    A Chill, Lowkey Episode

    Jamie is having a comically bad month and the news is grim. Please indulge the Party Girls in a chill, lowkey episode where they examine a number of human interest stories, including: the meaning of Christmas, the Pisces Co-worker, the anti-sharing movement, MFs getting tattoos under anesthesia, and Jamie's page on Canary Mission, which links to her Onlyfans. They also read and reply to some listener comments for their new "mailbag" segment and say a few words about Asad Haider.

    CULTURAL MARXISM: Bugonia (2025) w/ Bryan Quinby (PREVIEW)

    Jamie is joined by Bryan Quinby, formerly of Street Fight Radio and currently of Guys: With Bryan Quinby, to discuss Yorgos Lanthimos' latest piece of wackypants cinema. In this remake of the 2003 Korean film "Save the Green Planet," a wingnut named Teddy (Jesse Plemons) kidnaps girlboss big pharma CEO Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone) because he thinks she's an alien who's killing the bees. Themes of paranoia, atomization, niche internet culture, and...Stav?! Bryan uses his PhD in guy-ology to determine what kind of guy Teddy is.

    Luigi Mangione: One Year Later

    Exactly one year after the killing of United "Healthcare" CEO Brian Thompson, the PG crew looks back on one year of Luigi Mangione. They recap what's happened in the case so far, shout out Luigi's biggest supporters, and give updates on what's happening in Luigi's trio of court dates this week. At issue is the evidence police collected from Luigi's backpack upon his arrest in Altoona, PA, which the defense is moving to have excluded because the police did not read him his Miranda rights as required by law. The crew also announces an exciting new project from the December 4th Legal Committee, namely, a book! Depose: Luigi Mangione and the Right to Health, due out this coming May from Ill Will Editions, examines the public reaction to Luigi Mangione's alleged crime, placing it within the great western tradition of tyrannicide (the killing of a tyrant) and laying out a roadmap for how Americans could use this as a jumping off point to create a mass movement to guarantee everyone the right to health, once and for all. The lion's share of the royalties will be split between the Luigi Mangione Legal Defense Fund and other health justice projects.

    Caught In A Rad Bromance

    Socialism is in the news this week! The PG crew breaks down the bizarre Trump-Mamdani summit during which the president made it very clear that he has a crush on the democratic socialist mayor-elect of NYC. What the heck was that, and will it ultimately be a net positive, negative, or neutral? Meanwhile, 86 Democrats voted for the house bill condemning socialism, an idea that "only" one third of Americans support, according to recent polling. PS: We remembered to read the patrons' names this time. :) Curtis Sliwa doc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blkCy52KUBE SIGN UP NOW at https://patreon.com/partygirls to get all of our bonus content, Discord access, and a shout out on the pod!

    Listen To Migrant Sex Workers w/ Chanelle Gallant & Elene Lam

    The Party Girls are Joined by sex workers' rights advocates Elene Lam and Chanelle Gallant to discuss their book “Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant Sex Workers Fighting for Justice” out now with Haymarket Books. In this episode, Jamie and Sam explore the ways in which migrant sex workers have pushed back against state repression and how their stories, expertise and forms of life can be a beacon that lights the way for all of us as we seek to undermine the state’s capacity to surveil our movements. Elene Lam is the founder of Butterfly, a support network for Asian and migrant sex workers.

    The People's Republic Of New York

    Jamie reports LIVE from the COMMUNIST CORRIDOR of NYC on the election of New York's first socialist mayor since 1993, youngest mayor since 1892, first ever Muslim mayor, and most importantly, first mayor with a rap career Zohran Mamdani (learn to say it). What does it mean that America's most important city elected a democratic socialist mayor? Are there openings to make the "commie corridor" real, or is this just more electoralist recuperation? How butthurt are the Cuomos right now? Jamie and Sam discuss.

    CULTURAL MARXISM HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: Donnie Darko (2001)

    The PG crew tackles a classic Halloween movie that captured our hearts and bent our minds when we were in high school: Donnie Darko (2001). In writer/director Richard Kelly's coming-of-age sci-fi thriller, troubled teen Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) must decipher the apocalyptic visions he's been having before it's too late. We discuss the film's political backdrop of '80s/'00s conservatism, the primary plot and whether or not it makes sense, and its enduring relevance, dropping a Marx quote or two along the way.
