Sul Sul Bimbos! We have a big surprise this week: our first guest!! Rev is joining us… and he’s brought a mystery: What happened to Bella Goth in the Sims? Turns out this lore runs DEEP. Luckily, Rev’s an expert, and he’ll do everything he can to get us through it unscathed. In addition to cracking this whole case wide open (!!), we also dive into our favorite Sims Expansion Packs (City Living rep...

Aca-Believe it, Pitches!!!! This week we're diving into Pitch Perfect, objectively one of the most formative movies of our generation. I mean, why else would be still be dealing with the Pentatonix? We're approaching this movie as HISTORIANS, as ANTHROPOLOGISTS, as researchers of the human condition, all to support Bertrude's claim: if we needed to explain the year 2012 to aliens, all we need to d...

From 2009 virality to cr...

It's rare that we face a topic that sends the both of us on a much needed crash out, but we met out match this week when we took on Hoop Dogz, a 2006 Christian children's program meant to teach kids about the 10 Commandments- by any means necessary. Join us, along with VJ, Yao Ling (the one panda in a tv show of dogs), and friends to learn a whole bunch of unrelated things before two gross old guy...

Welcome back Bimbos! We're diving in with a walk down ~our~ memory lanes, and sharing our crushes from over the years. We're talking goth girls, we're taking love letters, we're talking day dreams- but most importantly, we're talking about the ones we lied to cover our gay butts along the way. You want Sheego? We got her. Musical Theatre gays? you'll never guess who! Casper- specifically as a ghos...

The Glee discourse has been run into the ground, which seems like the perfect time for us to jump in! This episode, we're taking a look at how Ryan Murphy saw it, with a breakdown of the original unaired Glee Pilot, the retcons that abound, and how we grapple with this show being important for queer representation. In addition to the RetCon-ification of Glee, we'll talk about more bizzaare rules J...

Today, we're putting our lives on the line- and stirring up drama in the Twilight fandom. After Bertrude set off some Twilight sleeper agents on Tik Tok, they decided the best course of action would be to dig deeper and double down. We're talking about the baseball scene, vampires, werewolves, Team Edward, and the non-existence of Team Jacob. We're eager to hear your thoughts. In addition to Twili...

Settle in girls! It's Story Time! This week we're running something new by ya, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Jade is going into this week blind. No viewing, no research, nothing, and she's getting a true story. Bertrude will tell the tale of a lottery winner... who might just be sneaky. Did he rig the lottery? Or is he simultaneously the most lucky and lucky person on the planet? Well...

“My Husband is NOT Gay” ahah jk… unless? This week we’re tackling a pilot so controversial, it couldn't even get picked up by TLC.

We'll spend a...

Mind if we crash out? Maybe right now Main Street USA? This week, in a dark confrontation with our past, we are tackling Disney adults (like figuratively, not irl, unfortunately). Lore will reveal, we are far from fit to judge Disney adults- but that's not going to stop us from trying! This week: we are here, we are queer, we are slightly ashamed, and we are discussing Disney influencers, urban ex...

Including our firs...

Welcome back Bimbos! This week we are turning to a bimbo blueprint: Trisha Paytas and her iconic 2017 "I Love you Jesus" music video. Is Trisha an unproblematic Christian singer? Not in the slightest. Does that make this book club all the more exciting? Absolutely!!
