21. Fried Phones, "Nice Person" Jobs, & Clip-on Bow Ties with Paul Russell

A podcast that celebrates our favorite reality tv shows, the not aspirational people on them, and the not aspirational moments in our own lives; the moments that make us laugh, make us flawed, and make us human. From her reality tv recaps featuring snarky commentary and supreme impressions, to chats with friends and idols, and yeah, the occasional rant about junior high trauma or an absurd pop culture deep cut, Hannah is witty, forthright, and deliciously polarizing.

TV & Film

Hannah makes an important announcement and cries a lot! She is then joined by friend of the pod, actor, producer, filmmaker, and podcast host Taylor Wisham to discuss the iconic 90's comedy BAPS! The gals celebrate the incredible 90's fashion showcased in this film, decide we need more movies featuring both female friendship and montages, dissect a scathing Roger Ebert movie review from 1997, and so much more! Enjoy!
