"If this is the overall vibe of Friends Keep Secrets, then the show - the first acquisition for #inspo podcaster Jay Shetty's production company - is a must-watch in the most derogatory sense of the word. Friends Keep Secrets is figuring out its deal, both in its setup and its execution."
"Burd and Batalucco have essentially ruined their home by placing cameras everywhere so Friends Keep Secrets can always be capturing whoever is wherever. That means if Gomez wants to lie on the floor during their conversation, she can lie on the floor and we'll still see her."
"The attempts at feigned casualness make for an awkward frisson. Gomez is ostensibly too famous to be doing this, something everyone in the room seems to know, yet that doesn't stop them from behaving insanely."
Friends Keep Secrets is a new interview series hosted by Benny Blanco and Lil Dicky, with his wife Kristin Batalucco, featuring Selena Gomez as the second episode's guest. The show, produced under Jay Shetty's production company, features cameras placed throughout the hosts' home to capture candid moments. The episode contains significant foot-related content, seemingly in response to social media reactions to the pilot. Gomez discusses Taylor Swift and her Instagram direct messages, though the show withholds details about who contacted her. The overall execution appears awkward and uncertain, with the hosts behaving erratically around their famous guest, creating an uncomfortable dynamic that undermines the show's attempted casual atmosphere.
