Teachers Talk Trash

Like low rise jeans we just keep coming back! Here’s a quick little ‘proof of life’ ep for the trashies! Cass fills you in on some life updates and Jules discovers new buttons in the studio space - it’s just as annoying as you fear! We also chat the city of LA’s guerrilla marketing in this book and dabble into some Disney princess chat but Jules definitely isn’t a “Disney Adult”. Almost definitely for sure not. 

What better way to ring in the Christmas season than to watch Love Actually for the 1000th time and dissect it as if we were Year 12 Media students. We have a VERY special guest with us this episode - Cass' self-proclaimed 'favourite person ever' her sister, Em. Take a sip of wine every time one of says 'Hi Karl'.

You better hold on tight, spider monkeys! We’re back again for a special ‘double episode’ celebrating the 20th anniversary of Stephenie Meyers’ millennial masterpiece Twilight! Join us for an in-depth chat about Edward’s struggles with his changing body, Renee’s desperate attempts to cut ties with her “not like other girls” daughter and Jules’ search for a man who’s just “a bit spooky”. We ask the big questions such as “Why is everyone in the town of Forks fine with a 23-year doctor creating an incestuous cult?” and “Did Bella ever actually have friends in Arizona?”  Special thanks to loyal subscriber and Twilight expert Bec for bringing the research as our special guest!

We feel like this ep could be the demise of Teachers Talk Trash as we share our honest thoughts on Em Hen's latest rom com. We lament the bleak nature of online dating conversations, applaud but also cringe at Em Hen's inclusion of overly tall heroines and Cass questions why Jules still hasn't started Real Housewives of New York.

Here... have a lil bonus ep while you wait another few months for us to release our next ep (SORRY!). We continue our foray into film reviewing with this 90s classic. We discuss unrealistic (and problematic) teacher representation in film, Drew's perfect comedic timing and whether Julia will ever get the slow clap she deserves.

Come take a walk on the wild side! In this episode, we visit a small town in Elsie Silver's latest release about a marriage of convenience between a wrestler and a chef. Jules posits a hard truth about the real love story within this text and Cass finds new opportunities to bring up her favourite book by Lucy Score. Strap in Trashies, we don't hold back in this one!Disclaimer: We adore Elsie Silver - this one just wasn't for us.

We can hear the bells! Join us for another instalment of TTT where we fangirl hard over a contemporary Australian romance that made us feel all the feels. In this ep we discuss our thoughts on the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni beef (2 months after everyone stopped caring), Jules goes on another rant about the criteria for an Oscar-winning performance and Cass leans into the Karen persona society has forced her to take on. It's not her fault, guys - it's society's. Formal apology from Jules for the excessive carrot eating in the recording, she was feeling snacky.

Where the hell have you been, loca? 2025 is upon us, trashies, and it's giving "Year of the Pod"! In this episode we discuss our 'Ins' and 'Outs' for the year ahead as we dive into one of Goodread's 'Most Popular Romance books' of 2024 with trepidation (Cass) and anticipation (Jules). Tune in for some Twilight reminiscing and feel free to tune out as we stumble our way through some spicy scenes that we were "knot" onboard for.

OMG it's a bonus Christmas episode. And we have a GUEST! Our local friend and cinephile Matthew joins us for a special review of the smash hit Chrissy film 'Hot Frosty' starring Gretchen Wieners, Ted from Schitt's Creek and a surprising cameo from a Selling Sunset star. We also discuss Matt's top 4 films (Letterboxd style), the use of comic sans in serious moments in films & we hold space for SnowPeople.

Saddle up, Trashies! The new era of TTT continues in this episode where we dive into cowboy romance which invites important discussions about the appropriate amount of hobbies one can mantain and the place of moustaches in 2024. We unpack being pop princesses in our Spotify Wrapped and Cass gifts Jules an impromptu gift to help her make friends at her new job.
