Bobby, Geoff, return guest and "Babes Watch Buffy" cohost Anna Jensen, and mutual friend Mindi *REDACTED* all sit down for a longer chat about "Fifty Shades Darker" than the movie probably deserves. Talking points include a comparison of Christian Grey to Donald Trump, a debate about whether pommel-horse sex would have been a bridge too far, and the odd fact that director James Foley also filmed the adaptation of David Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross."

Hello gentle listeners, we have some things to talk about with you. Firstly, last night Donald Trump was voted the president of the United States. We understand not all of our listeners live in the United States, but we feel this is a world issue and I hope our listeners in other countries will know this is not our president. Anna and I as women who live in the United States feel a bit lost and like we are thought of as something to control. We are here to say we are not. No people are able to be controlled and we stand with all of the LGBTQ community, every person of color, any Muslim American, any female, and just any person feeling like they are not vauled. We are here to tell you that you are vauled and this is our special segment for you. So Anna and I, our Buffy babes, and friends wanted to say that we love you and we ask you to hang in there and keep on being you. The sound quality on this may be a little off on this one because we wanted to get this our right away for you, babes. So thank you and we love you and we are here for you. #iamher http://www.upswingadvocates.org/ Upswing Advocates provides individualized, affordable, accessible services that support and strengthen the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA) community across Chicago and beyond.
Bobby and Geoff are joined by their first guest, Cate Brecht of Babes Watch Buffy, for a discussion of "The Girl on the Train," the book experience vs. the movie experience, the not-altogether-successful attempt to cast classically beautiful Emily Blunt as a frumpy alcoholic, her character's series of unfortunate decisions, the scariness of blackouts, and hypothetical ghost sequels.

It's the official first episode of Babes Watch Buffy, Gentle Listeners! Stay tuned for smoother editing and sound mixing in the future, but we hope you like. XOXO -Anna & Cate So just to put out a Buffy correction: James Spader is not the main heart throb of Pretty in Pink, but I still standby that he could have been in my universe. He was pretty dreamy. -Cate Also we apologize about the sound quality and the ruffling of the pages (that is all me ruffling through my notes). This is a new adventure for us and we are working on mastering all elements of the art of podcasting. Thanks for your understanding, Gentle Listeners. Suggested talking points - female horror heroines, muppet baby hillary swank, air bud, "vamp" nail polish, james spader sexual tension, useless adults, teenage hornballs
