    "No New Penises" (w/ Melanie Lynskey)

    It's festival season. It's allergy season. It's gala season. Divas down! We need an antihistamine for ALL of it. Enter Melanie Lynskey!

Also, Coachella thoughts and reactions (including the Frank Ocean of it all), Blink 182 in retrospect, "stealth wealth", the release of the recent Wicked production stills, how "fanny" means "pussy" in British, and living with misophonia in the face of gum chewing.

The star of the Showtime smash “Yellowjackets”, Melanie channels her dark side by playing complicated, uncompromising characters. In this episode, she reveals to Katie the decades of pain she experienced as she failed to attain Hollywood’s standards of beauty. It wasn’t until she decided not to play that game that she actually got what she wanted: success on her terms.
