    We didn’t mention it in the show but also pb-resources.com is a fantastic website helping the Black community, including the Black Trans community, through this period of extreme police brutality. It’s really hard to look through the profiles of all these wonderful and amazing human beings but I urge you to learn more about how you can help the Black community right now.
    Edit (January 2021): We have decided that this will be our last epiosde for the foreseeable future. Thank you so much for listening!

    Forgive me for not remembering names off the top of my head but https://docs.google.com/document/d/10M1ZuGcRPMYMNxOfT7b5t-X4R1wsfkVnRGOUXw3sHTw/mobilebasic (here is a document of ways you can help the Black, Latinx and migrant Trans community). Donate if you can, turn up to protests if you're able to, volunteer with local organisations (especially political organisations), follow Trans women and men on your social media accounts, keep up to date with what's happening and spread the word on your socials.

  • 111: Fantastic Four (2005)
    Dana and Lysa combine their powers to talk Sue Storm’s bobbies, Chris Evans’s nakedness, and rubber assholes.
    So this was recorded a long time before Chris Evans’s nude pics came out, but there are comments in this episode that Lysa made that in hindsight are gross and inappropriate. However, we always talk about gross and inappropriate things, and we do not advocate for viewing or sharing these pics. We are clearly, unfortunately, psychic.
    Content warning for suicide mention.
    1 hr 6 min
  • 110: Spider-Man (2002)
    Dana and Lysa spring sink our spidey teeth into The Green Goblin’s secret admirer, MJ’s passivity, and Peter’s creepy crush.
    Content warnings: assault against women, brief mention of sexual assault and James Franco being a sexual predator

  • 107: Hulk (2003)
    Dana and Lysa let their anger out and talk about this shitty film. It’s shitty, it’s just so shitty.
    We recorded this third, so there’s no commentary on how it compares with The Incredible Hulk (listen to that episode if you want the comparison).
    Content warnings for: intimate partner violence and violence against women.
