It's another very special installment of our "Only Girls: IRL" series, and this time Natalia is in the hot seat. We discuss her experience growing up evangelical– from the giving, positive example set by her parents to seeing people speak in tongues. This episode is deeply personal, deeply philosophical, and deeply blasphemous probably, but only God can judge us... And by God we mean Oprah. NEXT WEEK: We have a very special SEASON 1 FINALE discussing both the song and movie, "What A Girl Wants," so if you have any questions or comments on those send them in! Also feel free to send any suggestions or questions you have for our last episode of the year. You can reach us at onlygirlspod@gmail.com or 903.35.GIRLS.

We go deep into our experiences as fat women, discussing our complicated relationships with body positivity in both in pop culture and within our own cultural identities.

It's the episode you've all maybe been waiting for, we're discussing Gone Girl (2014) starring Rosamund Pike, Ben Affleck, an extremely well-cast Tyler Perry, and an extremely miscast Neil Patrick Harris. We talk about how the sensation that was labeled as chick-lit turned into an artsy melodrama directed by the guy who made Fight Club. Is Amy Dunne feminist or anti-feminist? Would you also fake your own death if you were married to Ben Affleck? Listen and find out! As always, subscribe and rate us on iTunes!
