9 to 5 was a documentary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rewatched 9 to 5 this weekend for the first time since I was a kid. Turns out I only remembered the pot-smoking revenge fantasy part. The actual radical bit — equal pay, job sharing, on-site daycare — is still fiction 46 years later. New episode on that, plus why Warner Bros shelving the Coyote vs. Acme movie is basically a real-life sequel to the plot. Subscribe for the rants the HR department would flag. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get
remembering the OG Radiant Badass (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We lost Dolly Parton this week, and then Tim Curry followed right behind her. It’s the kind of loss that makes you feel the eclipse energy in your bones — a little bit 2016, a little bit too much all at once. This episode starts there: the grief, the parasocial ache of losing someone you never met but somehow knew, and a genuine send-off for the woman who refused to stay in her lane. Then, because sad doesn’t cancel out good things happening, a couple of glimmers: a wonderfully un-heckled night

Okay so one of my friends suggested maybe I might want to rant about social medial’s “kinda chic” trend (thank Jesus if you don’t know what I’m talking about) and I felt an Aries rage rise up my spine like a fire alarm going off in my soul. She was right. You know the trend — “kinda chic to know your barista’s name,” kind of stuff. Ma’am. That’s not chic. That’s a caption generator having a stroke. New episode is me working out why this specific flavor of online garbage got under my skin, and it
Relatable Is a Scam (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Black Diamond watermelon gets the hero's welcome it deserves, and then things get real. This week Elizabeth serves up a summer check-in — the watermelon, an HBO show she refuses to synopsize, an analog-life manifesto — before pivoting hard into a real-time dispatch from the enshittification files: apartment-hunting hellscapes, a rent algorithm that smells suspiciously like price fixing, and a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that has lost the plot entirely. It ends where it should: with a mic drop on
Flipping the Channel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week Elizabeth is riding out oppressive heat and apocalyptic wildfire smoke with real 2020 Flashback Energy, also included: a heroic 31-movies-in-31-days finish (two on the last day, no regrets), and the triumphant return of “cable,” which is not cable, but she’ll take it. Turns out the real prize isn’t the shows — it’s getting to flip mindlessly between them again instead of Committing to a Title, our girl finds her rebellion in unique ways these days. Don’t try to tell her what to watch i
