Like a Virgin

Slay What You Wanna Slay (feat. Evan Ross Katz)

In every generation there is a Virgin — the kind who hasn't until very recently seen turn of the millenium hit TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer. This week, That Virgin is Fran, and this week, Fran gets inducted into Buffy fandom by superstans Rose and guest Watcher Evan Ross Katz, writer &amp; Buffy herstorian. Their conversation spans teenage Buffy fandom — the message boards, fan fiction and the torture of real-time TV, the genius of Sarah Michelle Gellar, the ways that Buffy was the blueprint for a lot of what we know and love in TV today, and how the women who made Buffy what it is keep fans' love afloat in spite of the J*ss Wh*d*on-of-it-all.Plus, Fran &amp; Rose are still reeling from the cultural reset that is Rihanna's pregnancy announcement, J Lo's Drag Race cameo, Real Housewives pretending they suddenly care about racism, and the total bummer penultimate episode of And Just Like That's first season.

A new pop culture podcast with a mix of news, cultural criticism, and comedy through a queer-trans lens, hosted by Fran Tirado and Rose Dommu.
Though they are best friends now, Fran and Rose grew up very differently. Fran was a cult-ish, sheltered Christian camp counselor and Rose had a penchant for writing deranged fanfiction. Now they’re both godless heathens taking a look back at the formative classics that popped their cherries and made them who they are.
Each week, the show starts off with a breakdown of the week’s pop culture news, then does a deep dive into one cultural object that one of them might be experiencing for the first time. They’ll also invite writers, comedians, activists, and entertainers to help them break it down.
