110: "I'm doing my own bit, I don't need you!"

Update: 2025-08-10

Description

This week on the pod we're talking about the time Amanda accidentally made a sexual advance towards Wayne Brady, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2, updates on our pets, the movies that would work better if you replaced the lead with Miss Piggy, whether campy movies are coming back, the non-basketball (aka gay) happenings of the WNBA, and finally we take a step back to be grateful for our lives (sincerity, what?!)

Now that's what I call podcast!
