Ep 90 – REWIND: Does Lena Dunham deserve yet another comeback?
While Sarah and Sadaf take a little summer break, this week, we revisit an episode from the archives, in which the pair discuss the many scandals of one Lena Dunham, the frequently problematic, award-winning writer, filmmaker and actor. Although she has managed to piss off just about every community at some point in time, she did create the seminal series Girls — so, does she deserve a return? Is she truly a voice of a generation? Especially with her delicious new series Too Much? Let’s debate.

Ep 88 – Is Alex Cooper a visionary? The Call Her Daddy debate
On this week's episode, we’re diving deep into the cultural phenomenon that is Call Her Daddy. We revisit its early Barstool days, the infamous feud between hosts Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn, the multimillion-dollar Spotify deal that changed podcasting forever—and the ongoing debate: is Call Her Daddy empowering women, or simply rebranding patriarchy for clicks? Along the way, we unpack the show's complicated relationship to feminism, internet fame, and the commodification of female sexuality. Plus: the evolution of Alex Cooper from raunchy co-host to media mogul.

Ep 86 – Revisiting Sex and the City, from all the cosmos to the chaos
On this week's episode, we delve into the cultural phenomenon that is Sex and the City, its impact on women's representation in media, some of its problematic history and, of course, the ongoing feud between stars Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker. Unfortunately, this also means we reflect on the abysmal sequel series And Just Like That, and just how relevant Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha remain today. Plus: all the fashion and the men. It's a delicious time.

Ep 84 – Mindy Kaling: Trailblazer or sellout?
On this week's episode, we delve into the life and career of Mindy Kaling, including her rise as a multi-hyphenate talent, her cultural significance, and her complicated relationship with one BJ Novak (ahem, yuck). Of course, this also all means we're touching on The Office (U.K. versus U.S.) as well as the pressures of representation she's faced as a South Asian woman in Hollywood, who the father of her baby is (!!!), and just how rough the public seems to be when it comes to her body. It's...a lot, get into it.
