This week, Kaley and Sarah discuss High Fidelity, the film adaptation of Nick Hornby's novel about a misanthropic record store owner.

Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames Clubhouse: @kaleyames @sarahsahagian

This week, Kaley and Sarah examine whether The Oscars' annual awards show has held up. A parade of fancy rich people dressed in designer attire, the show is certainly a spectacle. But it also has a history of racism and sexism - problems that haven't gone away! The co-hosts discuss where The Academy Awards go wrong, and how they might stay relevant by changing things up in a meaningful way. Chat with us! Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames Clubhouse: @kaleyames @sarahsahagian

This week, Sarah and Kaley explore the most problematic teen movie of the 1990s, Never Been Kissed.

This week, Sarah and Kaley tackle 2000s fashion, in all its low-waisted, boot cut, glittery glory.

Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames Clubhouse: @kaleyames @sarahsahagian

This week, Kaley and Sarah discuss Girls. Created by - and starring - Lena Dunham, Girls was the show we were all discussing in 2012. Controversial from the start, the show inspired important discussions about topics like body shaming and female friendship; however, the cast was only marginally more diverse than The Mayflower. When Girls did represent people of colour, there were times it veered into the territory of casual racism. So, does Girls hold up? The answer is complicated! Chat with us! Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

This week, we tackle the frequently problematic relationship between The Mindy Project's Mindy Lahiri and Danny Castaellano.

Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

The Office's Pam and Jim graced our television screens for the better part of a decade. They were one of America's favourite Will They/Won't They? couples, but were these two cute kids from Scranton as wholesome as meets the eye? Was their love story romantic, or just plain toxic? Listen to Kaley and Sarah for the answers! Chat with us! Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

Our miniseries on iconic couples in popular culture kicks off with Ross and Rachel from Friends.

Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

This week, Sarah and Kaley discuss the Oscar-winning documentary Bowling for Columbine. It came out in 2002, and we sure as hell hope this dreck wouldn't have won the Oscar today. The co-hosts explain why this film (which is not really about the massacre at Columbine) is a disorganized mess that fails to address the real problems with America's gun culture. Chat with us! Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

This week, Kaley and Sarah dissect two iconic holiday songs released in 1994, Adam Sandler's "The Chanukah Song" and Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

This week, Kaley and Sarah discuss the 2005 holiday classic, The Family Stone.

Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

This week, Sarah and Kaley tackle The Social Network, a film that has aged worse than that tub of yogurt at the back of your bridge. The story of how social media giant Facebook was founded, this Sad White Boy Story excuses Mark Zuckerberg's bad behaviour while exalting him as the smartest Boy Genius ever to code. Knowing what we do now about how Facebook was used as a tool to elect Trump and start genocides, it's hard to feel sympathy for the multi billionaire who established the platform.

This week, Kaley and Sarah tackle the longest-running medical drama in American history, Grey's Anatomy. Created by Shonda Rhimes, millennials have literally grown up with this show. And you know what? Even after seventeen seasons, this series about the adventures of sexy doctors holds up reasonably well. Kaley and Sarah dissect what makes the surgeons of Seattle Grace Hospital so damn compelling. We'll discuss Meredith and Christina's moving friendship, how the show normalized queer romantic relationships on TV, and the excellent roles it offered BIPOC actors. Chat with us! Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

This week, the co-hosts tackle The West Wing, the TV series that turned a whole bunch of millennial teens into wannabe political staffers. But does creator Aaron Sorkin's vision of The West Wing hold up? Chat with us! Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

This week, Kaley and Sarah screen Bring It On, the classic teen movie from 2000. It's been two full decades since we first screened this cheerful (no pun intended) romp. The beloved film is still funny and infectious, but do its race and gender politics hold up in 2020? That's the question the co-hosts will debate and answer. Get your spirit fingers ready! It's going to be a stimulating episode... Chat with us! Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames

When Gossip Girl burst onto our screens in 2007, it became an instant obsession for both Kaley and Sarah. Based on the popular book series by Cecily von Zeigsar, the show had great DNA; it was produced by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of The OC fame. The story of coastal elite children - who hung out at burlesque clubs and wore overpriced footwear - was an explosive hit, spurning fashion trends and turning its stars, Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, into It Girls. But revisiting this series in the era of Me Too, it's obvious GG had flaws from the get-go. In this week's episode, Sarah and Kaley ask if Gossip Girl has held up, and ultimately explain why it hasn't... Chat with us! Twitter: @sarahsahagian @kaleyames Instagram: @theholdup_pod @kaleyames
