Chick Shit

Teal for bridesmaids? You’re doomed. Olivia Newton John for your first dance? That idea is terrible, and also, you’re doomed. LJ and Di discuss these and other ways to know if your marriage is doomed on today’s episode. They fan girl over JLo in her masterpiece, The Wedding Planner, which might not be as timeless as they thought. Join them as they break down what this movie nailed about planning a wedding and what it totally left out. Also, remember to only eat the brown M&Ms because chocolate is already brown, so they have less artificial food coloring.

As women, we are living in scary times. Pregnancy is not something we all want or choose, and our ability to make that decision for ourselves is being threatened. There is no decision that is right for everyone, and it’s a very personal choice— so why do so many people feel like they should have control over that choice, OUR choice? Join LJ, Di, and a special guest as they talk through the movie Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always and discuss the realities of abortion and access we face currently.

What sounds more like an abuse of power than burning down a whole town via dragon fire and killing NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers in the process? Perhaps LJ picking an episode of Game of Thrones and attempting to compare it to current day examples. Join us to find out if LJ and Di are able to make the connection, or if this episode also gets caught in the dragon fire.

What sport is so tough, it will send you hurdling through the air and possibly cause a cardiovasectomy? Well we can tell you this, it isn’t called gym-nice-tics. Join LJ and Di as they talk about female athletes and the different experiences they have from male athletes. Today they break down the iconic movie, Stick It, which many refer to as the most realistic gymnastics film, and discuss all things involving women’s athletics.

Have you ever been put in a position at work that made you uncomfortable? Told that if you didn’t do something you’d be let go, or if you did do something you’d be promoted? Do you know the difference between hostile workplace and quid pro quo? Join LJ and Di as they try and tackle the tough subject of workplace harassment using the film Bombshell with Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, and Margot Robbie.

Be Aggressive, B-E aggressive, B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E. Don’t lie, you know you read that like a cheer. Let’s chat about the stereotypes that ring true, and the stereotypes that need to be retired. Di shares her experience as a cheerleading band member, and LJ speaks from her part time gig jumping in on the sideline for middle school basketball games. Join them as they break down the cheerleading classic Bring It On. Did Gabrielle Union join to discuss her 20 year revelation from playing the unfortunately named Isis? Tune in to find out.

Heartbreak, anger, sadness, confusion, relief. Have you felt any (or all) of these things after a breakup? Did you know it was coming, or were you caught by surprise? Were you the dump-ee or the dumped? Join LJ and Di as they discuss the multifaceted topic of breakups with the Netflix original movie, Someone Great.

Blondes are dumb, and brunettes are all serious— who’s heard those stereotypes before? Join LJ and Di as they discuss their experiences as blonde and brunette and what’s wrong with society’s expectations around outward assumptions and stereotypes, using the 2001 classic, Legally Blonde.

Have you ever done something you didn’t want to because you felt pressure from someone? Or changed your decisions or opinions because you’ve been coerced into something? (Like when your podcast cohost accidentally picks the worst movie ever made for an episode but you still have to power through? Whoops…) Join LJ and Di as they discuss manipulation as featured in the moral train wreck that is Cruel Intentions.

Healthy competition can be a great motivator. But if comparison turns toxic… it can send you straight to your grave (or beyond!). This week, LJ, Di, and special guest Jack review the 1992 Meryl Streep/Goldie Hawn cult classic, Death Becomes Her. Tune in for a special episode they recorded together in Nashville!
