Molls loves these movies, and loves to dissect them for our enjoyment. A truly independent show made by a Hollywood writer and her friends from the internet.
This is a ok podcast

Elementary school bully

When did being a bully/mean girl become entertainment? That’s where we are in life? C’mon- people. An overweight, irrelevant, untalented woman gets behind a mic to bash other women in Lifetime films? Makes comments about their appearances, their talent, and oh- how many followers they have? What kind of troll do you have to be to turn this into a job? Also, take a look on the mirror- your insecurities are showing. Not only does this self righteous woman think she’s gods gift to filmmaking and writing, but she’s basing her cretics off of a brand she knows next to nothing about. Most of these films are made in a matter of days (not by choice) by actors you’d never stand a chance next to. These people are working. These people know the brand of entertainment they are working in. Who the F are you to attack them? Grow up. Get some better hobby than woman bashing. It’s gross.

The host said Mary Jo Buttafucco should just get over being shot in the face since she’s had plastic surgery to look normal now! I hope Molls was on something here because if she’s sober saying that then she may need to check her empathy.
