Easy A (2010) w/ Brennan Klein

"I told everyone! Well, actually I told one person, but you know how these things work. It’s like wildfire."

You asked for it, and we're delivering, it's time to jump back into 2010 to discuss EASY A with special guest, Brennan Klein (producer of this very show!)

This week BJ tells the story about her Christian ex's soon to be wife calling her a decade later, Brennan confesses he aspires to be a parent like Stanley Tucci's Dill Penderghast, Harmony admits that Olive is exactly the type of cool woman she wants to be when she grows up, and the trio finally determine the difference between teen girl movie hallway walks and stairway reveals.

Yes, God, Yes (2019)

"What if we just tried to be honest and treat each other with respect? That is what Jesus wanted, right?" 

The wives are going deep into the world of organized religion, discovering sexuality, and teaching the world what it means to "toss a salad" with Karen Maine's YES, GOD, YES. 

This week BJ explains why googling "girl uses cellphone" has scarred her for life, Harmony relives the hell of suburban Ohio Sunday school, and both talk a lot about the life-affirming moments that exist from having even just one adult tell you that it's all going to be okay.

Sydney White (2007) w/ Vanessa Guerrero

"If only there was a place where a superficial, materialistic b*tch could fit in... Oh, wait. There is" Fresh off the heels of the latest U.S. election, we're diving into baby's first socialism movie, the Amanda-Bynes-as-Snow-White flick SYDNEY WHITE (2007).

The wives are joined with comedian, co-host of the Kicking and Screaming podcast, and host of El Rey's 'Top 5,' Vanessa Guerrero, to talk about collegiate life as an introduction to dismantling the screwed up world of rigged democracies, the signs you might be dating a young Republican, whether or not we should trust angry white men with blogs, and embracing your inner dork.

**At the time of recording, Vanessa was using a different last name. We were given explicit permission to make the ridiculous sound edit of an Eddie Guerrero ring announcement to highlight the professional use of her maiden name.**
