It finally happened. Rose watched Malcolm in the Middle. The Bush-era suburbia sitcom has long been known to virgins as a Top Five in Fran’s formative cultural objects. Rose’s critique may absolutely shock you. Plus, one episode predicted the plot of a recent horror film???

We also discuss mixed reviews on Demna’s current reign at Gucci as newly appointed creative director after Fran went to the viral resort show in Times Square. For non-fashion virgins, we summarize all the context even if you don’t care about this stuff. But, “this… stuff?” It’s more than just fashion. Demna’s signature aesthetic is so omnipotent, you can’t walk through Bushwick at night without seeing motifs of his influence. Not to mention, the stakes of Gucci’s success will have an impact on the entire luxury industry, which is currently in an existential crisis. 

Also featured in this episode:

• What are the best dresses in Disney princess canon?
• What the hell is going on with John Travolta’s kangol hat at Cannes?
• Rose’s review of Widow’s Bay on Apple TV+
• A partial syllabus of summer culture Rose and Fran will discuss in future episodes:
• The Vampire Lestat 
• House of the Dragon
• Euphoria 
• Scary Movie 6
• The Odyssey 
• Disclosure Day 
• Maybe Supergirl 
• Mmmmaybe Spiderman
• Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
• Blue Film
• Ariana Grande’s Petal 
• Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love 
• Madonna’s Confessions II

Girl, we were born to review Devil Wears Prada 2. And not just because we are f*gg*t-of-center, but because we have both survived some of the unique perils and plights of a modern media industry as depicted in this slightly lukewarm sequel. 

Did we love this movie? Not really. Did we think its depictions of a dying industry were sharp, satiatingly if-you-know-you-know, and at times scary in their ability to resemble their real-life counterparts? Absolutely. 

Our hour-long review discusses the “Anna” of it all, Fran’s time working for her, and a deep dive into the film’s haunting end.

This episode also features:

• Rose’s recommendation for Mel C’s new album Sweat
• Why Fran is recently obsessed with Ninajirachi
• A new LAV brand pillar has emerged, and it goes by the name Half Man on HBOmax — quintessentially Fran-and-Rose shit in the sense that it is prestige stepbrother porn.
• Is the Met Gala dead? Our favorites from the night, an explanation of the theme, and our honest opinion on Hudson William’s “look.”
