April 29, 2024 25. Skinny Love Propaganda
This week, Olivia take the scenic route through many different topics, but for some reason everything always ends up back at Tumblr. She discusses some movies she's seen recently (Stress Positions, The Iron Claw, Argylle), wonders about what happened to Nate Ruess, and considers producers that Taylor Swift could work with other than Jack Antonoff. She revisits the 'thinspo' blog epidemic of of early-to-mid 2010s and grows frustrated by the amount of Skinny Propaganda she's seeing again on social media, and takes a trip down memory lane by rewatching The Fault in Our Stars in all of its 2014 glory.

April 01, 2024 22. The Fast & Bicurious (with Montana!)
Today, Olivia is once again joined by Montana to do something they've talked about since the inception of this podcast: spill their guts about how much they love the Fast & Furious movie franchise and all of it's street racing, heists, and palpable homoerotic undertones. This episode is full of living, laughing, loving, and tangents about everything from illegal flavored vapes to The Mummy (1999) as Montana's bisexual origin story. The ladies also read their way through some racy (no pun intended) Brian O'Conner/Dom Toretto fan fiction after a few glasses of wine, so sit back, relax, and ENJOY!

February 12, 2024 18. French Benefits & The Horrors of Being Perceived
All aboard! Today, Olivia is talking about the recent Taylor Swift discourse and her (hopefully nuanced) take on reconciling with being a fan of someone whose actions you don't always like, outdated terms nobody uses anymore including the idea of "fringe benefits" and "nuking" (microwaving) something, stalking her own instagram, and a truly half-baked theory about gossip and storytelling in the current age.
