GIRLBLOGGER: THE PODCAST

DEEP DIVE: HEATED RIVALRY

We came to the cottage... and our lives changed forever. This episode me and my gay bff Connor (@connorxbowman) do a deep dive into the best show ever created. I am of course talking about the gay hockey romance sensation that is known as Heated Rivalry. I mention several times in this episode that this show has changed my body chemistry, and I assure you that I'm being completely sincere. That's because not only does this show tantalize us with perfectly sculpted hockey asses, but it also delivers the most powerful love story ever told. That is the love between yearning athletes, and a smoothie barista, as they try to navigate the stigma around homosexual romance. Needless to say, we cannot get enough of this show, so we break down each episode and share every last thought we have to give on this masterpiece. Listen now!

MOVIE NIGHT: LOVE, ACTUALLY & HOME ALONE

What exactly is love? Well, apparently it consists of workplace infidelity, HR violations, language barriers, and confessing your infatuation to your best friend's wife via cue cards. Yes! This episode me and my girl Olivia Krauss (@oliviakrauss) discuss not only the morally corrupt film Love, Actually (2003) but also the timeless classic, Home Alone (1990) which we discover is an equally odd film when analyzed with an ounce of logic. Why exactly do we love this movie about an abandoned 8-year-old that physically abuses home intruders? Regardless, we watch both these films every year. They both bring us Christmas cheer whether we are hate watching or love watching. Merry Christmas! Listen now!

ROB REINER, DIDDY DOC, THE BEAST IN ME, THE HOUSEMAID

Just when you think things can't get nay more bleak... they do! Yes, we have more unfortunate news. Sadly, we have lost yet another Hollywood icon with the passing of Rob Reiner. Also, to add insult to injury, he was allegedly stabbed to death by his own son alongside his wife. It's not exactly the type of surprise we like to receive during the holidays, but here we are. Pour one out for Rob Reiner by rewatching Misery (1990). Next up is not much more uplifting, Diddy: The Reckoning! The new doc series all about Diddy on Netflix really captures who Puff Daddy really is... a desperate wannabe! After that, I recap another Netflix program called The Beast In Me which stars Claire Danes. Was anyone else confusing her with Aileen Wuornos while watching this? Finally, I give my harsh critique on both the book and the new film adaptation of The Housemaid (2025). Is it too much to ask that a twisted suburban psychological thriller just be a little more flamboyant?! So many missed opportunities. Oh, and I also tell a story about how my best friend gaslit me into a fit of delirium. Listen now!

MOVIE NIGHT: CAROL & CHRISTMAS VACATION

Nothing says Christmas like forbidden sapphic love in the 1950s! Well, at least thats how I feel. Tune into this special Holiday episode where me and my cinephile bestie, Marcus Cole (@marcus_t_cole), unpack Carol (2015) and *National Lampoon's* Christmas Vacation (1989). Sure, some may argue that the former is not a proper Christmas film, but it takes place around Christmas, so that's all it takes for me to label it a holiday classic. By the way, would you order poached eggs over creamed spinach with a dry martini for an early lunch while simultaneously chain smoking cigarettes? Carol certainly would! After chatting about queer prejudice for awhile we begin to discuss Christmas Vacation (1989). A film that highlights Chevy Chase's physical comedy strengths, despite him being a total a$$hole IRL. Also, do you think Todd and Margo had exciting s€x? We vote: absolutely not. Listen now!

MORE HEATED RIVALRY, ALL'S FAIR ANAL, MOTHER MARY, SPOTIFY WRAPPED

Do I need God and religion? No! Why would I when I have Heated Rivalry?! Yes, I'm back again talking about the best show of all time that centers around secretive gay hockey romance. Also, congrats to us on the recent news that the show has been renewed for a second season! We really cannot get enough of the hockey butts. In addition to the new Heated Rivalry, I cannot help but comment on the latest episodes of All's Fair. Specifically, the wildly raunchy scene in which Sarah Paulson lets a fireman penetrate her "emergency exit" with his big hose... their words, not mine. Next up is some semi-scandalous fashion news about how Dario Vitale is already out at Versace after one bombshell collection. Im not sure which is gayer: Heated Rivalry or Dario's singular 80s Miami Gigolo collection that dropped earlier this year. Google it. Then I get into the new trailer for Mother Mary (2026). It's one of 200 movies that Anne Hathaway will be starring in this coming year, and it looks like it has potential! Lastly, for my EPCOT segment, I discuss the haunting experience of being face with your own Spotify wrapped. Listen now!
