Episodes 2.06 & 2.07: "Don't I Look Hot?"

Don't Forget the Chickpeas

We stand in full support of Palestinian liberation and believe that Israel should end its genocidal violence and occupation. If you don’t agree, please fuck off.
We cover episodes 2.06, “Never Letting Go”, and 2.07, “Surface Tension”. This episode not only introduces Jessica DiLaurentis, but also gives us our first hint of Wine Moms! We discuss lack of butch representation, social constructions of criminality, and our dream guests on the podcast. Peter Hastings is probably so mad because his secret son is putting up boundaries.

Our awesome theme song is composed by Ashok R. Chandran! You can find his other work at his website.

Transcript: Read it on Buzzsprout!

Chickpeas Oh My Gosh! Cook chickpeas and onion and a lot of spinach in coconut milk and sambar masala. It looks like you can no longer buy the specific sambar masala spice blend Cameron used, but you should still check out Preeti Mistry’s work!

Fashion Analysis: Our ratings of Ali’s dresses in the fashion show!

Deepa’s Literary Analysis: No one should be surprised that Deepa used to be pretentious about James Joyce, but Ezra is somehow worse?
