    Grab your USB sticks full of mashups and get ready to join an acapella group, we're heading back to college for all of our thoughts on Pitch Perfect! Was the music of 2012 the least timeless music ever made? Who made the choice to cast Ben platt & Skylar Astin, two identical white men as friends/roommates? Why are college freshman the absolute worst people on the planet? Is this the weirdest portrayal of college life in a movie? And why the fuck is her dad even here?! Tangents include: nepotism in Hollywood, BTS, That 70's Show, Glee's overall influence on culture, and the concept of 'cool girls' because we can't stop giving our opinions on female friendships depicted in media!

Is this the best Casa Amor? How much would you have to pay us to be on the Bomb Squad? Why do the Brits seem to love an orange hue when it comes to tanning? Plus, our thoughts on the cast's current Instagram content & who's making the best promos for Hello Fresh. It’s a long episode, but this was a long season y’all. Bad accents abound!

    Classic, iconic, if you love (or honestly even if you hate) musical theatre, casting decisions, or *choices* we cannot recommend this movie enough. What's more meta than a documentary about the audition process for a Broadway show about audition processes? Is there any element of A Chorus Line that we actually enjoy? How does a show even make it to Broadway in the first place? What makes a perfect Oscars acceptance speech? And why oh why does Nastacia wear that wig to the final auditions?! Look, we may have melted down a bit in this episode but we DID get to finally share our many, many thoughts about Tyce Diorio!

    This week we’re getting into the reality show with the wildest prize of all time, MTV’s Legally Blonde: The Musical — The Search For Elle Woods. PB Teen is back in a big way this episode as we journey on back to 2007, where necks were constantly covered in Tiffany necklaces and tiny scarves. What are the ethics of haircuts on television? How many people were drunk during the production? Did the right person win this show? What is the spirit of Elle Woods and why do none of these girls seem to have it! Look, Bailey won’t always have the big hat to make us fall in love with her, but MTV will apparently never learn to test their mics before shooting the big belted numbers. Honestly, we'd be down for a reboot of this show whenever Broadway is ready to reopen!

    “Here’s my impression of Aaron Sorkin, ‘Actually, that’s Robert Frost.’” Two (begrudging) Aaron Sorkin fans talk about Molly’s Game for over an hour! Can we go longer than 20 minutes without talking about the West Wing? No! But that’s okay, it’s his superior piece of work. Is Aaron Sorkin’s favorite word ‘deposition’? Does an increasingly heavy eyeliner indicate a growing addiction to drugs? If you abuse your children, but they’re all hyper-achievers, does that justify the abuse? Overall we would prefer less boring law stuff and more poker, please! Plus, a story about music sororities at Ithaca college, why Seabiscuit is Lucy’s favorite sick movie, the bops on the Runaway Bride soundtrack, and a weird amount of information about the coffee props in Gilmore Girls.

That honor instead goes to the 10 gallons of milk and seven loaves of bread they're buying. The wholesomeness of these women cannot be overstated and the importance of women discovering & nurturing their hobbies is truly a delight to see. How much does Claire hate eating things out of the freezer? How magical is it to grow up in the woods? Why isn’t there a Super Saver near us? When did cereal and snacks get so political?

This week we’re discussing some of our favorite ways to waste time on the internet and it turns out, we only managed to get to one topic because there’s just *so much* to cover when it comes to the instagram persona of one, Caroline Calloway. What’s it like to have a subreddit dedicated to your every move? Does Caroline allow us to get to the broader questions about what it means to live your life online? Are white women the last acceptable group to scam? We didn’t even mention the messiness of the lack of respect around other peoples boundaries, the time she taped leaves to a dead tree in her apartment, or her obsession with going to spin, pilates, and saunas. We’re chatting about toxic friendships, the danger of con artists, and how art is priced (special thanks to Dan for walking us through the art world!). For a fun game, take a shot every time Claire says “quote, unquote”. Reference links!

This week we watched A League Of Their Own and got to talk all about women's sports and why they should be appreciated in culture way more than they currently are. Madonna is in this movie (and makes a surprisingly good comedy duo with 90s icon, Rosie O'Donnell), Tom Hanks is very good at yelling, and we just love a team dynamic. Also, Geena Davis has a perfect jawline and more movies should be about sisterly dynamics/rivalries. Justice for Kit!

    It's Nancy Meyers week over at vulture.com, but Nancy's daughter didn't find all of the reporting to be...flattering. So we're popping in for a mid-week recap of what went down between Rachel Handler and Hallie Meyers-Shyer on social media. It's absolutely worth checking out all of Rachel's articles and interviews--especially if you're a Nancy fan. While Hallie has gone private on instagram all of the screenshots are still up on twitter if you want to reference the primary sources. While we could go on and on about Nancy Meyers in general, we wanted to focus on the role of social media, nepotism in hollywood, and why sometimes these thoughts could be better off sent to a group text.
