Bimbo Book Club

In 2012, Keke Palmer, Jeremy Jordan, Dolly Parton, and Queen Latifah came together to make one of the most movies of all time: Joyful Noise! (We know this isn’t a Disney movie, Bertrude’s doing something else entirely). You might think this movie is Christian Pitch Perfect, but that is just one of the movies crammed into this runtime! Trying to accomplish the tasks of up four (4) movies in one go,...

In 2018, the Buzzy animatronic was stolen from the Wonders of Life Pavilion at Epcot. He still has not been found. We covered this in 2020 and safe to say there have been some developments, including Stolen Kingdom ( https://instagram.com/stolenkingdomfilm ). We dive into the new Buzzy drama, and reveal some of our own information never before shown to the public. And Patrick Spikes may be an even...

Hi there music fans! With Eurovision wrapping up and our trip down memory lane last week, we chose to revisit the most significant contribution to puppet-based movie musicals (according to Bertrude): The Country Bears! This 2002 Disney film is not necessarily… good, but it is very fun, with one weirdly tearjerking moment. It’s a cornerstone here folks, so like it or not, get ready for a TREAT Foll...

Ok listen. This episode is a treat, in a way. We’ve covered this topic before and it went terribly, and so we decided to do it again… and it didn’t get better! Escape from Tomorrow (2013) was illegally filmed in Disney Parks, and they pinned the success on that. Divas, this story is incoherent, astonishingly pre-AI, and pre-male-loneliness-epidemic. It’s daddy issues like you’ve seen a million tim...

Where were you on March 16th 2020? Was it locked into Vanessa Huggins’ livestream where she advocated for every single one of us to get coronavirus?? Bc that was one of her craziest moves. We’re breaking it down this week: the concept of respecting a virus, the epic highs and lows of having Chrissy Teigan come to your defense, and one diva’s unquenchable thirst to serve qnt at Coachella linktr.ee/...

Hello Bimbos! There are many facts of life: don't eat yellow snow, wait 30 minutes after eating before swimming, and if you yell at us we're gonna cwy. That's right: we're heading to sunny balmy Pittsburg Pennsylvania, because apparently that's where Abby Lee Miller was "succeeding" when television found her. It's the pilot of Dance Moms divas! Jade has watched this show since it aired, Bertrude i...

Welcome… to Jurassic Park, dinosaurs are queer coded and Laura Dern gets the respect this Saga failed to give her. We’re diving into the queer representation in Jurassic Park (mainly the costume department!!) and wind up queer coding dinosaurs as a whole!? It’s fascinating, you must tune in. We’re reminiscing on our memories with Jurassic Park, dunking on Chris Pratt, and a few other people he’d p...

What’s up Bimbos! This week we’re traveling to swamp far far away to talk about Shrek- abstractively! Once Jade breaks it down and Bertrude puts on his listening ears, you’ll see we’re not talking about the movie, we’re talking about Him (Shrek) and his impact on the quirkiest normies you’ll ever find! There’s a time and place for Shrek…. and just maybe some folks out there are relying on that sex...

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Paula Abdul??? That’s right. For any number of reasons, Bug Abdul has spent decades doubling down on claims that she survived a plane crash… which gets about ten times easier to walk away from if it didn’t happen. But hey, it was the 90s! So what if she repeatedly gets knocked out and comes to in erratic ways. Who cares if there’s no documentation of the crash. Big...

Happy Easter Bimbos! Didn’t think we had an Easter episode in us? Wrong! We’re breaking down Trisha Paytas’ “Jesus Rises (Easter Song). The 2019 gospel smash hit rocked literally dozens of Christians and we’re back to see why. Trish is going to make some bold claims, we’re going to discuss. Two deconstructed bimbos breaking down a hymn from THIS era of Trish? What could go wrong? Follow Us! ( http...

Buck up divas! We’re wrapping up the story of us (so far) with our party girl era!! Folks, this brief but bright chapter of our lives has COUNTLESS tales, some remain to be told!!! We’re covering the infamous time we “got our phones stolen” at the Abbey, the 36 hour nonstop party that probably concussed Jade, and the Taco Bell trips sprinkled throughout! We’re back next week with a new topic, and...

Well hello divas! And welcome back to Bimbo Book Club Season 2! This time around, we’re adding context mama!! Catch up on the early years of Bertrude and Jade (2018-2021). Find out why Trisha Paytas has a special space in our heart (we stalked her) and find out how we bonded for life. Crack open a bottle of wine and join us, after all… it is Carl’s birthday! Follow Us! ( / bimbobookclubpod ) ( / b...

Bimbos, Thembos, and (reluctantly) Himbos, gather around for the Bimbo Academy's Debut Award Show: The Diva Cup! 12 Bimbos have been nominated, but there can only be one winner. Who's going home with the Diva Cup? Is it Controversial DEI Nomination: Fred Jones? What about the ever-mysterious Bella Goth? Rachel Berry technically qualifies. Elizabeth Taylor choked on a chicken bone in Big Stone Gap,...

Boots the house down like Nessarose! This week, we're celebrating the release of Wicked: For Good by having worse video quality and watvhing the Muppets' Wizard of Oz! It was one of Jade's favorite movies growing up, Bertrude had never seen it... so we're really coming at it from two different directions! In addition to Muppets' Wizard of Oz, we'll cast a (truly incredible) Muppet Wicked movie, cl...

Hi Bimbos we just wanted to hop on here really quick and say sor.... actually- we're getting ahead of ourselves! Hey divas! This week, we're unboxing a treasure trove of Bertrude's Covid-era tweets (he doesn't handle change well, which bodes well for us!). Jade picked out the tweets that jumped out most to her and used the opportunity to request elaboration or an apology. Sometimes she just congra...

Gobble Gobble Bimbos! This week, we're bridging Halloween and Thanksgiving the only way we know how: compelled by the spirit of Addison Rae. That's right divas! It's Eli Roth's 2024 Slasher Film: Thanksgiving! and boy are we grateful for what this movie is giving! This week, we'll talk about our general feelings on the movie, our favorite kills, and work together really hard to figure out why the...

.Happy Halloween Bimbos! This week, Bertrude's decided to rile up the millennials (again) by making some big claims: Chew rocks, Halloweentown! Gobble a dong, Phantom of the Megaplex! Girl vs. Monster is the best Halloween Disney Channel Original Movie... concept... we're not sold on the execution either. So we're rewriting it! Vaguely... we have concepts of a storyboard. But one thing is clear: H...

Greeting fellows travelers in the night! In this period of Satanic spirits and dark energy, we encourage you to take shelter here at Casa de Bimbo! We're not going to protect you from any of that... we'll just help you realize that none of it matters. This week, we're breaking down incredibly delirious takes from incredibly delirious Christians. Join us as we try to tackle these hateful hoes in a...

Jinkies! This week, we’re rolling out the orange carpet for the shining star of Mystery Incorporated: Velma Dinkley. Bertrude feels a very normal way about Velma, so he’ll be taking us through everything we need to know about this bundle of perfection. Jade doesn't know much about Velma beyond the live-action (*floods basement*), but boy is she excited to tag along! We hit all the eras of Scooby-D...

Boo bimbos! It’s October and we’re busting out the Halloween topics! This week, Jade starts us out with the 90’s Goosebumps TV Show- and how shows like this shaped our taste in horror movies today! We‘ll celebrate R.L Stein, define “90’s Halloween Nostalgia” aesthetic, and recommend horror movies for wimps! Follow us on social media and find us on your favorite podcast app! linktr.ee/bimbobookclub...

Get in losers! We’re ripping the 2024 Mean Girls movie musical to shreads! That’s right. We decided to celebrate this October 3rd by doing what we do best: critiquing! We have a lot of big ideas, and a lot of big feelings. Sounds like this may be the perfect movie for us. In addition, we’ll cover the exceptions to wokeness, failed Regina George cosplays, and accidentally DEVOUR Rene Rapp (sorry gi...

Hello bimbos! Welcome to another episode of diving into our twisted little brains and seeing what comes out! This week we’re tackling Julian Smith’s Hot Kool Aid (with an honorable mention for Melk). While we unbox our surprisingly strong feelings around these videos, we’ll also take a look at where Smith it now!… spoiler alert: he’s terrible. While we’re on this tear we’ll take you on our fair sh...

Hi Sisters! We're terribly sorry for this one... but also it pays off big time, we promise. This week we're going dumpster diving! That's right, we've compiled all the gems from James Charles' career in one place! (You'll notice its one of our shorter episodes). While this might not be our birthday dinner, it also felt like the time and place to dive into other topics. Including: an apology to the...

Just say no!... to skipping this episode! We're diving down so many rabbit holes that you just have to come along. The crux of this episode is After School Specials, but we specifically curated some reading material of our own! This week, Jade has tasked us with viewing Strangers with Candy Season 1, Episode 1... and Bertrude did manage to sneak in Season 1, Episode 9 of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (it...

History had been rewritten Bimbos! This week, we’re tackling TikTok smash sensation SM6, and their Tubi Original Movie: Time Pirates. What?! In a shocking twist, we uncover a Bimbo Original Mandela Effect… it’s never stood for Space Monkey 6?! We’re taking it back to the Don’t Flinch Challenge, and hitting the high notes of our obsession… then flying off the gd rails. Follow SM6 on Instagram and T...
