch, cry, and be torn apart by the story of a lady who gained the world, but lost the man that she loves.

On this episode, we go over the history of this film and all the remakes, share predictions on whether The Academy will hand out statues to Lady Gaga and/or Bradley Cooper, or if they\'ll have to settle for the less-prestigious adulation from foreign journalists. Plus, Karen pushes back on\\xa0Sam Adams\'s Slate article, which argues that "the movie\'s battle between rock and pop, authenticity and artifice, and art and commerce is outdated at best."

All Abouts

Wynter is all about the new\\xa0Halloween\\xa0starring Jamie Lee Curtis and the\\xa0kerfuffle over Curtis\'s views on gun ownership on Fox News.

Karen is all about NBC\'s new primetime airplane sci-fi thriller,\\xa0Manifest.

Margaret is all about the\\xa0Twitter beef between Lana Del Rey and Azealia Banks\\xa0over rapper Ye formerly known as Kanye West\'s MAGA-ness.

Guy is all about Katmai National Park & Preserve\'s\\xa0Fat Bear Week competition.
