Happy Half Hour (4/13/26)

Today, we’re chatting about two school rivals who have to work together to save dragons, all while keeping their developing friendship secret; family and friends who gather to celebrate at an island wedding, where the bride has recently left a sinister cult that might still be trailing her; and an aspiring singer-actress who turns overnight from a mid-tier pop star into the world’s most famous (alleged) murderer.
