I Totally Paused

I Totally Paused is back and we will be recapping the most iconic moments from the 12th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! The difference between this and usual Bravo podcasts is that our co-host Jessica has never watched Bravo and has no background information on the ladies or their drama from past seasons. She is coming in with fresh eyes and no preconceived notions. So if you've never watch RHOBH before this is for you too! Time Stamp: 0:00 - Intro to RHOBH and Erika Jayne's legal woes 10:00 - Recap begins Please follow us: Twitter: @totallypausepod @siomonroe @jesspausedpod Instagram: @totallypausedpod @siomonroe @jesspausedpod

This week, we watched the new HBO Max documentary “What Happened, Brittany Murphy?” so you don't have to.

We are back! We have a very special interview with, as Siobhan stated, our most accomplished guest of all time! Voice Actor and 90's child icon Justin Shenkarow! You may be familiar hearing his voice on the iconic Nickelodeon cartoon series Hey Arnold! Siobhan and Jess talk to Justin about his past roles and we get some fun tea on some of your favorite 90's and early 00's actors and shows! Follow us!

A look back at last year's episode about the conservatorship of Britney Spears. Stay tuned for an updated episode later this weekend!

In this week's episode, Jess, Siobhan & Matt Shell finish their discussion of the movie musical Dreamgirls and wonder how it's possible that Eddie Murphy didn't win an Oscar with just one look.

Siobhan and Bob (our guest on Witches be Bitches: The Craft Episode) have a fun conversation about the Birds of Prey movie, Harley Quinn's origins, comics, and Batman: The Animated Series. So basically a very nerdy episode. Enjoy!

Matt Shell is back to talk about the 2006 movie musical, Dreamgirls. Jess & Matt use every acting class term they've ever learned to explain why Jennifer Hudson didn't deserve an Oscar and we all learn new ways to call someone a whore.

Friend of the pod Steve Couras is back, this time with our good friend Rhiannon, to talk about possibly the most 90's-tastic films of all time and certainly one of the most iconic soundtracks, Empire Records. Is Empire Records an underrated classic or just a soundtrack in search of a movie? You decide.  TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide, Substance Abuse, Gun Violence  Follow us on social media!

Better late than never! This episode was recorded last October and never released because of sound recording issues. It still isn't perfect but it was too good to hold onto any longer. So enjoy Jess, Siobhan & Steve Couras breaking down Scream 2!

In the first episode of our new segment, what's the 411, we spill the current tea on Matthew Lillard, Laurie Loghlin & Stacy Dash. We also talk about the new Babysitter's Club show and Jess explains how Bob Saget changed the way she parents. Enjoy!

In this episode of I Totally Paused, Jess & Siobhan sit down with one of their top special people, Matt Shell, to talk about his 90's crush, Jodie Sweetin. They discuss Jodie's struggle with addiction and inspirational redemption story as well as Matt's viral ode to teachers during the pandemic. Enjoy!

Back for your enjoyment, our deep dive into the anti-diva, Jennifer Garner, with entertainer Chris Banks!

As promised, our epic 3 hour long Mean Girls episode is back, in all of it's glory, as one episode! Enjoy it, and then go check out our guest, Sonia, on her podcast Rewind The Love!

In this episode, Troy McEady, host of the podcast Dunzo, helps us break down the classic Never Been Kissed - or, as we like to call it, “an adorable package with a problematic bow.” Follow troy on all social media: @troy_mceady #amplifymelanatedvoices

Jess & Siobhan are back with writer and performer, Chris Banks to talk about America's true sweetheart, Jennifer Garner! Chris breaks down Alias while the girls deep dive into the Ben Affleck of it all. You'll also get to hear about the time James Lipton almost had Chris removed from Inside The Actor's Studio! Enjoy!

This week, Jess & Siobhan reminisce about the 90s most reluctant heartthrob, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. From Home Improvement to The Lion King and beyond, every single 90s girl had a crush on JTT, whether he liked it or not. In addition to looking back at JTT's career, Jess & Siobhan discuss other 90s teen girl staples, including teen magazines and those iconic milk ads.  Follow us on social media!

Jess and Siobhan recorded their first episode in quarantine with friend of the pod, Rylee from Snap Back To Reality! They dive into the dark relationship between Nick and Aaron Carter and imagine a world in which Nick Carter became Justin Timberlake and Aaron Carter lived his best life on Broadway.

We're back, back, back again! Siobhan and Jessica open the episode with a quick apology for ghosting their listeners and a run down on what to expect from Season 2! In this episode the girls break down the teenage years of a man who we like to call the Prince of our Hearts. We also delve into some of the current (from a couple weeks ago) news on the royal family, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and our thoughts on them taking a step back from royal life. We're still taking suggestions for Season 2 topics so please slide into the DMs and comments with your thoughts!

The girls haven't been able to get it together to record new episodes, but fear not, because we've pulled one out of the archives in the spirit of Thanksgiving! We're giving you a new episode, be thankful! Last July(!) we recorded an episode on Jawbreaker where in it, we ponder if girls dressed up for high school in the 90's, if you would find it cool if a celebrity went to high school with you, and try to come up with all the charges Liz Purr's girl squad would have been faced with throughout this 90's gem.

**Disclaimer, the audio troubles don't last long so hang on and they get fixed during the episode. We're on an audio journey, what can we say? The pod is a little Jessie Spano because Siobhan is so excited, and Jessica is so scared that we're doing scary movies for the rest of the month! The girls are joined by occult expert Bob Hopely, host of the upcoming podcast I See The Devil, to break down this classic 90's flick that was only rated R because... bitches be witches.

The finale of our epic 2 part episode on Mean Girls is finally here! Part two appropriately picks up as the girls are getting into their sexy (and not so sexy) Halloween costumes! This leads us to discussing costumes of course, but we also get into talent show memories, party proofing your house, cheating coworkers, and parallels to Jawbreaker. Maybe the most important thing is that Sonia unlocks the mystery of what a second cousin once removed is! Thanks again to Sonia from Rewind the Love for joining us!

Happy Mean Girls Day! We've been saving this epic episode for awhile and its so grool that we could release it on… whats today? Oh yeah October 3rd! You're probably not surprised this turned into an episode longer than your mom's chest hair and we had to make this our very first two parter! New friend of the pod Sonia from the Rewind the Love Podcast is joining us with her wit and very intelligent musings on a range of subjects like the Mean Girls musical (Jessica can't stop talking about how good it is), cool moms, cheese fries, American Girl Dolls, crushes who turned out to be gay, and so much more!

**Only one mic picked up which is why the sound isn't the best, thanks for listening! This episode is about the Amanda Bynes contemporary classic, She's the Man, but its also about so much more! Friend of the Pod Blake joins the ladies as they discuss the beginnings of both Amanda and Channing Tatum's careers (and obviously Amanda's rougher years), music copyright lawsuits, and the Broadway show they saw together, which leads them into musicals that failed and succeeded in their film adaptations.

On their 10th episode, Siobhan and Jess are joined by Rylee from Snapped Back to Reality to talk about a slice of 2000's reality, MTV's Cribs! What other episode could we cover but when Mariah Carey graciously let us into her NYC home? The ladies also talk the history of Cribs and who was frauding us by using rented homes and cars, why Instagram makes this show unnecessary today, and other famous moments from the series. So take a seat on the chaise lounge in your kitchen and enjoy!

For this week's deep dive into Kevin Smith's Mallrats, Siobhan and Jessica realized they needed a mall expert to come on and help them break it all down. Who else but co-host of Mall Talk, Emily Faye! Emily graciously lends her mall expertise and and the eye of a first-time viewer on the 1995 cult classic, which left us divided as a group.

This week Siobhan and Jessica are super excited to invite singer Margie Mays (American Idol) on to discuss the first Disney Original TV series to be made into a feature length film, The Lizzie McGuire Movie! On this extra special (and extra long) episode, we join Lizzie and Co on a trip to Rome and truly learn what dreams are made of. As always we get into fun facts about the movie, Lizzie's fashion, evil blonde haired children, Margie's odd Cameo requests and so much more! Thanks to Margie for being an amazing guest, and be sure to check out her new single “Over Again” that we play at the top of the episode, now available everywhere!

This week on a very special episode of I Totally Paused, Siobhan and Jessica invite their music correspondent Logan to help them break down the #FreeBritney movement. They discuss the events in Britney's life that led to the 2008 Conservatorship, and explain how it wasn't as simple as “She went crazy and shaved her head.” Also in the discussion, the MTV VMAs, the MTV documentary For the Record, unreleased tracks, and parallels to Marilyn Monroe. Special thanks to the podcast Britney's Gram for giving us permission to play the voicemail they received which kicked off the movement.

This week, I Totally Paused welcomes their first celebrity guest, American Idol finalist and Tony Nominee Constantine Maroulis! Siobhan and Jess were so excited to have him on that they did most of the talking. Don't worry! Constantine was still able to get in a few words regarding his time on American Idol, performing on The Tonys, and his upcoming acting projects. (He even sang a few notes!) Thanks so much to Constantine for being so generous with his time and so patient with baby podcasters/first time interviewers! Follow Constantine on Instagram! @constantinemaroulis www.constantinemaroulis.com Instagram: @totallypausedpod Twitter: @totallypausepod Jess: @jesspausedpod Siobhan: @siomonroe

This week, Jess & Siobhan unpack one of the most criminally underrated movies of the 90's, That Thing You Do. They may not be able to agree on which one of The Wonders is the cutest, but they definitely agree that "going the dentist" is probably code for hooking up and that Tom Hanks is a gift of which we are not worthy.

This week, Siobhan and Jess break down the YouTube Premium documentary The Boyband Con. They are all at once deeply shaken by Aaron Carter, stirred by Ashley Parker Angel and charmed by Dave Holmes.

This week, Siobhan and Jess are so excited to welcome their first guest, Troy McEady, host of The Smush Room. The trio deep dives into the film Never Been Kissed and realizes that it has always been problematic. They debate whether or not the hot guy is actually hot, talk gym class memories and take a side trip to the Loehmann's fitting room. (Avert your eyes!)

In their second episode, Siobhan and Jessica break down The Notebook on the eve of its 15th Anniversary! They debate if Noah is problematic or just has BDE, imagine a happy ending for Martha Shaw, and once again go off topic to discuss the Disney Harry Potter park that never was.

Welcome to a new podcast, I Totally Paused! In our debut episode, childhood besties Siobhan and Jess take on the classic teen 90's movie Clueless! They deep dive into the world of one of the most important figures of any girl growing up in the 90s, Cher Horowitz. They recap the movie, dish fun facts, and go off topic about things like the Warner Bros Store and why you shouldn't take the fall when your boyfriend drives without a license.
