Trashy Divorces

Some relationships really just boil down their turbulence, and that's definitely the story with our couples this week. Alicia has the ups and downs that were the relationship of actress Robin Wright and actor Sean Penn, and Stacie gets kind of blue about the ill-fated romance of actress Cicely Tyson and jazz legend Miles Davis.

We're finally feeling the autumn here at TDHQ, and Alicia is in the spirit of the changing of the seasons. But why do the seasons change? You may have heard a lot of bogus stories about planetary rotation and tilt as a kid, but we are here to tell it like it is: Long ago, the God of the Underworld fell for the Maiden of Spring, a pairing of which her mother, the Goddess of the Harvest, strongly disapproved. It's a Trashy Hookup/Trashy Breakup/Trashy Family Dynamics tale for the ages!

Power: Hugh Hefner is the follow-up to the show’s smash-hit premiere season, Power: The Maxwells. In its second season, Power is examining the rise of Playboy and the legacy of its founder.

The pool at the mansion photographed well, but can you imagine actually being in the water? How much of man-boy culture is Playboy responsible for? How influential was Hefner in sexualizing under-age girls? How did the veneer and brand he created excuse and overlook the abuse that occurred on his compound?

It’s time to look at the power of the man in the smoking jacket.

Hosted by Amy Rose Spiegel of VICE, Power: Hugh Hefner centers the women of Playboy – the bunnies, the centerfolds, the executives – and utilizes a feminist lens to critique the playboy lifestyle that the magazine championed.

Power: Hugh Hefner is available now wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes drop every Monday.

Today we're following up on Alicia's Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh story from Sunday. Stacie continues the thread with actress Helena Bonham Carter, whose post-Branagh relationship, with director Tim Burton, began every bit as controversially as the one with Ken had.

For this spookiest of months, Alicia wanted to get into one of her very favorite subjects: The Scottish Play! Not only is there a trashy/tragic marital breakdown, but there are witches, and curses, and prophesies! It also sets us up pretty nicely for Trashy Divorces stories to come...

It's been a while since we followed the dysfunction of a band's trashy breakup, but Alicia has a good one this week! For three brief, shining years, The Mamas & The Papas were chart topping leaders of the late '60s hippie sound. Born in professional jealousy, romantic rivalry, and personality conflict, the band's run ended almost as suddenly as it began.

We're kicking off Season 12 with a theme! We've made no secret of our affection for Hulu's Only Murders In The Building, and this week, Stacie has the lone divorce of loner - and genius - Steve Martin. Then Alicia takes a look at the ex-wife of one of TV's Hardy Boys (it ties into Only Murders, if you haven't seen it), with the trashy divorces of Kirstie Alley, including Parker Stevenson, who played one.

And in case you're worried, there are no spoilers for Only Murders In The Building.
