Chick Shit

When did you lose your virginity? What was it like? How do you define loss of virginity — is it only when you P a V? What does it feel like…. warm apple pie, perhaps? Were you raised to treat your virginity like a sacred flower you had to protect at all costs, or did you receive a more practical crash course? Join LJ and Di as they break down the experience of losing one’s virginity and define the bases with the, ahem, seminal 1999 film American Pie. They also coin the slogan that will take the 2022 tchotchke scene by storm: Life, Love, Libido.

Nipple tassels, sparkly G strings, and dollar bills… where do all these things come together in magical glittery harmony along with some insane displays of athletic ability? That’s right: strip clubs. Join LJ and Di as they break down the movie that sent women into heat in the early 2010s, Magic Mike. Have LJ and Di gone to strip clubs, do they care if their partners go, and where do you get the best burger in Philly (if you have been day drinking and your standards are low)? All of this and more while fan-girling over Channing Tatum’s dance skills.

Have you ever found your mind wandering to places that you never thought it would? Have you wondered why thoughts about self harm, sexually erotic or deviant behavior, harming others, or a whole host of other things come into your brain and feel nothing like you? LJ and Di have. Join them as they work through the first episode of the TV series Pure and discuss the topic of intrusive thoughts (and intrusive THOTs). Always remember: a thought is just a thought, and nothing more.

During this holiday season while everyone is busy with work, travel, and family, LJ and Di would like to take a minute to look back on some things they are thankful for this year, 2021: the year of LJ and Di (and Jack!). To do this, the only clear option is revisiting one of their favorite episodes: First Love. Quick, what color are Di’s eyes?! Hear about their first dates, first love, and witness their first pod fight over the greatest movie ever made, Love and Basketball.

Is anyone still wondering if LJ is Regina George? Wonder no more: she’s the worst. Have you ever found yourself seeking acceptance by sharing secrets or rumors? Or are you more the type who was being gossiped about? Di and LJ chat about the reasons behind why people feel the need to talk about people they know (and don’t know). Join them as they break down The Office episode Gossip. Did Di already guess what role LJ played? Join them to find out!

Are you too big to fit in *here*? Have you ever had an unidentified stain on your tasteful leopard-print club dress? Have you ever touched another woman’s fake boobs in a bar bathroom? Find out why LJ and Jack have loved this movie for many years. They teach Di a few new sexual terms and recount their early twenties in the gay bar scene in Atlanta. They also finally explain Derail Dollars! Come join them for Derailed December while they discuss The Sweetest Thing with Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Selma Blair and how it shaped their lives for the better.

Early in this podcast, LJ discussed the phrase “I don’t want the Sprite” in passing. Today’s episode gets into the nitty gritty of what legally constitutes consent (as well as what doesn’t). It’s a tough topic and a tough movie, but it also brings to light how much of the burden lies on the victim, who very often is a woman. Join LJ and Di as they break down Promising Young Woman and discuss what consent looks like in today’s world.

Do you find yourself more aware of your body size and weight around the holidays? Do you notice the onslaught of fad diets and Black Friday workout deals? Do you ever stop and think about how heavy it is to be a woman and live within societal expectations ? LJ and Di have. Join them as they break down a heartbreaking episode of the 80’s sitcom Designing Women. Can the streets of Atlanta handle Suzanne and her Mercedes’? Tune in to find out.

Did you ever find yourself waiting for your Prince (or Princess) Charming to just show up and solve your problems? Perhaps you’ve fantasized a break-into-your-home meet cute? LJ has. Join LJ and Di as they chat through the VERY unrealistic standards that these romance movies set for us at a young age, using the Netflix original A Very a country Christmas. What actor sets LJ off this time? Listen to find out!

When you were 13, what was your life plan? Did you believe you would be a teacher, rockstar, accountant, or astronaut? Did you play MASH with your friends to learn your future and how many kids you’d have with Brian Littrell of BSB? LJ and Di did. On this week’s episode, they break down the realities of growing up with the absolute greatest film of all time ever, the Jennifer Garner-led 13 Going on 30. Join them as they discuss the realities of being thirty, flirty, and thriving.
