69. Hot Parents II - The Hot Parent Threesome Goon Royale (ft. Breaking Mayberry) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nice. Last week, we discussed the relationship between beauty and representations of parents in media. This week, we're getting stupid with it. Aubrey and Mackenna are joined by the good lads from Breaking Mayberry to place four hot fictional parent couples into a bracket to answer the question: which couple would be the best to have a threesome with? And I'm gonna be real... I don't think you're going to guess who we picked. Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. Aubrey Hoff
68. Hot Parents I - MILFs, DILFs, and Dead Moms, Oh My! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Mackenna and Aubrey examine the question "why are so many parents on TV hot?" And why does Hollywood love to kill off a mom? They also dissect how media uses attractiveness to inform the audience about how good of a parent someone is. And they pitch a hot new TV show starring Aubrey and [redacted hot Hollywood man.] This is a real grab bag of an episode, folks, so get grabbin'!

66. Women in Games I - From Lara Croft to Gamergate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mackenna yells a lot into the microphone this week. Which is surprising because this week's topic is the completely uncontroversial conversation surrounding women in video games. We track the hot girls of the video game boom of the 90s (like Tomb Raider's Lara Croft) through the downfall of booth bathes all the way to the rise of the alt-right, aka a little thing called Gamergate. Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. Aubrey Hoffer, PHd (she/her; @hoff.phd) Logo design: Frey
65. Mormons II - Kody from Sister Wives Sucks (ft. Peyton Flake) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, we are joined by Mackenna's friend and actual ex-Mormon, Peyton Flake, to talk about how mormons have influenced and been depicted in the media. We run through some thoughts on Twilight, Big Love, Under the Banner of Heaven, Sister Wives, The Book of Mormon, Dancing With the Stars, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It's a TV grab bag with LDS flair. And Mackenna learned just how ANNOYING Kody from Sister Wives really is. Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. A
