Hellish Housewives & More! 25.01.2025

This week Nomi was triggered by the most recent episode of  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , and she wanted to get a few things off her chest. We were then led to a discussion about some other things that have been grinding our gears lately.

Mouse Money 25.01.2025

Robert's 40th Birthday is coming up, and he wants to go to Disneyland. It's a special place for both him and Nomi, but now it's a bit loaded.

In this episode we chat a bit about corporate...

A Troll By Any Other Name 25.01.2025

This one's a doozy. It's happened. They're here. It was bound to... the Trolls have come for Nomi! Wanna know what happened? Who said what? And how did Nomi eventually shut that shit down?

Bitch Slap Heard Around The World 25.01.2025

The News can't stop talking about it. You've been talking about it. Even your Grandma's been talking about it... WHAT happened at the Oscars this year?! It's been years since we've watched the show, but were both so shocked when we saw the footage ourselves of what wasn't a bit, but a full-on assault. What are the connotations of actions like this?

If Everyone Else Jumped Off A Bridge... 25.01.2025

For today's episode, Nomi & Robert talk about why the Influencer Culture we're inundated by is so damning and destructive to any real sense of organic or meaningful interaction with people, celebrity or not.

D.A.R.E.- Drugs Are Really Expensive 25.01.2025

Eventually reaching the realization that despite...

Best Little Massacre in Texas 25.01.2025

In Episode 35, Nomi Moore and Robert Fisher talk about the latest in the classic horror franchise,  "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" on Netflix. Better grease up them chains, girl!  Spoilers Abound!

What is Art? 25.01.2025

Robert and Nomi have been making pretty things, specifically artwork! Robert has been fantasizing about the Disney Fan artspace, specifically with a dream to be a Wonderground artist.  Nomi has been creating pieces that speak the many levels of the film Death Becomes Her.

The Games We Play 25.01.2025

Join us this week as we chat all about Board Games!

I just don&apos...

And Just Like That... 25.01.2025

Sex and the City is BACK, and Nomi has quite a bit to say.
