Another parable about the dangers of selling out! Mal and family just want to have an old-fashioned Christmas but VANESSA enters them into a contest and they end up on reality TV. We talk about the capitalism of it all (of course), the impact of bein... more
Media literacy! Historical perspectives! Colonialism! Censorship and the first amendment! Y’all, Emily was BUSY this episode! Also, Esme adds some smart stuff and Anne gets goofy with candy corn.
Fall is falling all around and the three of us couldn’t get together this week! Instead, we offer an insight into our early Patreon offerings (and indeed on truly foundational BSC texts) with these two hot takes about The Parent Trap. Let’s get toget... more
Well, yes, there is a maniac woman again. Why wouldn’t the mystery be caused by a maniac woman? Enough about that. We think Abby studied with Dale Carnegie, we deep dive on the feminism in Carrie, and also, why is Ray Parker, Jr., the best? Listen an... more

I really do love this podcast, it’s nostalgic and so smart! I love the psychology insight, feminism insight and pop culture tidbits. My ONE piece of advice is for Anne and Emily to PLEASE LISTEN TO ESME when she talks about jokes getting old. The “are you crying” and jokes about 69 just irritate me so much and they keep happening! Maybe it’s because I’m listening in order to the back catalogue that it bugs me so much, I don’t know! I really, truly do love it though!
I love how smart the hosts are and their friendship dynamic! I always learn tons of new things. The podcast is also hilarious and highly bingeable
Never listened to an episode that didn’t make me belly laugh. Appreciate the cultural context and the cultural commentary. Pizza toast to this podcast.
I grew up obsessed with these books and started collecting them as an adult. It’s a lot of fun banter but it’s also extremely interesting to hear these women’s personal and professional analysis of these stories and look at the books and characters through different lenses.
The banter is so fun AND I learn something every time. I never read past book 30 or so, but it doesn’t matter. Still love listening when a new episode drops. (Full disclosure that these are dear old friends - BUT, if it weren’t great, I wouldn’t still be listening!!!!)
