14 - Conscious Uncoupling

Meghann and Kelsey discuss the wildest and most memorable breakups in history.

13 - Madonna, Whore, Spandex

Meghann and Kelsey dish about the cruelest month of the year and the summertime TV that's helping us struggle through it. MAJOR SPOILERS for The Sinner and GLOW, both available on Netflix. Just because our bodies are shutting down from the heat doesn't mean we can't enjoy some quality depictions of complicated female relationships. In Kelsey's own words, we gotta "plug in an IV to our televisions and find something that will sustain us until September." Watch GLOW! It's technically sports!

12 - We're Baaack!

That's right, it's another episode of My Good Bad Taste! Did you think you'd seen the last of us? Well, think again, friendo, because season 2 is here and we're wasting no time getting into the most important topics of the year including ROYAL WEDDINGS, EVEN ROYAL-ER WEDDINGS, and TRUE CRIME DOCUMENTARIES. Come catch up with us, and then let's discuss Netflix's new docuseries -The Staircase. Featured Topics: Which Handmaids Tale are you?, Me Too (yep, again), Chris Hardwick is cancelled-FINALLY, Roseanne is cancelled-FINALLY, Jeffrey Tambor--CANCELLED, Kate Middleton's mom face, The Dress, They caught the Golden State Killer!, Dudes Named Petersen Tend to Murder Their Wives, *Correction: Meghann is dumb and said the song was “I Will Be”, but the song she and Deanna sang at Kelsey’s wedding is called “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” By The Proclaimers.

11 - Awards and Accusations

In a serious episode, the gals try to make sense of the current cultural reckoning of sexual misconduct and violence against women. With new (and often very much not-new) stories surfacing each day, there is a weary abundance of material this episode. We kick off with Oscar predictions in the shadow of the Me Too movement, followed by discussion of two horrifying ongoing unsolved murder cases, and the difference between victim-focused and perpetrator focused storytelling. Finally, a discussion of institutional complicity in the Woody Allen and Larry Nassar assault cases. Trigger Warning: violence against women, sexual assault, James Franco
