Ricki Lake delivers both some serious (but also very unserious) toxicity in the form of possible marriages and the people around them, and some very unfortunate late 90's haircuts.

Jenny Jones has arranged a well thought-out tableau of baby-adjacent love triangles for our viewing pleasure, but since no one talks any sense, it devolves from beautiful dinner party vibes to every-man-for-themselves all-you-can-eat buffet pretty quickly. The guys are terrible, the women have low self-esteem, and everyone is highly entertaining. Special Guests including: Sarah Polley, Selena, Che...
