    The Mandys Join the Program

    This is it, folks. The final bonus episode that the Mandys recorded before deciding to pull the plug on the podcast. But hold your tears, they didn't know they'd be pulling the plug, so instead of a somber farewell to a worn-out joke, it's a lively discussion about cults and kidnapping in Netflix's latest offering: The Program. Huge thanks to everyone who has joined us on this rollercoaster ride over the past three years. It's been an absolute joy, and we're thrilled to present this one last episode. Stick around for some laughs, insights, and maybe a few tears (of joy, we hope). (00:00) - Welcome to The Mandcave (01:45) - British Mandys (05:03) - The Program (36:01) - Games! (47:29) - Coming Attractions: Nothing! The show is over!

    Mand in the end...

    The Mandys dish on adult nocturnal surprises, Mandy's London adventures, and what's coming next for each of them... and this show. OK, so that last part isn’t all roses. The Mandcave is officially coming to an end. Thanks to everyone for your support and participation these last three years. Nuts and bolts: We’re canceling any recurring membership charges effective today. But we’re not canceling memberships themselves so you’ll still be able to access member and bonus content if you want to trip down memory lane with old episodes. As long as you members don’t unsubscribe from the member podcast, you’re golden. As we mentioned, Mandy’s new film, Jess Plus None, is coming out this summer. Please head over to the website and follow the socials for details as they’re released. And Mandy’s new show, “Make Me A Nerd,” is launching soon on TruStory FM. The webpage isn’t built yet, but we’ll let you know when it is. VERY SOON! If you have any questions about membership, hit up Pete and the TruStory guys at shows@trustory.fm. Otherwise, thanks again and we’ll be seeing you in that great podcast farm upstate!

  4. Mr. & Mrs. (Mandy) Smith

    Mr. & Mrs. (Mandy) Smith

    Mandy and Mandy are back with a heated discussion on the new Prime Video series "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"... or is it? The intercontinental BFFs dive into the confusing world of Hollywood IP and question if this show has anything to do with the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie blockbuster. (Hardly) Sparks fly as the Mandys debate the merits of this slow-burn spy drama. Will Donald Glover's charisma be enough to keep Mandy invested? Can Maya Erskine win over a skeptical Mandy? And what's up with Paul Dano being credited as "Hot Neighbor"?! Tune in for laughs, rants, and a rare moment of agreement over the ongoing hot flash saga and which audiobook is leaving Mandy cold. (00:00) - Welcome to The Mandcave (02:03) - Dear Girls (06:35) - Mr. & Mrs. Smith (27:03) - The Biz Ness (28:01) - A Too-Challenging Game (40:34) - Coming Attractions: Ted Redux

    Mandburn

    Mandy and Mandy dive into the lush yet emotionally detached world of Emerald Fennell’s latest film Saltburn. With its stylish cinematography and shocking moments, is this a movie for everyone? Is it even for the Mandys? The debate gets all sexy when they discuss whether the beautiful actors and scenery make up for the lack of character development and sometimes-cringey plot twists. Get ready for some spicy takes as they discuss the merits (and occasional misfires) of Fennell's satirical approach. Strap in for Mandy v Mandy as they alternately rave and rant about this polarizing psychosexual thriller. Will you love it or loathe it? Tune in and get ready… because you’re never leaving Saltburn! Also, it’s possible Mandy fights the British accent on the pod. (00:00) - Welcome To The Mandcave (01:27) - Obsessions... Who Killed JFK (06:56) - Saltburn (35:07) - Games!

    The Woman in Mande

    The Mandys are back for book club! This week, Britney Spears and “The Woman In Me.” By the time you hear this, Mandy will be in London. But before she left, she recorded this last missive to celebrate the continually crumbling relationship she has on this podcast. Maybe next month, she’ll tune in eating some sort of crumpet or fish from old newspaper. Until then, we talk Tay, Brit, and Christina. Also, the show may be targeted by Russian hackers.  (00:00) - Welcome to The Mandcave (01:38) - The Woman in Me

    The Mandys Watch Bottoms

    The Mandys end the fifth season with a banger: the dynamic duo finally tell the truth about their love of bottoms. Also, they watch the movie of the same name and may not disagree so much.  The big news is twofold... first, this is the season wrap for the big number five. Great season. Fun fights. But we’re coming back! Which brings us to the second news: Mandy’s moving to LONDON for a while. So, the break might be a touch longer than our usual hiatus, but fear not! Member and bonus eps are still coming around so hang out and know your patience will be rewarded.  (00:00) - Welcome to The Mandcave (00:35) - The Face Face (03:00) - The "run to your living room" movie (07:08) - Bottoms (28:02) - Support the Show this New Year!

    Mandy Cane Lane

    Happy Holidays from all of us in The Mandcave! This week, the Mandys are taking on Eddie Murphy's latest try at holiday cheer, "Candy Cane Lane." The lesson? The movie is really all about Pentatonix.  Ok, that’s not entirely fair. While Pentatonix Puppets are superlative, in classic Mandcave Smackdown Style, the Mandys disagree on some stuff. Whether or not Eddie’s grimaces kindle your nostalgic flames, this special holiday jam should be right up your chimney.
