Description
A Pretty Little Liars rewatch podcast about the things we love & hate about the show, everything queer we can possibly discuss, the best & worst outfits, the best & worst parents, our love for Heather Hogan, and chickpea recipes! (twitter: @chickpeas_pod)
This podcast is hosted by Cameron (she/her) and Deepa (no pronouns), and we have been friends for...jfc, over ten years? And PLL has been a core part of our friendship basically since the beginning. Now that we are back to being long-distance friends, we're rewatching PLL together and sharing our commentary!

Content notes: Apart from stuff in PLL itself, which we don’t usually warn for, we discuss age of consent laws and sexual abuse of minors from 14:55 to 20:50, including specifically the show Broadchurch beginning at 17:40 that includes discussion of murder of a child in the show by his abuser. And once again: we stand in full support of Palestinian liberation and believe that Israel should end its genocidal violence and occupation. If you don’t agree, please fuck off.Today we cover the season...
Once again: we stand in full support of Palestinian liberation and believe that Israel should end its genocidal violence and occupation. If you don’t agree, please fuck off.Today we’re covering episodes 1.20, “Someone to Watch Over Me” and 1.21, “Monsters in the end.” We discuss dolls, ableist violence, dentist gossip, and being “allies” in our high school GSAs.

Content notes: we don’t warn for things that happen in PLL, but from 6:15 to 14:04 we talk about the plot of The Bad Seed, which has murder (including of children), suicide, serial killers, and a cruel reference to capital punishment by electric chair.Also, once again: we stand in full support of Palestinian liberation and against Israel's settler colonialism, apartheid, and genocide.

Content notes: we don’t usually warn for things that happen in PLL itself, but from 27:30 to 31:35, our special guest talks about homophobic and transphobic bullying and assault that he faced in high school, especially playing water polo.Also: this podcast was recorded months ago, but we stand strongly in support with Palestinian liberation and against the genocide Israel is perpetrating in the name of apartheid and settler colonialism. We decry efforts to erase the decades of structural viol...
Today we discuss episodes 1.14 “Careful What U Wish 4”, and 1.15 “If at First You Don’t Succeed, Lie, Lie Again”. We get extremely excited about the arrival of a new character (zero guesses who), compare PLL to like five other teen dramas from around the world, reference Tiktok memes that are years-old now because Deepa hasn’t been on Tiktok since 2021, do some historical analysis, speculate about what Mona’s up to during these episodes, and, as usual, fail to remember details from the night ...
This is a very special episode because we recorded it in person!! (We sort of apologize that the laughs are louder than usual.) We cover episodes 1.12, “Salt Meets Wound”, and 1.13, “Know Your Frenemies”, where we discuss lasagna box money, Pam being horrible, where Toby’s sweater came from, how many times Ian dies, and the only time Cameron has ever been wrong. This episode is kind of heavy as we spend a lot of time talking about homophobia, anti-Blackness, and fatphobia. Episode Transcript:...

In today's episode we cover PLL episodes 1.08, “Please Do Talk About Me When I’m Gone”, and 1.09, “The Perfect Storm.” We discuss the SATs, gender in high school and the show's horrible intersexism, Alison's gay literary references, people needing to eat food, completely unrelated musicals, and jewelry in coffins. We attempt to play High/Low and spend way too much time trying to remember future plot points. We hope you find this charming and not annoying. Episode Transcript: Read it on Buzzsp...

We discuss Ella missing lacrosse games, Melissa potentially poisoning former Homecoming Queens, and Deepa’s extensive literary analysis of two books referenced in the show. We also go on some truly unnecessary tangents, and then play a classic PLL game at the end!Episode Transcript: Read it on Buzzsprout! Chickpea Recipe: Creamy Cashew Kale & Chickpeas from Veg...
In this episode, we covered 1.04, “Can You Hear Me Now”, and 1.05, “Reality Bites Me”. We get our first Alex (yay!) and a new dad (boo). We discuss Toby’s masculinity, Mona’s love for Hanna, shoes on furniture, and strategies to cope with watching Ezra’s scenes. We also spend way too much time talking about Homecoming even though the dance doesn’t happen in either of these episodes. “Follow me, end up like me!”Episode Transcript: Read it on Buzzsprout!Chickpea Recipe: Deepa’s Chana Masala!Cor...
