    🎙️Episode 105: Six Lies & VHS Tapes 🎙️


    Dear Breathers, let’s talk about the bold-faced lies pop culture told us as kids. From VHS tapes to Saturday morning cartoons, we were out here believing we’d wake up with magic powers at 16 (looking at you, Sabrina) and that every high school party looked like aShe’s All That house rager. Spoiler: neither happened.Apologies for the sound glitches! We're still learning and trying new things with our recording. Be kind! Rewind!

    In this episode, we unpack:

    🔹 Thereal trauma of finding out we weren’t secretly witches after watchingThe Craft

    🔹 Why pop culture had us thinking driving was as easy as reading a manual (Twins, we’re looking at you)

    🔹 The absolute audacity of movies making high heels look comfortable (Dorothy, Cinderella… explain yourselves)

    🔹 HowFerngully was actually telling the truth, and we just ignored it

    🔹 The after-school special drug panic that had us believing dealers were lurking on every corner (spoiler: they were not)

    Also, Lauren shares a childhood fire-related incident that proves stop, drop, and roll was NOT as reflexive as they wanted us to believe. 😬🔥

    We’re also reading listener call-ins, so if you’ve got a pop culture lie that shaped (or shattered) your worldview, slide into our DMs or leave us a voicemail at (312) 772-5725.

    🎧 Listen now and let us know: What’s a pop culture lie thatreally did you dirty?

  • Episode 104: Misogyny, Mystery Bed Poops and Tom Selleck?
    2025/01/19

    In this very NSFW episode, we dive into the insidious ways misogyny permeates our favorite pop culture moments—from Elle Woods’ uphill battle in Legally Blonde to Will Hunting’s instant respect in Good Will Hunting. We question why women must constantly prove their worth, while men often get the benefit of the doubt.


    We also reflect on personal stories of subtle and overt sexism, examine media narratives like Friends, Sex and the City, and The Notebook, and ask: Why is one person’s grand romantic gesture cute and another’s “crazy”? Of course, we sprinkle in laughs, sarcasm, and more than a little banter about celebrity gossip, unexpected gender dynamics, and a certain “bend and snap.”


    Join us as we dissect the stories we’ve been breathing in for years, challenge implicit biases, and, most importantly, laugh through the discomfort. No diggity, no doubt—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
