    Episode 12: Just One of the Guys

    Episode 12: Just One of the Guys

    What would you do if you were a female teen journalist, and your entry for the internship contest at the local newspaper was rejected? Would you accept defeat, or you would dress in drag and resubmit your entry at a competing high school to stick it to the patriarchy?

    That's exactly what Terry decides to do. Tired of being treated like eye candy, so dons her best skinny tie and collared shirt, chops off her hair, and heads to high school to prove that she would've won that internship if only she'd been a boy! Terry stumbles through the mine field of passing as a boy: the boy's bathroom, dressing for gym, even being asked out by a girl! 

    Things are going swimmingly until she develops feelings for a guy friend. Oh no! Will her breasts come between them?! (Spoiler: yes).

    Find out what we think about Just One of the Guys, and its stinker of an ending, on this week's episode of So 5 Minutes Ago!

    Episode 11: Labyrinth

    Episode 11: Labyrinth

    On this episode, we journey deep into the center of the 1986 fantasy masterpiece, Labyrinth. 

    Imagine you're a theater-loving teen who constantly gets stuck babysitting your baby brother on the weekends. You get so fed up that you recite an incantation to have him taken away. Then an owl flies in your window and transforms into a lithe, other-worldly, pirate-dressed sexy Goblin King who steals your baby brother, takes him to a castle in the center of a labyrinth, and gives you thirteen hours to find your way back to your baby brother or else he turns into a goblin forever. 

    You'll meet all kinds of crazy characters along the way. You'll be constantly deceived. You'll eat a hallucinogenic peach and attend a beautiful/terrifying ball wearing the biggest sleeves and hair you've ever seen in your young life. And, in the end, you'll learn you're the babe with the power!

    Join us for this week's episode of So 5 Minutes Ago! The power of the babe!

Love love love

Seriously one of my most favorite podcasts! Brings back so many memories and I’ve rewatched a lot of these movies. If you want a break from the chaos, listen and laugh.

Robbie, the boy with ricketts

All of the episodes of this freshman season have been good, but the finale is next-level to cap it off perfectly. I can’t wait for season two!
