2025: Iconic or Ironic?🧐🤨🧐

Oops we’re back! Discussing our dystopian society, the novels that represent it, and the discourse surrounding it all. Topics include: supermodel job security, a ballroom dancing gender reveal, thinly veiled misogyny disguised as a critique of fairy “smut”, the documentary of the century or just two folks on the spectrum not breaking eye contact, and some celebrities with backbones (read: support of Palestine) and some without (read: Ed Sheeran). And that’s what you missed on Glee!

Audrey and Phoebe and Gracie and Charli. Need we say more?

Listen to us spend an inordinate amount of time discussing OR3 plus some sprinkles of The Royal Wedding, Cara's reality show-inspired summer reads, Bailey's (continued) rant on physical media supremacy, and our anticipation of Daughter from Hell.

Enjoy a special episode recapping our trip to NYC🫪 Mostly iconic but some ironic (and idiotic) experiences in that ginormous apple🍎🍎🍎 We ❤︎⁠ NY༝༚༝༚

Hopefully you like Bailey’s way too in depth track-by-track album analyses because we’re back with another for Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide—an album that can best be summed up with this emoji: 🥺. But that’s not all!! There’s also discussion of our perhaps problematic renaissance of Winnie the Pooh as adults sans children, the ‘womaning’ of Lena Dunham, and this summer’s reading trends. Also, Bailey introduces homework to the podcast! We promise we'll keep it fun though.

Title really says it all. As medium-level Harry Styles’ fans (not quite Harries), we obviously had to do a track-by-track analysis of HS4. Bailey attempts (but fails) at a concise review of The Oscars. And Cara provides some slightly belated recs for Trans Rights Readathon! Now stop listening to podcasts and go dance with your friends🕺🕺

A little late on the Olympic drama (blame Bailey, as usual🙄) but oh, what a time for American patriotism🇺🇸🦅 No irony here at all!🙂‍↔️😉 (We do of course support the Team USA women carrying the medal count though—not surprising💪♀️⚡) The Olympics obviously call for a sports romance segment with Cara’s Current Reads❤️‍🔥🏒👬⛸️👭 And this lovely ep is rounded out with a deep dive into upcoming music releases🎧💯, Bailey’s KPop Demon Hunters obsession🎤😈💥(again, late to everything🙄), and some brief discussion on dating reality TV💘🎭📺 Enoyyyyy!

New year, same pod (•̀⤙•́ ) Cara and Bailey are back to discuss only the least important things in in our society •𐃷• such as our collective obsession with the year 2016 (𖦹~𖦹)??, the newest GOT spinoff, Harry Styles’ new album😙🪩,Oscar nom predictions (sorry, Bailey took foreverrrr to edit this🙄—they were predictions at the time, we promise🤞, and new music and books of note in the year of our Lorde, 2026. And featuring a ⚡new⚡segment: ‘Influenced’! Where Bailey and Cara pinpoint how their personal choices and preferences have been shaped by the media they consume😵‍💫👽꩜ Does free will even still exist with today’s algorithms??🧐💭🤔🤔. Well, it must because you are here listening to this podcast and yippee for that! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

Perhaps a bit idiotic🫠🥸😵‍💫but let’s not get into all that…Instead, Cara and Bailey recap 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ and dive into the Christmas season☃️❆🔔☃︎ Lots of wrapping in this episode! From discussing the iconic, underrated “Christmas Wrapping”(and other fav Christmas carols🎷🔔🎺🌟) to rehashing their Wrappeds of Spotify, YouTube, and Fable—oh my!🎁🎁🎁All that and a shit ton more!

Cara and Bailey prolong spooky season🐈‍⬛🕸️🦇(sorry Nov 1st Christmas observers!🙅🏻‍♀️🚫☃︎🎅) with their takes on the most iconic and ironic celebrity halloween costumes🧛‍♀️🧙‍♂️🧟‍♂️, Bailey’s review after finally seeing the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show👄👠🎶🏰, and a discussion of their fav scream queens👸🩸📺😈. Cara’s Current Reads📚🐛covers the current and future classics𓂃🖊🕯️📖Bailey trial runs Monotone [🎥Movie✮🍿] Monologues with the crossover no one asked for (Taylor Swift⸆⸉ x Edward Scissorhands✂️🏰❄️🖤) due to not receiving enough recognition on Letterboxd🟠🟢🔵).
