  • #30: Riches to Rags

    We all love to see the rich and famous take a stumble - especially when it's on a TV show! This week Becca and Tessa talk the "riches to rags" plot on Arrested Development and Schitt's Creek. They chat about the ridiculous mothers (and honestly the whole family) on both shows and about character growth and development. And also how much of a buzzkill moving and dishes are - ya feel?

  • #25: Hiding in Plain Sight - Surviving R. Kelly

    When asked if the documentary "Surviving R. Kelly" would continue to air amidst threats of legal action, Lifetime's response was clear: "Lifetime has always been a brand that champions women's stories. The documentary will air as scheduled, starting tonight at 9 pm ET/PT."

    In this episode, the women of PCSS honor the bravery of the survivors that shared their stories and applaud Lifetime for standing by them. We hope this episode inspires you to join the movement to #muterkelly and helps to elevate the important and challenging topic of abuse. Thank you for listening!

  • #21: Happily Ever After - Christmas Edition

    Cozy fires, buckets of hot cocoa, and a Hallmark-style Christmas movie - is there anything better? Not for Becca or Tessa! And certainly not for special guest Kirsten Ballard, a Hallmark Christmas Movie connoisseur! The ladies of PCSS dive DEEP into the written (and unwritten) rules of the Christmas Hallmark movie and how Netflix and ABC Family break those rules and are coming for Hallmark's empire. Other topics include drunkenly leaving birthday parties early and over-dicking around. It's Christmas-time, y'all - let's get this (ginger)bread!
