Girl, We Need To Talk!

When I am searching for words that encompass how I’m feeling, I often look to two sources…one of them being Atticus Poetry.

This week, KW and I cover Atticus Poetry, the anonymous bestselling author/poet. We specifically look at his two poetry books: The Truth About Magic and Love Her Wild.

To find more about Atticus, you can look him up on his website atticuspoetry.com, on his Instagram at “atticusxo,” and on Facebook at “AtticusPoetry.”

In this week's episode, Aleta and I discuss the poignant and piercing memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, written by J.D. Vance.

In his novel, J.D. draws so many parallels in communities across America, compared to his own upbringing in a small Ohio town and the hills of Eastern Kentucky. He discusses his tumultuous childhood, his one constant throughout his upbringing (his spitfire grandmother who he always referred to as "Mammaw"), and how he ultimately made his way through the instabilities and trauma of his young life and achieved success as an adult.

The novel highlights themes of rural American life: the strong bond of family, intergenerational poverty, and the changing structure of community, family, and stability. His novel gives us a glimpse into what many of those around us are struggling with currently.

We talk about similarities to our small town life and the things that JD experienced/witnessed from his upbringing. As well as going off on a tangent...or two.

So settle in, get comfy, and check it out.

This week KW and I hash out the recent release of Unsolved Mysteries: Tsunami Spirits, which is featured on Netflix. This episode was in Netflix’s second drop of unsolved cases, which were released on October 19, 2020.

We discuss the earthquake that hit the Tohoku region of Japan on March 11, 2011, and the deadly tsunami that followed soon after. This tsunami killed thousands of people and displaced so many in that region. However, it is the phenomenon that took place after that is the subject of our final installment of Spooky Season 2020.

We hope you’ll enjoy!

Friends, it's officially the week of Halloween and we are continuing the Spooktacular season with today's episode covering the original 1976 version of The Omen. The Omen features iconic actor Gregory Peck and as we discuss in the episode, it's a part of an introduction into a new genre of horror-evil children!

Come listen as we discuss the movie, mid-20th century hospital births, our perspective boy names (Aleta's is quite a surprise!) and as always, movie trivia galore!

Happy Halloween Y'all!

This week, Aleta and Krystle cover the not-so-spooky 2020 Netflix Original Movie, Enola Holmes.

To kick off the Spooky Season, this episode is all about the iconic horror film, The Shining.

Krystle and Aleta discuss trivia, some behind the scenes info, and differences between the classic film and the Stephen King novel it was based on.

There also may or may not be a Mean Girl's reference, wardrobe questions, and a little anecdote about Hank William's gravesite.

Here's to a Fantastic October ya'll!

In this week's episode, KW and I discuss the 2017 murder mystery film that takes place on the Wind River Reservation. This film was both written and directed by Taylor Sheridan.

Know your truth and burn everything else.

On this week's episode, we discuss the amazing, life changing, revolutionary new book Untamed, by bestselling author, Glennon Doyle. The book reveals hard truths, drops poetic, inspiring metaphors, and explains why we sometimes think, feel, and react in certain ways, when we ourselves don't even know why.

This book has definitely revealed some truths to us, stepped on our toes, and made us take a hard, long look at why things are the way they are. Of course, there are laughs along the way.

Take a listen and hear for yourself! As always, you can check out this latest episode on Podomatic, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and GooglePlay

This episode covers the semi-semi autobiography “Memoirs and Misinformation”—a collaboration between Jim Carrey and Dana Vachon.
