The Hold Up episodes

  • The Stone Cold Family

  • The Anti-Social Network
    This week, Sarah and Kaley tackle The Social Network, a film that has aged worse than that tub of yogurt at the back of your bridge. The story of how social media giant Facebook was founded, this Sad White Boy Story excuses Mark Zuckerberg's bad behaviour while exalting him as the smartest Boy Genius ever to code. Knowing what we do now about how Facebook was used as a tool to elect Trump and start genocides, it's hard to feel sympathy for the multi billionaire who established the platform.

  • The Majesty of Grey's Anatomy
    This week, Kaley and Sarah tackle the longest-running medical drama in American history, Grey's Anatomy. Created by Shonda Rhimes, millennials have literally grown up with this show. And you know what? Even after seventeen seasons, this series about the adventures of sexy doctors holds up reasonably well. Kaley and Sarah dissect what makes the surgeons of Seattle Grace Hospital so damn compelling. We'll discuss Meredith and Christina's moving friendship, how the show normalized queer romantic relationships on TV, and the excellent roles it offered BIPOC actors.

  • "Can Bring It On" Still Bring It?
    This week, Kaley and Sarah screen Bring It On, the classic teen movie from 2000. It's been two full decades since we first screened this cheerful (no pun intended) romp. The beloved film is still funny and infectious, but do its race and gender politics hold up in 2020? That's the question the co-hosts will debate and answer. Get your spirit fingers ready! It's going to be a stimulating episode...

  • The Lead Up and Legacy of Gossip Girl
    When Gossip Girl burst onto our screens in 2007, it became an instant obsession for both Kaley and Sarah. Based on the popular book series by Cecily von Zeigsar, the show had great DNA; it was produced by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of The OC fame. The story of coastal elite children - who hung out at burlesque clubs and wore overpriced footwear - was an explosive hit, spurning fashion trends and turning its stars, Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, into It Girls. But revisiting this series in the era of Me Too, it's obvious GG had flaws from the get-go. In this week's episode, Sarah and Kaley ask if Gossip Girl has held up, and ultimately explain why it hasn't...
