Meghann and Kelsey discuss the wildest and most memorable breakups in history. 

Meghann and Kelsey dish about the cruelest month of the year and the summertime TV that's helping us struggle through it. MAJOR SPOILERS for The Sinner and GLOW, both available on Netflix. Just because our bodies are shutting down from the heat doesn't mean we can't enjoy some quality depictions of complicated female relationships. In Kelsey's own words, we gotta "plug in an IV to our televisions and find something that will sustain us until September." Watch GLOW! It's technically sports!

That's right, it's another episode of My Good Bad Taste! Did you think you'd seen the last of us? Well, think again, friendo, because season 2 is here and we're wasting no time getting into the most important topics of the year including ROYAL WEDDINGS, EVEN ROYAL-ER WEDDINGS, and TRUE CRIME DOCUMENTARIES. Come catch up with us, and then let's discuss Netflix's new docuseries -The Staircase. 

Featured Topics: Which Handmaids Tale are you?, Me Too (yep, again), Chris Hardwick is cancelled-FINALLY, Roseanne is cancelled-FINALLY, Jeffrey Tambor--CANCELLED, Kate Middleton's mom face, The Dress, They caught the Golden State Killer!, Dudes Named Petersen Tend to Murder Their Wives, 

*Correction: Meghann is dumb and said the song was “I Will Be”, but the song she and Deanna sang at Kelsey’s wedding is called “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” By The Proclaimers.

In a serious episode, the gals try to make sense of the current cultural reckoning of sexual misconduct and violence against women. With new (and often very much not-new) stories surfacing each day, there is a weary abundance of material this episode. We kick off with Oscar predictions in the shadow of the Me Too movement, followed by discussion of two horrifying ongoing unsolved murder cases, and the difference between victim-focused and perpetrator focused storytelling. Finally, a discussion of institutional complicity in the Woody Allen and Larry Nassar assault cases. Trigger Warning: violence against women, sexual assault, James Franco

In this episode, the gals drink Krupnik and regale a time-honored Christmas tradition of terrifying children into doing their chores by telling them that a homicidal supernatural creature is coming to eat them. 

Topics include: Being a shut in, youtube tutorials, nail art, alienating our listeners, everything should be on Netflix, anti-clauses, mispronouncing foreign words, schnapps, root vegetables, troll habitats in Iceland, alpine folklore, so much paganism, traumatizing your children, and so much more.

This week on My Good Bad Taste we're paying tribute to two beautiful stars who died way too soon: Selena Quintanilla Perez and Sharon Tate.  Join us for a discussion of their beauty, talent, and lives that were cut tragically short by senseless violence. 

Serial killers, astrology, Mindhunters, and Stranger Things--it's all coming up on this jam-packed episode of My Good Bad Taste. The gals play amateur FBI profilers this week as they argue about which astrological signs are most likely to kill. Kelsey brings the knowledge on each sign's psychology and how it could apply to murder most foul. Meghann tries to guess the astrological signs of famous serial killers. We also have fun with the lighter side of the zodiac during a segment on Sextrology, But first, we're talking Netflix's hottest new series, the 80s sci-fi throwback Stranger Things and David Fincher's talky serial killer drama Mindhunter.
