What exactly is love? Well, apparently it consists of workplace infidelity, HR violations, language barriers, and confessing your infatuation to your best friend's wife via cue cards. Yes! This episode me and my girl Olivia Krauss (@oliviakrauss) discuss not only the morally corrupt film Love, Actually (2003) but also the timeless classic, Home Alone (1990) which we discover is an equally odd film when analyzed with an ounce of logic. Why exactly do we love this movie about an abandoned 8-year-old that physically abuses home intruders? Regardless, we watch both these films every year. They both bring us Christmas cheer whether we are hate watching or love watching. Merry Christmas! Listen now! <3
Just when you think things can't get nay more bleak... they do! Yes, we have more unfortunate news. Sadly, we have lost yet another Hollywood icon with the passing of Rob Reiner. Also, to add insult to injury, he was allegedly stabbed to death by his own son alongside his wife. It's not exactly the type of surprise we like to receive during the holidays, but here we are. Pour one out for Rob Reiner by rewatching Misery (1990). Next up is not much more uplifting, Diddy: The Reckoning! The new doc series all about Diddy on Netflix really captures who Puff Daddy really is... a desperate wannabe! After that, I recap another Netflix program called The Beast In Me which stars Claire Danes. Was anyone else confusing her with Aileen Wuornos while watching this? Finally, I give my harsh critique on both the book and the new film adaptation of The Housemaid (2025). Is it too much to ask that a twisted suburban psychological thriller just be a little more flamboyant?! So many missed opportunities. Oh, and I also tell a story about how my best friend gaslit me into a fit of delirium. Listen now! <3
Nothing says Christmas like forbidden sapphic love in the 1950s! Well, at least thats how I feel. Tune into this special Holiday episode where me and my cinephile bestie, Marcus Cole (@marcus_t_cole), unpack Carol (2015) and *National Lampoon's* Christmas Vacation (1989). Sure, some may argue that the former is not a proper Christmas film, but it takes place around Christmas, so that's all it takes for me to label it a holiday classic. By the way, would you order poached eggs over creamed spinach with a dry martini for an early lunch while simultaneously chain smoking cigarettes? Carol certainly would! After chatting about queer prejudice for awhile we begin to discuss Christmas Vacation (1989). A film that highlights Chevy Chase's physical comedy strengths, despite him being a total a$$hole IRL. Also, do you think Todd and Margo had exciting s€x? We vote: absolutely not. Listen now! <3
Do I need God and religion? No! Why would I when I have Heated Rivalry?! Yes, I'm back again talking about the best show of all time that centers around secretive gay hockey romance. Also, congrats to us on the recent news that the show has been renewed for a second season! We really cannot get enough of the hockey butts. In addition to the new Heated Rivalry, I cannot help but comment on the latest episodes of All's Fair. Specifically, the wildly raunchy scene in which Sarah Paulson lets a fireman penetrate her "emergency exit" with his big hose... their words, not mine. Next up is some semi-scandalous fashion news about how Dario Vitale is already out at Versace after one bombshell collection. Im not sure which is gayer: Heated Rivalry or Dario's singular 80s Miami Gigolo collection that dropped earlier this year. Google it. Then I get into the new trailer for Mother Mary (2026). It's one of 200 movies that Anne Hathaway will be starring in this coming year, and it looks like it has potential! Lastly, for my EPCOT segment, I discuss the haunting experience of being face with your own Spotify wrapped. Listen now! <3
I have been changed FOR GOOD... after watching two bubble butt hockey players immerse themselves in a secret s€x partnership! The new erotic series, Heated Rivalry, has not only taken over the internet, but also my twisted mind. Who knew that closeted gay (bi?) men on ice are exactly what I need to calm my nerves on a Friday night. Before I get into all that, I first address a different queer act of fellatio... Trump blew Bubba! Just when you think the world is as weird as it can get, things get all the more bizarre. Then of course I do a deep dive on the global impact of Wicked: For Good and it's kooky press tour. Also, did you know that if you flip Madame Morrible's initials "MM" upside down to "WW" you get Wicked Witch?! Wild! Finally, the EPCOT this week is all about a dowdy Karen that practically hijacked my flight back to LA. Listen now! <3
When all else fails - return to your hometown and attempt to homewreck your ex's marriage in a delusional ploy to win him back! That's right, this episode me and my s€xsi friend Brent Tarnol (@tomahawktarnol) are recapping two underrated gems. The first being Young Adult (2011). Despite Charlize Theron's character, Mavis Gary, being a horrible person in this film, we still somehow aspire to be like this self-destructive queen. The third act of this film is not only something I'll remember forever, but I will mentally replay it in the shower after a particularly stressful evening. The next movie we get into is Clifford (1994) which contains an unmatched performance by the great Martin Short. Martin's convincing portrayal of a 10-year-old monster child is something that the Academy most definitely overlooked. Also, for God's sake, why didn't they just let poor Clifford go to Dinosaur World in the first place and avoid all the mess?! Sometimes you just need to let a boy have fun. Listen now! <3
Seeing Timothée's Vogue cover felt like someone threw acid in my eyes! Well, maybe not that bad, but still pretty terrible! Listen to me tear apart this magazine travesty and explain exactly why this cover is so flawed. Then I move onto some different fashion news by discussing the new teaser trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026). The trailer is almost perfect, but with one MAJOR mistake. In what world would Miranda f**king Priestly be wearing these dated Valentino pumps? Such a faux pas. Then I give my review on the new Lynne Ramsay flick starring Jennifer Lawrence, Die My Love (2025). If postpartum can really make a b!tch this crazy, it's no wonder some mothers become Karens! Lastly, I talk about the new show on HBO Max, I Love LA. I do love LA myself, but unclear if I really love this show just yet. I'm hopeful it improves! I also share a harrowing tale about me and a friend's vehicular whoopsie at Palm Springs pride last weekend. Listen now! <3
Kim Kardashian is going to win an Emmy! All's Fair is the best legal drama series in the history of television!!! Just kidding. The show is kind of awful. That said, I loved it and I plan to watch it for as long as it gets renewed. However, before I get into that Ryan Murphy mess, I recap halloween and the costumes I hated the most. After that, I dive into my new favorite album by my favorite English pop star, Lily Allen (who I actually totally forgot about until the album dropped several weeks ago). These songs are fire! Miss Lily does not hold back on exposing her trifling ex-hubby. Next, I can't help but touch on Britney Spears and the recent drama surrounding her ex. Can someone read K-Fed's memoir for me? I refuse to financially contribute to that (but I am curious). Lastly, hear about my new amputee fetish and the reality star husband that inspired it! Listen now <3
Katy Perry is already connected to love... Again! I kick off this week's episode with the hard launch between Katy and the s€xsi Canadian politician, Justin Trudeau. Maybe our pop girlie will try her hand at politics next! After discussing that news, I move onto even more confusing topics like Vogue World. WTF even is Vogue World? Well, apparently it consists of Nicole Kidman in Gilda (1946) cosplay and Gabbriette looking very hot. After I talk about other (better) ideas Vogue should be pursuing, I get side tracked and start going on about Megan Fox's recent appearance at a screening of Jennifer's Body (2009). What are your thoughts on Megan's getup to the event? Then I get back on track and dive into my new favorite collab between Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos, Bugonia (2025). Conspiracy theories are lit! Lastly, I tell a very juicy story in my final EPCOT segment about a middle-aged esthetician and a cheating male pop star. Listen now! <3 NICOLE KIDMAN AT VOGUE WORLDGABBRIETTE AT VOGUE WORLD
It's official! Addison Rae's concert tour has ended all human suffering. Well, not exactly, but kinda! I start off this episode of the pod by talking about how I saw Addison live in concert not once, but TWICE this past week! What an experience(s)!!! Then I get into the new Netflix doc called The Perfect Neighbor. It's all about this b!tch, Susan, who is anything but! Next up is Luca Guadagnino's new film, After The Hunt (2025). According to critics, this movie is a total flop, but according to me, this movie is really really good! I think my opinion is the correct one. Lastly, I talk about another poorly reviewed film, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025). This movie might not be as thrilling as the 90s version, but it's still fun to see two white women fist fight in the kitchen. Listen now! <3
WE LOVE PROBLEMATIC CINEMA! Just kidding... but not really because in this movie night episode, Zach and Sloane from the Mummy Dearest Podcast (@mummydearestpodcast) help me pick apart every detail of the homoerotic cult horror classic, Sleepaway Camp (1983). Was kid's camp in the 80s a lawless cult where kids (boys) could s€xually violate each other while an underage transgender serial killer murdered morally corrupt campers? According to this film and it's allegedly hetero director, that was true to experience. After we go on about the film and our fondness for ugly-hot people, we switch over to the movie The VVitch (2015). Also, that is not a typo, the film's director Robert Eggers intentionally spelled witch "VVitch" for reasons that aren't clear. This film is all about how babies can vanish in the blink of an eye and goats are actually hot men that can seduce you into living "deliciously". It's also a great movie to nap to. Listen now! <3
Everyone stop what you're doing and IMMEDIATELY pour one out for Diane Keaton. I start this episode by paying my respects to the icon that she was. It is always sad to lose someone that was such a unique artist because their impact can never be imitated or replicated. We all need to be more like Diane, and by that I mean we should all strive to be the truest versions of ourselves (and wear more crazy hats)! After that sad news, I pivot into some other jarring developments, except this time it's about faux pubic hair. Yes! SKIMS has just launched a wide variety of merkins that have already sold out! Did you by a pair of these furry little knickers? Next, I discuss some other not-so-furry knickers worn by all the s€xsi bombshells for this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion show. The tits are out and we are so back, baby! Then, more fashion content, I gab all about the new Netflix doc series about one of my lifelong idols, Victoria Beckham. A woman that has taught us that if you put your mind to something and look POSH while doing it, something good will eventually come. Never let the haters get you down! And lastly, during my closing EPCOT segment, I have even more tea on that crazy kook, Max Ehrich. He's wildin'! Listen now <3
DO NOT WORRY!!! Dolly Parton is alive and well. Dolly herself provided the world with a wellness check after her sister gave America a terrifying jumpscare by telling us all to "pray for Dolly". After I assure everyone that Dolly "ain't dead yet" I get right into talking about The Life of a Showgirl. Apparently, the life of a showgirl isn't that exhilarating. In fact, some might say it's down right dusty. If you thought Taylor Swift was inspired by Nomi Malone, you thought wrong. It seems as though this album's inspiration more likely came from a ham and cheese sandwich wrapped in wax paper. Not the worst, but nothing that will make your panties drop. Next I dig into the new season of Monster that's all about Ed Gein. Charlie Hunnam plays the hot, murderous, titular character this season and he also speaks like Kermit the frog. Jury is still out on whether or not the voice is character accurate, but hell, if Tom Hanks won an Oscar for Forrest Gump, maybe Charlie just secured an Emmy! Lastly, I touch on the recent scandal surrounding Demi Lovato's ex, Max Ehrich. You'll never believe how I play into the story! Listen now <3
AURRR NAURRR!!! Our fav Aussie queen is separating from her flat iron-haired hubby of 19 years. I guess Nicole Kidman can finally throw those heels back on again! In this episode, I touch on the latest conscious uncoupling that is devastating Hollywood. Aside from marital drama, I also give my two cents on Jimmy Kimmel's unsettling "indefinite suspension" that thankfully only lasted a long weekend. If we can't make jokes about Trump's indifference... Why bother opening our mouths? Then I move on to more glamorous topics like Demna's first show as Gucci's creative director. Thank heavens somebody knows the importance of a sequin tube dress! Then I discuss other upsetting topics like the new AI "actress" called Tilly Norwood. This b!tch is pissing off more people than Jojo Siwa and she isn't even real! Then I bring up the new bombshell conspiracy theory that also seems to be the hill Candace Owens is willing to die on. The world feels quite bleak right now, but I'm determined to find some light. Listen now! <3
Have you ever taken a potion from s€xsi stranger to secure a life of eternal youth and beauty? Have you ever helped your sister kill her abusive ex-boyfriend, resurrect him, and then immediately kill him a second time? Well, you could vicariously do all of these things by watching either Death Becomes Her (1992) or Practical Magic (1998)! Two cult films that have helped define my, and many other's, personalities. One of those other personalities is my dear friend Matt Shively (@mattshively). In this movie night episode Matt and I break down exactly why both of these *autumnal* movies have only gotten better with time. We detail everything from alternate endings, director's cuts, and Matt's complicated sexuality. Listen now! <3
Charlie Sheen is gay!!! Well, not really. He is getting candid about his homoerotic (crack fueled) escapades, though. Before I get into Charlie and his new Netflix documentary I comment on this year's Emmys. I would really love it if some celebs started to style themselves because I'm starting to think everyone is looking a tad too polished. Just an observation! I also can't help but talk about my new favorite Lindsay Lohan Instagram post in which she combines photos of herself on plates of food. How deliciously creative! Then I talk about the amazing new episode of The Goop Podcast featuring the wrongfully convicted hottie, Amanda Knox. How did this girl hold on to her sanity? Lastly, I touch on my disliking of Kate Middleton's overly highlighted hair. Get back to the salon and fix it, princess! Listen now <3
The bunny is boiling over! Grab your best VR workout outfit get moving. In this is a very special episode, me and the pop culture historians, Matt and Viviana (@thnk1994), recap two cinematic masterpieces. I have selected to discuss Fatal Attraction (1987) so we can finally set the record straight on how Glenn Close's character is in fact NOT a villain in this film... She was just a woman in love! Matt and Viviana have chosen the Verhoeven/Schwarzenegger classic, Total Recall (1990). Hopefully we're only a few years away from mentally vacationing on Mars to see hookers with three tits! Finally, I have to ask everyone about their hottest takes on And Just Like That... The answers might surprise you! Listen now <3
Dedicating this episode to all the therapists and gays that heal us! This week is all about the VMAs and psychotic moms. However, before all that I pay my respects to the late Giorgio Armani. Mr. Armani was an iconic (and insanely rich) figure in fashion that will live on for generations to come. After that I highlight my new favorite viral clip of two college footballers in a homoerotic embrace. If this is sports from now on, then maybe I will watch the Super Bowl! Then I discuss this years VMAs which was basically the Sabrina Carpenter variety hour. Next up is my new favorite Netflix documentary, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. This b!tch, Kendra, sure does know how to drag out an elaborate cyberstalking! Finally, I touch on the titillating new teaser trailer for Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights. So good!!! Listen now <3
Does it smell like Thai food in here? No. I've just been having an unlawful affair with my history teacher. Just kidding! This episode I'm shaking things up and I've brought a guest on to discuss two very important films. Me and fellow gay cinephile, Tino (IG: @tinogk), explore every corner of both Jennifer's Body (2009) and Election (1999). Two films that on the surface may seem dissimilar, but actually have quite a lot in common. They're both far-reaching, dark comedies about unhinged high school girls that also take place in dumpy midwestern towns. Turns out, this happens to be both Tino and I's favorite genre of cinema! We discuss everything from queer parallels, dick piercings, and our shared hatred for texting on screen. Listen now! <3
Hey, you! I just want you to come inside, but never enter through the back door... Or whatever Sabrina said. This week's episode is all about an@l s€x!!! Just kidding. Not totally, though. I discuss Sabrina Carpenter and her amazing, new, höerny album called Man's Best Friend. This girl loves a suggestive innuendo! Before I get into all that I bring up my new internet obsession, Plus Size Park Hoppers. Need any Disney tips and tricks? These ladies have got you covered. They'll tell you what's up while they sits, fits and laugh their way to the bank/churro stand. Then I deep dive into the new Jussie Smollett documentary on Netflix: The Truth about Jussie Smollett? ... We have a serious little liar girl on our hands. Jussie takes the term "deny till you die" to a whole new level! Next I give an update on Vogue and their new head of editorial content, Chloe Malle. AKA the daughter of icon and Sex and the City alum, Candice Bergen! We can't wait to see what impact she has on the magazine. Lastly, I share a personally embarrassing story for this week's EPCOT (Existential Pain, Crying, Oversharing, Trauma) segment. Listen now! <3
