Steel Magnolias: Laughter Through Tears

We NEED to NERD OUT

Listen to hear us nerd out about the random Disney Adult things that came to mind.

Steel Magnolias: Laughter Through Tears

Join us in Truvy’s beauty salon as we revisit the 1989 classic, our favorite movie, Steel Magnolias. In this episode, we talk through the plot while quoting nearly every iconic line. We unpack the film’s layered themes of female friendship, difficult mother-daughter relationships, chronic illness, loss, and grief—all while laughing through tears, just like the movie taught us. Whether you’re a lifelong Steel Magnolias fan or watching for the first time, this episode will feel like sitting on the salon couch with friends, laughing, crying, and remembering that “laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.”

Scheduled Family Meeting

This week, we’re pulling up a seat to our family’s version of “normal.” You know, the one where raising your hand in an argument is totally acceptable, sitting on countertops is a lifestyle, and small talk? Never heard of her. We chat about the weird (but we thought totally normal) ways our family talks to each other—snarky comments, playful jabs, and arguments that outsiders might think are yelling matches (they’re not… mostly). We also dive into how our family traveled differently than most families around us, our chill Sunday dinner habits, and the weird phrases we use that only we understand. If you’ve ever realized your family might be a little weird after moving out, or if you’ve wondered what it’s like to grow up in a house where love sounds suspiciously like a comedy central celebrity roast, this one’s for you.

Weekly Replay

After spending extensive amounts of time together this week, you already know we had to recap every detail. BIg shoutout to Apple Music for giving us our all-time replay as well.

Freedom From Judgment

This week we get into all the things we wish we could do free from societal judgment. And there are some crazy ones I promise.
