To one of our co-hosts, who grew up an only-child gay boy in the South, there's nothing scarier than 1) living with a roommate and 2) BOOBS. Single White Female (1992) dir.

In our first episode, we cover the not-so-gory-but-wonderfully- trashy "Single White Female", and why not? It has super Gemini-vibes (that's us, hellllooooo), a fantastic and bloody bitch fight at the end, and lots of wig action from both of our leading ladies. And, is it us, or is this a great segue into the autumn season?
Three cheers ain't enough for Carrie Nye as our Hart Girl "Laura Bancroft". And if anyone can get in touch with Don Roos about coming on this podcast, hit me up.

You can watch Whoopi and Mary-Louise Park sing "You Got It" to each other in the movie here. "I want / my heart back/ I want to feel everything again" is from Glück's "Blue Rotunda" from Averno. "I improvised; I never remembered" is from "Mother and Child" in Glück's The Seven Ages. Louise Glück's poem "The Untrustworthy Speaker" can be read online here, or in her book Ararat.

Should we be laughing at this? Is identity theft a joke? Can you really have it all? What is the theme song of Anna and Mary Kay’s sitcom of their life together? Is it just a shopping montage? Is this movie scary? Why is it pathetic that Allie is looking for a roommate? What does Allie do for a living? What does her software do exactly? Is it the same software that Cher in Clueless used to pick out her outfits in the morning before school? Why is Allie so infatuated with Sam? Why is the woman in every heterosexual relationship always more attractive than man? Do adults drink orange juice that way? Why does Hedy drink diet soda? Did everyone in the 90s wear nightgowns?
