Pop Therapy

Today I am joined by my best friend, Amanda, via Zoom! Over the years, we have suggested many shows, movies, and artists to one another and have been able to dissect them all to no end! So today, we let you all in on some of the things in pop culture that we have both loved (and sometimes even hated). Try to keep up, we go a mile a minute! Follow Amanda on Instagram @effortlyss.rose and #BillandMandysUSAdventure

As Frank Ocean once said, "If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Seriously. Punch them in the face and go get some ice cream." While I don't condone violence, I do agree that getting out your frustrations when it comes to matters of the heart is necessary, however, I recommend music therapy! In today's episode, I give my top five heartbreak songs to get you through those rough patches. So instead of catching an assault charge; catch these tunes, grab that mint chocolate chip, and know that when it comes to matters of the heart, you are not alone. Music Videos for Songs: 5.

Today I am joined by one of my best friends, Maria, and we talk about a show we both know and love very much: F.R.I.E.N.D.S! In addition to random things about the show we love, we also reveal our individual top five favorite episodes and as per usual, we end with a song (sorry in advance). Enjoy!

After a brief hiatus, I am BACK! And today I am talking about those fictional boys of television who are so good at being so bad. I break down the top six men who (in my opinion) give bad boys a very good name.

As most of the country deals with being quarantined, today I try and make your foreseeable future at home a bit more enjoyable with recommendations of original content from Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix. In these uncertain times, one thing you should be able to count on is good, mind-numbing television.

On today's episode, I give a brief update on the ending of this season's Bachelor and the hot mess that evolved on the finale. Next, I talk about the "best" worst movies. What makes a good bad movie? What qualifications lead a potentially good movie down a dark and twisted road? I go through my personal top five "best" worst movies: why I love them so much and why most people think I'm nuts!

On this episode of Pop Therapy, I go down the deep and winding hole that is the world of Bachelor Nation. From The Bachelor to Bachelorette, with bits of Paradise and others thrown in between, I discuss what the franchise has meant to me, my opinions on seasons past, where I see the franchise headed, and who my favorites (and least favorites) have been. Cuddle up with some chocolate, rosé, and maybe a pillow (in case you get sleepy) as I explore the twisted, ridiculous, amazing world of Bachelor Nation.

Sister, sister in the house! In the home studio today is my sister, Laura! On today's edpisode we talk about the shows we watched and loved growing up that were part of the T.G.I.F., One Saturday Morning, and TNBC lineup. We try and sing many of the theme songs from these iconic shows (spoiler alert: we did not do a good job) and we explore the impact these shows had on us. It is an episode full of nostalgia and many, many corny jokes between two sisters. And don't worry, we kept the arguing to a minimum so that our mom didn't threaten to pull the car over and make us walk home. Check out Laura's amazing hair sylist skills at @HairByLauraMurphy on Instagram!

After a short but sweet vacation in Los Angeles, I break down how my trip went, my past experiences with the City of Angels, and share a fantastic story about two semi-old broads getting jiggy with it. I then reminisce on my encounters with celebrities both big and small and end with a rant, because who doesn't love a good, bitchy monologue?!

Rom-coms. We all know them, some of us love them. Today, I talk about my personal favorite romantic comedy movies and discuss why they're great, what they mean to me, and even share some embarrassing anecdotes (and a rap) which may give some insight into why I am the way I am. Sit back and enjoy as we laugh together, cry together, and commiserate over all the movies that have touched hearts and souls.

Today we dive into all things underrated and under appreciated in the world of Pop Culture. From movies, to tv shows, to a couple of hotties, and finally to my nonsensical taste in music. Hop on board and see if you agree: are these things not loved enough or am I just projecting?!

A weekly recap of the top ten moments in celebrity and entertainment news to make you the most knowledgeable person at the water cooler, Starbucks line, or while making small talk with your boo's mom. The hot tea is waiting, go on and take a sip.

Today I tackle the topics in pop culture that I just don't get! From Ariana, to Channing, with even a little Potter and some Housewives thrown in the mix, I break down what I don't get and why I don't get it, because even know-it-alls can't know it all.

Let's dive deep on the important things in life: boys. Real-life ones are a pain, so today I focus on the boys that stole my heart on television and movie screens growing up. Do I sound boy crazy? Probably. But have we all been there before with those unattainable, unrealistic, slightly maniacal crushes on celebrities or the characters they played? To quote the great Tina Fey, “You betcha”!

Welcome, friends! Well, I hope to become friends with all of you! On this inaugural episode of Pop Therapy, I explain a little bit about who I am and a lot of why I am obsessed with all things pop culture. Sit back, relax, and prepare to be mildly entertained for the next seventeen minutes! And no co-pay ever needed for Pop Therapy!
