Episode 90: Worse Than Famine

This week, Rhea and Destiny get really moody and talk about their former teen angst anthems. They also give some bra sizing tips, spoil all the Rocky movies, and answer a fan letter about a dumb thing Destiny said last week. Hopefully this episode isn't too sad!

Episode 89: What Would Be In Your Pyramid?

This week, a listener email gets the Badland Girls talking about the issues: rape revenge movies, the difference between being problematic and having problematic elements, statements in horror movies, and Doris Wishman. We also talk about body acceptance, Eli Roth, and how much we miss watching Lost. There's some frank talk about sexual assault in cinema, so if that's not your thing, consider this a trigger warning.

Episode 87: The Stitcher Listener

This week, Rhea and Destiny have so much fun talking about movies, comics, anime, video games, and music, that we don't really have a real episode description for you this week. I can tell you that they found someone who listens to them on Stitcher and sent in a very sweet email about it, and that they really think you'll like this episode. Pop in some pizza rolls and prepare for podcast perfection!
