Tea Time has some August streaming for you, including Beyoncé’s new album and a Nicolas Cage marathon (1:00). It turns out that Taylor Swift is the celebrity with the worst private jet emissions, not Kylie Jenner (14:37). In honor of the movie’s 20th anniversary, this week’s Cringe Mode is Blue Crush (27:51), and if Katy Perry threw a slice of pizza at you in the club, would you eat it (53:56)?

Hosts: Liz Kelly, Kate Halliwell, and Amelia Wedemeyer
