Comedian Mary Beth Barone welcomes guests (mostly Kyra Whiteside) to Mildly Offensive where they discuss a movie/tv show and make the ultimate ruling about whether or not it's good for women. They usually start with some pop culture topics, musings on the human existence, and whatever memes are on t…
Jungle 2 Jungle ever heard of it?! MB felt like she was in the jungle when the biggest bug she ever saw crawled under her door. This is the first time we tried to tackle a movie that didn't exactly have... what do you call it... a plot! It was interesting! And the movie was good. The movie being The Miseducation of Cameron Post. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to Drag His Ass NYC Tickets to It Takes One Tickets to Drag His Ass LA
Well well well... look who it is! MB and Kiki. Follow @draghisass on Instagram first and foremost. Additionally, the end of 2018 was so bad and we are happy it's not the end of 2018 anymore :) Are we a self-help positivity podcast?! Haha no. MB does her nails and took a call during the podcast (which we edited out). Wait also... Netflix's Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.

It's been a while!!! We out here. Kiki and MB are here to discuss: the viral tweet, the Met Gala, flamingo stuff everywhere, and the 'Flix romcom Someone Great. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to Drag His Ass NYC Tickets to It Takes One Tickets to Drag His Ass LA
Here's a secret: we recorded this before Bounce! But MB mislabeled the ep numbers :) I love show business! Insane to think we spent this episode discussing MB's voice, walrus suicide, Scarlett Johansson Jost Martinez, and TULLY!!!! Enjoy and follow us, buy tickets, etc you know the deal. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to Drag His Ass LA
Romantic comedy? More like romantic DRAMA-dy!!! Bounce is not a funny movie. Where is Adele (not Adele proper but Adele from Blue is the Warmest Color) where is her baby? We're not sure! Also MB complains about a commercial callback. Karaoke recap included. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to The Exhibition
Is MB developing vocal fry? IDFK! I'm not even really sure what that is (I have an idea but I'm not sure). In this ep, we agree that podcasts are cool! Boys are canceled but going to the movies alone is NOT. Don't be mean on a phone interview PPL. Also Ed Hardy! We delve into Jordan Peel's US so "shut up and listen" - Princess Diaries (2001). Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to The Exhibition
JUSTICE FOR BILLY BUSH! Kiki is back from Amsterdam with all the tea! We get closure on MB's Hinge date with the John Mayer stan (more details inside). Also, Twitter took down MB's ice bucket challenge and they continue to flag her account. Kiki would like to go on the record as saying that she hates the Iraq War. What you need to know is: we're talking about WIDOWS (2018) and it's a perfect film. See it immediately and then come back here and listen to the podcast. Thank you. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to The Exhibition
Hey freaks!! Jake is here filling in for Kiki :) On the pod we delve into: the gay mixer, dating (lol), mental health days, and the correct steps toward becoming a celebrity. Then guess what??? We talk about the Netflix original film Triple Frontier. It's wacky I don't know just listen. Mary Beth's Instagram Jake's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to The Exhibition
There's never been a better time to be Lucas Hedges! Boy Erased? Yes, he sure was. We discuss many topics ranging from Monica Lewinsky's hair cape, sexual assault, A24's Midsommar, and Kiki asks some pointed questions. That's all I have to say about it!!! Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to The Exhibition
Here's the thing: we've got a short lil SNACK of an episode for you regarding Fighting with my Family. We hardly talked about it in the first installment of this two-parter so finally we give you what you've been waiting for (losing sleep over, even!). Also, we dissect camp vs parody, which is a very important distinction. We're back next week with a full ep about Boy Erased. Daddy Lucas Hedges? Mhm. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to Drag His Ass
Oscars recap? Racism? Martin Niemöller's famous poem? Yes! Plus we talk about Velvet Buzzsaw, Isn't it Romantic, and Mid 90s. We TEASE YA with talk of Fighting with my Family but honestly... we don't even talk about that until the next ep. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to Drag His Ass
OK so it's time to go back to the year 1998. When men were men! And eyebrows were... questionable. We'll review the hit film Sliding Doors after we discuss MB's theory about how reality shows are impacting behavior and Kiki's living situation. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to Drag His Ass
It's us! Lana Del Ray. We talk a little about A Star is Born and the Oscars in general. We will miss Jennifer Lawrence at this year's ceremony, as she's busy solving gun violence and getting engaged. We also review Kiki's deal with the devil (her parents!!!). MB and Kiki really hop around in this one and hey this is our new format which is literally JUST that it's shorter. Bone Apple Tea :) Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to Drag His Ass
We recorded this AGES ago so what did we talk about? Jeans, chips, Priyanka Chopra, and the War in Vietnam among other things. AND FINALLY THE HOLIDAY! We got more eps coming and these include our new half hour format. Stay tuned. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to Drag His Ass
It us!!! Kiki and MB!!!! We're here at the smile to go on Lexington :) and it's raining but that's not gonna stop us from voting OR from chatting. MB was even a victim of attempted voter suppression and a victim of... boys. Thesis: why would anything good ever happen? Kiki also got played but by a friend, not a man and then by a man. Anyway!! The gals move on to discuss living legend JANE FONDA! THE ORIGINAL WOKE BAE. She's pretty profoundly amazing actually you should prob watch the docu. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to Different Energies
Sometimes... you just wanna gab with your friend! AND GUESS WHAT MIMI? WE DID! Kiki and MB come to the pod to talk about nothing in particular. I think we're all just kinda going through it right now. A bird died in front of Kiki :/ is ASOS' expedited shipping really expedited? Who knows! I hate the mail. MB watched a buncha Netflix specials so we get into that a bit, spray tans... what else? Oh just listen and enjoy!!!! Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to The Exhibition
Kiki has to WORK but MB is here with a very special guest!!! EVA WOOLRIDGE. We start with a deep breath :) and then get into Mary Beth's love of segues but not Segways. We get the lowdown on Eva's organization, Red Dot Campaign, which provides period products to underserved communities. Red Dot also hosts events, and you should go! The gals also touch on fuck boys and how the Department of Health is trying to erase trans people. FUCK THAT! And finally, Eva and MB unpack A Star is Born. Bradley Cooper!

To the disappointment of some folks in front row, this is a LIVE EPISODE. I feel like "live" has too many meanings but in this case, we recorded it in front of an audience. There was a lovely group of tourists from middle America who thought they were seeing a stand-up show but you know what, I think they had a blast! Ali Kolbert joins MB and Kiki to talk about The Sex and the City movie(s) and it's a hoot!! Ali gives us the rundown about Kanye's latest antics and they dish on the hot guy from MB's flight to Chicago, Drake+Chris Brown, and astrology. Oh whatever stop reading and just listen to it!!! Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Ali's Instagram
It's us (Kiki and MB)!!!!! MB comes in even on her sick day and she's ready to spill tea with Kiki, etc etc how many ways can we say this (I'm running out!). Kiki forgot her smokey eye palette :) We're talkin' Kanye on SNL, Scientology's Elisabeth Moss, Carey Mulligan's organs, HBO's Insecure, and the man who keeps tapping the glass outside the studio. Kiki's HBO trial ran out so if anyone has a pw, let us know. Who is Timmy T dating? We know. Also, Ansel "Take Class" Elgort will be returning to the big screen in West Side Story. Then, of course, we get into Yorgos Lanthimos' new feature, The Favourite. This movie is WACKY! A funny, twisted period piece starring Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, and Olivia Colman (whose character, the queen, has GOUT). Watch Single Parents on ABC!!! Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Femme Fest Live Podcast Recording with Ali Kolbert
We are live! I mean... we recorded this but we were live at the time. Tuesday 9/25 was such an annoying day bc it rained and everything sucked! But that didn't stop Kiki and MB from dishing a per usual. Sorry we missed last week the studio was under construction. We talked about how guys always have the upper hand (until marriage), the Emmy's, straight men, uhhhh also MB wants to move to LA, etc. A Simple Favor was good! We recommend if you like good clothing, hair capes, twists, turns, etc. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Femme Fest Live Podcast Recording with Ali Kolbert
Dear Freak Bitches, We're baaaack!! What do words really mean anymore? Kiki and MB don't discuss this on the podcast episode. But what they do discuss is Mac Miller's untimely passing, suicide, Steve Carrell, TIFF (general) and more! Also did you know we're living in a post-comedy world? That's what I heard. We also touch on some Emmy's stuff and then FINALLY the masterpiece that is HBO's Insecure. It's p fun I guess :) Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram Tickets to MB's show on 9/27 Tickets to the Exhibition on 9/29
Jake is back!! MB's ex stops by again and... we love!!! In this ep we get into some serious issues like drinking alcohol, having opinions, and how MB really needed to paint her nails that night (but she didn't actually end up painting them until days later). The general public is ready for A Star is Born, which received a 7 minute standing ovation at a film festival (that name of which escapes me). MB, Kiki, and Jakey also do their birth charts according to which Brady Bunch character they are before getting into the Amy Winehouse documentary (Jake has yet to see). BUT the really tea is actually about The Devil Wears Prada. ARE HER FRIENDS THE ASSHOLES? Lol yeah.
Jake Morris on the podcast?! Johnny, Johnny, yes, Papa!!! MB's ex is in the building and it's a real gag of an episode. Troye Sivan's album, Peter Kavinsky, AND a Chalamet update?! We talked about too many dudes on this podcast. And one more: Drew Michael's HBO special aptly named...... Drew Michael! Are IMAX screens too big? We unpack. Also a Little Women casting update! And furthermore, the pre-9/11 classic Charlie's Angels holds up sort of mostly!! Great for women tbh :) We totally forgot about the soundtrack lol.

WOW August is almost over but we still out here (and we watched the VMAs if you can believe). We aren't sure about Asia Argento's denial but like... who could never be sure! Robin William's docu, All the Boys I've Loved Before, and attachment styles are also on the agenda. BUT WAIT! The big topic on this ep is CRAZY, RICH, ASIANS! And yes, we stan. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram
We stan a coming of age film! Kyra and MB are all over the map, what with MB's plan to make a very personal ASMR video, and Kyra's recent trip to Lord & Taylor. Colin Jost's claim about "fun" movies winning awards has everyone up in arms. Also on the agenda: Jumanji, Blue Jasmine, and where IS Timmy Chalamet? The real meat is Blockers, which... we liked :) Fingers crossed we get some full frontal nudity on Insecure this season. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram
Kyra and MB are here to relive their wild Saturday night just for you!!! Get a behind the scenes look at their insane text message conversation #bts and get all the hot takes on Jeremy Piven's budding comedy career. The gals did their homework assignment: read the screenplay for Life Itself and you know they're gonna spill on that, too. This is all before they dive (deep) into Boots Riley's first feature film, Sorry to Bother You. And what a film it was! Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram
Kiki and MB welcome their first STRAIGHT WHITE MALE to the pod! What an honor for Henry Van Roden :) The gals + guy talk about mercury, Michael Che's beef with comedy critics, and the masterpiece Eighth Grade by Bo Burnham.

Can you believe we're back at it again? AND KIKI WOKE UP W THE BIRDS TO BREATHE THE SAME AIR AS ARMIE HAMMER. She did that. Then we get into Jonah Hill sightings, how nothing good ever happens (and why would it), our dream cast for the future film about the Thai soccer players, and Greta Gerwig's Little Women (which is basically Tag but for girls). I never remember if I write these in the first or third person but in this one, I am writing in the first person :) Oh also! Bend it Like Beckham HOLDS UP! Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram
KIKI AND MB ARE HERE BABES!!!! Lakeith Stanfield, John Mayer, currency, and national treasure Toni Collette are all up for discussion in our 29th episode. Turns out Muriel's Wedding is a classic. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram

Hereditary spoilers a head (if you've seen the movie you get it)!!!!!!! Kiki and MB finally saw a movie together and it's a wild one. They debrief on the A24 film, MB's ghost from Christmas past, Pete/Ariana, A Start is Born, etc etc just listen ok. Mary Beth's Instagram Kyra's Instagram
