    About this Episode

    Abby and Riley sat down with funny guy Harris Mayersohn to discuss one of the most controversial comedies of all time, Borat. Harris breaks down why this spectacular car wreck of entertainment potentially changed America forever… for the worse. Tune in to find out where they stand on classic American values like stubbornness veiled as patriotism, shitting on other countries veiled as patriotism, and lauding racist, misogynistic, homophobic frat boys... veiled as patriotism. This episode is actually pretty bad... NOT!

    The Wedding Planner w/ Erin Keif

    Let’s get LOUD!! In today’s episode, Riley and Abby sit down with comedian Erin Keif to discuss the J. Lo classic, The Wedding Planner. They dig into what makes 2000s romcoms awful and spectacular, such as Matthew McConaughey’s charming gaslighting, Judy Greer’s always-a-bridesmaid-never-a-bride-career, and, for better or for worse (probably worse) J. Lo’s influence on our generation’s romantic relationships. There’s simply no better way to close out Season One!

    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!
