Another Life Another Trauma
This week we discuss the Netflix show, Another Life. Every youtuber seems to think it's trash, but as trash tv experts we disagree! This is good ACKTSHULY! We discuss the human truths it tries to explore like: the horror of connecting with others, the terror of parenthood, and how we process past traumas. Then we connect it to the larger trauma that we've been living with (hint: 2016). We also call out dumb, nerd youtubers for being dumb.
We ride out to: Lizzo-Truth Hurts

The Real Psychic Dolphins of Dallas
This week we're joined by our fellow Texans from Psychic Dolphin Garage to break down the premier episode of the Real Housewives of Dallas. We discuss how the wealthy use money to control others, their bizarre aesthetics and just how very Dallas this show is. If there's one conclusion we come to, it's that this show should be used to convert people into leftists.

Hot Pink Pizza Party!
In this ep Ljubica shares her thoughts about the neon color trend sure to dominate our wardrobes, as well as some ways to update the look so you don't give people laser tag flash backs. After that Adam leads us through a discussion of the recent controversy about whether Bernie is paying his staff enough. We point out why your faves were wrong to pile on Bernie for this one. Finally we dive into Netroots Nation, explain what it is, and why so few candidates attended. Ljubica also shares her personal Netroots experience.

The Society & Vanderpump Rules
First we discuss the Netflix teen, melodrama, The Society. It claims to depict socialism--but spoiler, it's not the good kind. The show also makes us wonder whether this is a sign that we are moving past the apocalypse fertilization of shows like the Walking Dead, and towards re-thinking how to organize.
Next we discuss the Vanderpump Rules reunion. Is this show even good anymore? Should fat shaming be punishable by job loss? Is denying a trans woman's experience for coin ok? And why does the success of the VPR kids trigger regular people.

Ilhan's Intentions & Aunt Becky's Very Bad Day
Why is it islamophobic to think that Ilhan Omar is anti-semitic? Because Roland Barthes was wrong in "Death of the Author." We bring Walter Benn Michaels' "Against Theory" to bear on the faux-outrage against Omar and critique AOC's weak support. Then, we talk about our very different public high school experiences - different in terms of class - and the recent college admissions scandal.

Customer Reviews
Great eclectic podcast on pop culture and politics
Love the deep dives into current media and what it says about the state of our culture and the national consciousness. Unlike most pop culture shows they are not afraid to talk politics and really dig into the relationship between the political climate and mass media pop culture even when it is lowbrow tv! Keep up the great work.
