Like a Virgin

Society EN ↓ 133 episodes

A new pop culture podcast with a mix of news, cultural criticism, and comedy through a queer-trans lens, hosted by Fran Tirado and Rose Dommu. Though they are best friends now, Fran and Rose grew up very differently. Fran was a cult-ish, sheltered Christian camp counselor and Rose had a penchant for writing deranged fanfiction. Now they’re both godless heathens taking a look back at the formative classics that popped their cherries and made them who they are. Each week, the show starts off with a breakdown of the week’s pop culture news, then does a deep dive into one cultural object that one...

The Real Housewives of Nazareth 23.12.2021

Merry Christmas, virgins! This year, you get the biblical origin story of religious Christmas AND Fran & Rose’s favorite secular Christmas’s offerings. Tangents include: how birthing the messiah would actually be really annoying, Lady Gaga’s not-so-classic Christmas Tree, and Cameron Diaz’s Big Stepmother Energy in The Holiday. Plus, the A24 trailer that’s looking like a True Blood prequel wit...

Czech Hunter (feat. Ira Madison III) 16.12.2021

If you want to do The Holidays with Fran & Rose, you need three things: a hot butterbeer from the The Three Broomsticks at Universal Studios, Kelly Clarkson’s When Christmas Comes Around…, and the 2006 romcom Last Holiday, wherein Queen Latifah invents self care. This episode has all three and more. Ira Madison III is on the show to help explain why a movie with a plot that hinges on the resul...

Latin e quoth, you-jay sava-SOORAY! 09.12.2021

If you don’t get the title, immediately google “Kim Cattrall scatting.” In honor of the Samantha-less reprisal of their problematic fave TV show Sex and the City, Fran & Rose get into all the reasons why the show was so hilarious, so transgressive, and SO bad. Come for a journey through alllll the gay stuff (“yes ladies, I’m a lesbian”), stay to find out who Carrie really should have ended up...

Gaslight, Gucci, Girlboss (feat. Hunter Harris) 02.12.2021

If you saw the Lady Gaga film House of Gucci, you may have spent some of its 2-hour-and-40-minute runtime asking yourself… how would I have completely rewritten and edited this movie? This week, AMC Stubsinista Fran Tirado & Little Monster Rose Dommu invite Gagaologist & writer Hunter Harris to share her favorite lines and suggested cuts (and bonus takes on Adele, Disney Live Action remake...

When you’re here (at Hot Topic) you’re family 25.11.2021

Before Rose became the spooky girl with dark, foreboding energy she is today, she was the Eloise of the Boynton Beach Mall, taking cabs alone as a tween to go buy bondage pants and red Manic Panic hair dye. Meanwhile, Fran was on the other side of Hot Topic’s sex dungeon facade, eating an Auntie Anne’s pretzel and longing for gothness. Together they take you through their early aughts evolutions f...

Loving HER Was Red (feat. Bowen Yang) 18.11.2021

Not everyone was radicalized as a Swiftie by Taylor’s groundbreaking 2012 album Red, but a young Bowen Yang — stressed, depressed and sipping pumpkin spice lattes while walking fast through the traffic lights of Midtown Manhattan — was forever altered. He joins Fran and Rose to answer key questions about the famously emotionally maximalist album like: Why is it called Red? Was it the first album w...

Not me, Not Hermione, YOOAUR 11.11.2021

Fran and Rose make history as the first friends to start a podcast. Their inaugural episode delves into the first media franchise Rose ever stanned and Fran’s first forbidden love: the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Their conversation spans the books, the movies, the horny fanfiction, the not-so invisibility cloaked queer identites of all the characters and the she-who-must-not-be-named of it al...
