Hindsight Is 2000

Today’s ep is an absolute manic rollercoaster. Riley and Abby sit down with the incomparable Meaghan Strickland to discuss the movie that, one could argue (they would argue), defined their generation (or just Abby and Riley) and 100% inspired Riley’s incredible hair. It’s basically the reason they started the podcast so tune the fuck in ‘cause it’s Anchorman, baby!  Follow Meaghan for more goofs:  IG TW

Today, Abby and Riley talk about possibly the greatest sequel in the history of film, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Angelo Balassone is here to talk about this gorgeous trainwreck and how much it has to offer (to gay men, specifically). This ep’s got everything from jerking off to Days of Our Lives, gun reform, and, of course, Big Fish. Follow Angelo! TW IG

Today’s ep has it all - Juicy Couture tracksuits, hyper-child-baby feminism, and the everlasting embarrassment of their middle school days. Throw on your Von Dutch, get your vocal fry on, cause it’s The Simple Life ep with local woman and friend of the pod, Allie Viti!
