After you hear friend-of-the-show Lex Mooney share these stories of mysterious disappearance, law enforcement incompetence, and the occasional preventable death, you'll have learned three lessons:  Children are slippery beasts. Your ABCs (Alwa
Happy Pride Month! We're kicking it off with a review of an LGBTQ cult classic. The Gay Deceivers (1969) was one of the first American films to portray include depictions of homosexuality after the elimination of the Hays Code that plagued Holl
Huge thanks to Behind the Slate Podcast for turning us on to this underexposed gem - give 'em a listen and follow them on Tiktok (which is where we saw the video that inspired this episode). These two white girls from Southern California were w
Folks, we could all use a little good news. But instead of a Gong Noise episode, we decided to find a new direction: Historical acts of kindness. Though the five different stories of individual kindness were different in scale, time period, and
While Olivia and Brooke work up the data to present something decent on the RESTRICT Act, we decided to take Gwyneth Paltrow's moment in the media cycle to revisit all the things we hate about GOOP (and rich people lol). Gwyneth, if you're read
Ok so we watched this movie in 2016 and had this incredible plan to revisit it, listen to our old review, and compare it with our current opinions. But I guess we Mandela Effect-ed ourselves into thinking we had done an episode on it? We litera
The deep dive into child beauty pageants is finally complete. The big question: Why do parents still engage with these pageants when they're a.) so demonstrably harmful to kids and b.) so universally disliked by our culture? The answer is simpl
We've had a WEEK (read: we are very tired), so instead of an emotionally-draining heavy hitter we've opted for another terrible movie to lift our spirits. And let me tell you, From Justin to Kelly DELIVERED. There is nothing right about this mo
To give you a break from real-life family toxicity in the pageant world, we're diving deep into... fictional family toxicity! Hooray! For the first time, we compared two different movies for our minisode: Monster in Law (2005) and My Big Fat Gr
Disclaimer: We had some audio issues on Brooke's recording this week - it's a little annoying, but still listenable, and we really hope it doesn't affect your listening experience too much. Please stick with it! It's our longest episode, and we
THIS MOVIE BAD. Idk what we expected from a movie that won like 5 Razzies, but we are at a loss, folks. This rivals My Boss's Daughter in badness - and this movie was supposed to be a blockbuster. Based on the book duo that inspired the best Fa
Brooke's only familiarity with child pageants was with Toddlers & Tiaras when she was in high school--but how accurate was that to the real life effects pageants have on kids? In part I of her Kids episode series, Brooke covers the history, str
Brooke stalling for time is the perfect excuse to get into the spooky spirit with a good-ole-fashioned horror movie review! And this one's a treat - it has NUANCE. It has JUICE. It has stuff to ARGUE ABOUT. You're gonna love it.  Featuring: a s
Huge thanks to our Patron, Danica, for recommending this to us in our Discord server! It sure is a movie... sort of! A meme that Olivia and Brooke somehow missed, Killer Bean is a strange force to be reckoned with. Listen in for thought-provoki
I don't know what else to say! If the last two parts of this massive series were bad, this one is truly a nightmare. Olivia wraps up her deep dive into the foster and adoption systems on a spectacular low: the international adoption industry. F
Woman! Woe-man! Whoaaaaaa man! It's a weird 90s romantic comedy as a palette cleanser before Olivia's last episode on the adoption and foster industry! This uniquely off-beat film starring Mike Myers, Nancy Travis, and Amanda Plummer (with some
Spoiler Alert: Of course you can, it's just way more complicated than we originally thought.  Olivia delves into the foster system in part 2 of 3 for her "Kids" series episode. What does fostering actually mean? Where did it come from? How do o
We're back in the saddle, friends, and this time we're starting ROUGH with a new series aaaall about kids. It's always the kids. In our first-ever 3-part episode series, and in light of the repeal of Roe v. Wade, Olivia tackles the adoption ind
It's the last episode of the season! For our season finale, we're giving you two mini heavy hitters each - two subjects that keep us up at night but can't fill a whole episode. We'll give you teasers into what we know about men's strange hatred
TRIGGER WARNING: this episode presents topics such as war, gore/violence, body horror, child death and suffering, firsthand accounts of nuclear detonation, and discusses disturbing images and stories related to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima a
If you thought one of your loved ones was the victim of murder, foul play, a cover-up, or simple lack of attention... how far would you go to get answers? https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-courtney-heater  April Fool's!! This episode from Ig
This movie did something that we haven't experienced since The Cat in the Hat: Olivia and I disagreed!! Is Jared and Jerusha Hess's 2009 quirk-fest an underappreciated masterpiece or a steaming pile of irredeemable garbage? We'll let you be the
Most folks are aware of the U.S. nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan - but how much do we know about how it got to that point? Part I of Brooke's Nuclear-series heavy hitter covers World War I, World War II, the discovery of nucl
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of graphic scenes depicting racism, sexism, sexual assault and abuse, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, suicide, blood/gore, bodily fluids, attempted murder, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, domesti
Recent media coverage of the Antiwork movement and the ongoing Great Resignation would have you believe that the working class is simply lazy and unappreciative - but how much of that theory holds water? Turns out, not very much! Learn more abo
