Pop Therapy

Today I am joined by my best friend, Amanda, via Zoom! Over the years, we have suggested many shows, movies, and artists to one another and have been able to dissect them all to no end! So today, we let you all in on some of the things in pop culture that we have both loved (and sometimes even hated). Try to keep up, we go a mile a minute!

As Frank Ocean once said, "If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Seriously. Punch them in the face and go get some ice cream." While I don't condone violence, I do agree that getting out your frustrations when it comes to matters of the heart is necessary, however, I recommend music therapy! In today's episode, I give my top five heartbreak songs to get you through those rough patches. So instead of catching an assault charge; catch these tunes, grab that mint chocolate chip, and know that when it comes to matters of the heart, you are not alone.

On today's episode, I give a brief update on the ending of this season's Bachelor and the hot mess that evolved on the finale. Next, I talk about the "best" worst movies. What makes a good bad movie? What qualifications lead a potentially good movie down a dark and twisted road? I go through my personal top five "best" worst movies: why I love them so much and why most people think I'm nuts!

On this episode of Pop Therapy, I go down the deep and winding hole that is the world of Bachelor Nation. From The Bachelor to Bachelorette, with bits of Paradise and others thrown in between, I discuss what the franchise has meant to me, my opinions on seasons past, where I see the franchise headed, and who my favorites (and least favorites) have been. Cuddle up with some chocolate, rosé, and maybe a pillow (in case you get sleepy) as I explore the twisted, ridiculous, amazing world of Bachelor Nation.

Each week I give you the 411 on the hottest news in the entertainment and celebrity world in the form of scalding-hot cups of tea. This week's mentions: Chad Johnson, JJ Lane, Steven Spielberg's daughter, Oprah, Lady Gaga, America Ferrera, Love is Blind on Netflix, Maroon 5, Hilary Duff, and the next Bachelorette!

Sister, sister in the house! In the home studio today is my sister, Laura! On today's edpisode we talk about the shows we watched and loved growing up that were part of the T.G.I.F., One Saturday Morning, and TNBC lineup. We try and sing many of the theme songs from these iconic shows (spoiler alert: we did not do a good job) and we explore the impact these shows had on us. It is an episode full of nostalgia and many, many corny jokes between two sisters. And don't worry, we kept the arguing to a minimum so that our mom didn't threaten to pull the car over and make us walk home. Check out Laura's amazing hair sylist skills at @HairByLauraMurphy on Instagram!
