First up we're yapping about martinis, media voices, and movies. Then we're sharing our thoughts on the recent headlines surrounding David Harbour and ex Lilly Allen as well as the allegations brought against him by Millie Bobbie Brown. Unfortunately, this has cast a dark cloud over the Stranger Things finale season premiere which Sam still very much cares about regardless of everyone who insists they have moved on. Then it's a lively debate about Julia Fox's Halloween costume or should we stay artistic statement piece? It sparks a discussion about what's appropriate in terms of Halloween costumes and where we draw the line between appropriation and appreciation. We come to the conclusion that art and expression are interpretive and subjective and there's not necessarily a clear right or wrong answer. We'd love to hear your thoughts! Then it's time to get in the weeds and today we're getting deep! We have talked many times before about diet culture, body image, and the pressure on young girls and women to look a certain way. The 90s and early 00s entertainment and marketing industries showcased impossible and unattainable standards for young girls and women that fostered a culture of extreme thinness. We're reaching into the vault to bring you some moments from Making the Team: The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, America's Next Top Model, The Girls Next Door, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, the Victoria's Secret runway shows, MTV music videos, and more. We discuss how those moments shaped our ideas of what we thought we were supposed to look like and how that affected us as adolescent girls, how the landscape has changed and also how it hasn't, as well as what we hope for the future for ourselves and for younger generations. As always we wrap up the episode with gripes about getting older and nuisance animals and grapes to good TV and snacks discoveries.
