Not My Scene

Madison haunts the pod!!! We are famously scaredy cats so we had to get a true horrorfile on to tell us about her experiences frequenting haunts such as Halloween Horror Nights, Knotts Scary Farm, and the Eastern State Penitentiary. We attempt to understand the psyche of a brave girl and answer the question "why are you built different?" Discussion includes social anxiety in haunted houses, the sexualization of scare actors, EXTREME haunts, and of course, our thoughts on The Life of a Showgirl.

Listen closely. Not for very much longer. Our Rocky Horror episode is here! A play and movie with an outsized cultural impact, this cult classic has built a community in every sense of the word. We got in on the madness to understand the inside (dirty) jokes in the counter script, the ins and outs of audience participation, and the queer representation (and misrepresentation) in the political climate then and now. I see you shiver with antici...pation.

What is bobcheese you might ask? Well in a nutshell, it's thinking "bob" and "cheese" are funny, but really it's so much more than that. This week we're revisiting a more wholesome era of memes (I can has cheezburger?) and bring it all the way up to the present to discuss what elements of our society could be deemed "bobcheese" (Tim Robinson), or in contrast, "cheugy" (Dubai chocolate).

It seems like every week there is a new theory online about how to keep your face looking smooth, glassy, and wrinkle-free. From "skin flooding" to the "caveman method" we've seen it all, but what actually works? Skincare angel Lili Stenn has descended on the pod to give us her tried and true routine. We also discuss anti-aging politics and the procedures that take it a step too far (Vampire Facials anyone??).

Joined by bff of the pod Hana, we discuss social media accounts dedicated to celebrities! Long before PopCrave, PopBase, and PopTingz were around to tell you that Sabrina Carpenter "stunned" in new photo, we had One Direction fans dedicating hours to posting edits, photos, and updates to our Tumblr feeds. The ancient craft of stanning is alive and well today and we were lucky to get interviews with the loyal stans behind a Haim account (@thealanahaim) and a Boygenius account (@boygeniusource).
