After-School Special: What Are Friends For? (1980)This episode is from our Patreon archives and originally aired in February of 2021 and remains one of our favorites of all time!Twelve-year-old Amy Warner is the new kid on the block after she and her freshly-divorced mother move to California. All is fine until Amy meets Michelle Mudd, a tween who loves dogs, rainbows, shoplifting, and blood sacrifices. Amy grows concerned when Michelle attempts to cast a spell on her father’s new girlfriend and frames Amy for shoplifting at the local store. This is bonkers. We get an inside look at Jennie’s teenage bedroom, Amye revisits her brief life of crime, and we both agree that Charlie Chaplin posters have no place in a teenager’s bedroom. Oh, and there are a ton of creepy dolls.

Time Capsule: Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields (Hulu 2023)
Trigger warnings for this episode include: child pornography, rape, sexual assault We are joined by Tess and Brooke from Psych Legal Pop Podcast to discuss Hulu’s Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields.If you’re a Gen Xer, you might feel like you grew up with Brooke Shields, and in many ways you did. She was the quintessential 80’s icon complete with her bushy eyebrows and tight-fitted Calvin Kleins. But few knew what was happening behind the scenes as her mother’s drinking became out of control and a group of sleazy directors couldn’t respect the fact that she was a child. Don’t worry, Amye kept a “scumbag list” so we know who to avoid.Follow us on IG at: genxthisiswhyFollow Amye on IG at: amyearcherwriterFollow Brooke and Tess on IG at: psychlegalpop Hosted on Acast.

Our first stop is Walnut Grove as we take a fresh look at our favorite frontier family (as if we can name another), the Ingalls.
