Who got snubbed? Who surprised us? And is
The Bear even a comedy? (We still don’t know.)
In this star-studded 2025 Emmy Awards nominations breakdown, Kyle McMahon welcomes back Rotten Tomatoes Awards Editor
Jacqueline Coley to unpack the chaos, controversy and comedy of the
2025 Emmy nominations. From shocking shutouts (
Squid Game &
House of the Dragon, we’re looking at you) to Apple TV+’s quiet domination (
Severance,
The Studio,
Shrinking), this episode dives deep into the biggest trends, breakout hits and Emmy dark horses.
💥 Topics we tackle:
- Why Sterling K. Brown is Emmy catnip (and yes, we said that)
- The Severance glow-up nobody saw coming
- White Lotus vs The Pit — which prestige drama will reign?
- The Bear’s identity crisis: Is it comedy, trauma, or both?
- Only Murders in the Building, Abbott Elementary, and other comedy heavyweights
- Apple TV+ as the new HBO? Kyle has thoughts™
- International contenders, streaming shakeups, and Emmy category chaos
- And yes, Kyle forgets about Adolescence until the very end and then has an existential moment about how good it is.
If you’re an Emmy junkie, pop culture nerd, or just here for the hot takes, this episode has it all — smart commentary, industry insights, and at least three times where Kyle and Jacqueline try not to spiral over TV politics.
Don’t miss:
- Kyle’s mini-rant about Pedro Pascal
- Jacqueline’s Emmy predictions (feast or famine incoming!)
- The best hour of television Kyle’s ever seen (spoiler: it involves Adolescence)
