Vodka Lemonade Stand

It's teen romantic comedy week for Vodka Lemonade Stand! Ann and Leada review two Netflix originals and discover teen movies have gotten significantly raunchier over the past decade. Gen Z has officially lost us with their love of The Kissing Booth but Alex Strangelove is a delight. Plus: what happened to Julia Stiles?

Ann and Leada review the latest albums from Charlie Puth and Shawn Mendes. Ann realizes our friendship is as old as The Voice’s Season 14 winner. Plus: slow burn romances, Ann’s musical stylings, and Leada teaching the world how to say “Domhnall Gleeson.”

Ann and Leada have (primarily negative) FEELINGS about Avengers: Infinity War. Thanos should have read The Communist Manifesto or taken a high school U.S. History class. Also: Kate Middleton says #yolo, we're in a feud with 5 Seconds of Summer, and Ann impersonates People's Sexiest Man Alive.

The first guest of the pod, Ella (@brosandprose) joins Ann and Leada to provide commentary on the surprisingly great Blockers (2018). We relive our own prom experiences and reflect on Gen Z, sex positivity, and trusting teen girls to make their own decisions. Also: reactions to breaking celebrity news and a royal edition of our signature game!

Ann and Leada can’t stop watching The Originals. We puzzle out the complex relationships, seemingly nonsensical magic, and electric sexual tension. Plus, a very narcissistic take on our signature game!

Ann and Leada experience technical difficulties but still manage to cover Shawn Mendes' new singles, a rant about bi erasure and Oregon erasure, very positive feelings about Love, Simon, and the return of Shadowhunters on Freeform. We also pose a question no one has ever asked: who is Governor Kate Brown's favorite Shadowhunters character?

We dive into the world of MTV's Catfish and the truth comes out: Leada would catfish someone for revenge and Ann would help. Why is Plenty of Fish the most common catfishing platform? Also: we reflect on the excellence of Netflix's Queer Eye, contemplate what Food Network show Antoni would be on, and Leada reveals a Queer Eye/One Direction connection.

After seeing Black Panther, are you on Team Chadwick or Team Michael? Leada provides somewhat inaccurate Marvel movie recaps. We discuss the impact of "the ridicule factor" on the future of politics. And a new edition of our signature game!

Ann and Leada explore teen vampire media and report back after following through on their promise to watch Vampire Academy. Also: rant-fueled takes on Fantastic Beasts and the politics of RPF.

Take a short break from your latest bummer news week to talk about Marvel's Runaways--spoilers throughout! Also: Camila Cabello drops her debut album and Leada is a Crooked Media fangirl.
