PARASOCIAL

Do you have unprocessed trauma around Disney Princess Movies? Does mother Gothel remind you of your mom? Confused and Horrified that you’re still attracted to Khal Drogo despite how awful he is to Khaleesi? You aren’t alone! Every week, Momi and Hina sit down to psycho-analyze fictional relationships from television and film. It’s just like therapy, minus the licensed professional (plus+ booze and swearing).

The Devil Wears Prada: Emotional Manipulation & High Expectations

In their 20th episode, Hina and Momi dig into an iconic early 2000s drama and ask themselves if they would work for a manipulative and diabolical boss just to get ahead. Lessons learned include respecting your friends' time, accepting that you can't bring a malignant industry down from the inside, and acknowledging Stanley Tucci as the pride of the female gaze. Plus, the return of everyone's favorite segment: Toxic...But I Love It IG: @parasocialangst Twitter: @parasocialangst Tumblr: paraso...
