This is an episode like no other...in that, we literally talk about our past 99 episodes—where we started, how we got here, why we aren't joyous people anymore, and where we wanna be.

This week Cristina and Nat use any excuse to pretentiously talk about attending TIFF by forcing Steph to watch The Blackening so we can review it.

This week we examine the depths of some of the most "we're not sure" television shows to try to understand if they're actually good, or do we just have bad taste?

It's the spiritual sequel to our Wet Hot Erotic Summer, heaux!

Oh sisters. Hold onto your mental health, because this week we're pulling up as armchair therapists. That's right, we're talking about the good, the bad and the unending cringe of Netflix's latest addition to their reality show universe. We dive deep into why everyone who would agree to to do this needs to be single and in therapy, make wild accusa…

AKA "we're all cons here": this is the episode where we break the wall between our perceived realities and what is actually happening in the world. WE ARE ALL CONNING EACH OTHER. Since the influx of specials on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and more, we figured we'd take a bit of a dive into the cons and scams that are being talked about. Strap in for a w…

Join us (or don't) as we talk about our sadly common toxic media consumption traits. But then continue to journey to our actually toxic personality traits. This episode doesn't need much of an intro, because much like our toxic traits, we dive in with no abandon, but tons of shame and guilt. We talked about the problems with police procedurals a lo…

Somewhere...someone...is made for you. Or so we're told in a tagline we will not forget. In this extra erratic and colourful episode, Nat takes Steph and Cristina on a journey into one of the most iconic Bollywood films from their childhood. There's lipsyncing, there's dancing, there's really melodramatic acting, a nonsensical love story, and best …

A reality TV episode in podcast-form that follows some of the least affluent women in audio, as they enjoy watching others' lavish lifestyles, people being terrible and exploitative and competing for non-prizes. Throughout the episode, these HouseGuests carefully lay out what trash TV really encompasses, and how all reality TV is carefully construc…
