Bitch Talk Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Hello listeners! We have an election tomorrow, June 7 in San Francisco and one of the city propositions is to recall our District Attorney.  We interviewed the D.A. back in the fall of 2021  and thought it would be a good reminder for our fellow voters to re-run this interview with Chesa. If you haven't voted yet or on the fence about this recall campaign, we hope you'll...

Send us Fan Mail Part two of our Basic Bitch is here!  This time we talk about Ange's 48-hour trip to San Francisco. It was supposed to be a week long trip, but life happens and she was able to come up at just the right time. You'll hear us talk about our new favorite restaurant Prubechu , how kick-ass the musician Peaches remains to be, some casual racism at Erin's job,  comedian H...

Send us Fan Mail It's been a minute since we've caught up - and as usual, there's a lot to talk about. This is the first part of our two part Basic because we needed a full debrief on Char's vacation on a Disney cruise, how much she loves a private island (duh), her bad luck with luggage, and our sidebar on the Amber Heard/Johnny Depp trial (spoiler, we don't give a fuck a...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Flash Back Friday! With 600+ episodes, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with our new listeners (and maybe new to our regular listeners). Before we close out AANHPI Heritage Month, we're flashing back  to February of this year, when we hang with Lisa Ling as she launched her new show on HBO Max.  Holy shit, it's Lisa Ling ! This was a big dea...

Send us Fan Mail Had a great time talking with director Sally Rubin about her short film Mama Has a Mustache which screened at last month's 65th annual SFFilm Festiva l . Sally's film is a short, quirky, fully animated doc about gender and family, as seen through children’s eyes. Driven completely by audio interviews of kids ages 5-10, the film uses these sound bytes combined with clip-a...

Send us Fan Mail When Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked in January 1994 it was the story of all stories that year. Fast forward 28 years later and we're sitting down with director Justin Young who's directorial debut, My Hero the Hitman , focuses on the person who was hired to attack Nancy Kerrigan, Shane Stant, and his sister Maile Stant.  There's a lot to uncover i...

Send us Fan Mail Comedian and author Ginny Hogan has written her first book I'm More Dateable Than a Plate of Refried Beans and Other Romantic Observations and we're here to give it the Bitch Talk bump.  Ginny's book takes us on the ride of how silly online/modern dating has become and has some hilarious observations on how these apps could work a little better for all of us, like,...

Send us Fan Mail Howdy Bitch Talkers! We're taking you back to the March 22 online event that we hosted for San Francisco non-profit WeXL with film financier Chiquita Banks, Esq. We were drawn to host this event because filmmakers and/or creatives need to understand insider knowledge of how projects get made in Hollywood - let's get rid of the gatekeepers already! Chiquita has a wealth o...

Send us Fan Mail Hi Bitch Talkers! We're all back in the same Zoom room catching up on life. We get into Ange's birthday trip to Mexico - how she almost missed her first flight out, going to an adult prom, celebrating opening weekend of Mexican baseball, and her love of cenotes. We also talk about the circle of Covid that seems to be closing in on us, and the shows and movies that are ma...

Send us Fan Mail Did you know that in the past 6 years, 33 states (including California) have passed laws to silence boycotts against Israel on its human rights record? This blatant attack on our freedom of speech has happened with very little coverage or knowledge on the part of the average constituent, which is what makes this documentary so very important. Boycott follows the stories of three c...

Send us Fan Mail Well, we met a new best friend - her name is Dahlia Gallin Ramirez and she has a new book out called Sex and the Single Panda : The Revolting Pursuit of Love in the Animal Kingdom .  The illustrated book was an idea that came to the cartoonist during the pandemic and explores the bizarre, intriguing, and often *disgusting* mating rituals of the animal kingdom. The book brilliantly...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the Santa Barbara Film Festival! We were unable to join in person, but we still got to cover two very different yet captivating films, A Place in the Field and Fresh to Frightening: The Sharon Green Story .

We haven't had you on since early 2018 (a million and a half years ago!) and we're so happy of all of the things you're doing which includes releasing your first comedy album "We're Done Now."   Irene has been on a streak - opening for Patton Oswalt, making friends with comedian Taylor Tomlinson, making the most of the pandemic,...

Send us Fan Mail The Daniels Everything Everywhere All At Once is 2022's best film. Go see it and tell us it is not. This is the most excited we've been about a major action/sci-fi release in a long time (maybe ever) and we were ecstatic to welcome the lead cast to the mic - Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, and directors  Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.  With the Daniels, we...

Send us Fan Mail Pixar 's Turning Red follows Mei Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian who starts turning into a giant red panda when she gets too excited- a metaphor for "magical puberty". Mei Lee and her friends are also obsessed with a boy band called 4 Town, and with that, the ladies at Bitch Talk have never felt more represented by an animated film. Director Domee Shi shares her...

Send us Fan Mail Well, this wasn't the episode that we planned to put out for today, but due to unforseen circumstances (ie: normalized violence, mental health, and toxic masculinity), we threw out the bat signal and got together to rush this conversation while it was still fresh on our minds. There was reason to be excited about the 94th Academy Awards, and there were plenty of moments that...

Send us Fan Mail It's our 5th and final day of the SXSW Film Festival coverage, and we're ending it with 3 narrative films that we really loved!

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to day three of our SXSW Film Festival coverage, and we've got four films that are certain to spark a greater conversation about the state of our country, government, and world as a whole.  The feature documentary Shouting Down Midnight follows then Texas Senator Wendy Davis ' filibuster of SB5 in 2013 that sparked a whole new generation of activists in the fight...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of our coverage for the SXSW Film Festival , we're bringing you the short films and episodic series that (in our opinion) have the best titles! Considering these names include the words slut, dicks, and gay, that should tell you a lot about us. In the short film Aspirational Slut , we meet Rosemary, who has just gotten her heart broken, and decides she needs t...

Send us Fan Mail Our first episode of the SXSW Film Festival features all return guests to the show! We love seeing familiar faces, and it's especially impressive that these filmmakers are all regulars on the film festival circuit.   Pussy Mask is a music video for Peaches ' new song (of the same name), directed by Leah Shore , who we had on at last year's SXSW for her short film Pu...
