Fran &amp; Rose are musical theater girls. They're in recovery, but that doesn't mean they won't still passionately debate who is responsible for a lapse in believability in the latest movie adaptation of West Side Story. Is it the director Steven Spielberg? Or is it William Shakespeare, who wrote the musical's original source material, Romeo &amp; Juliet? Spoiler: Fran has notes for Shakespeare. Rose: “no notes” for Shakespeare. Other tangents include: Amanda Bynes inventing Channing Tatum, the anecdote that explains why the original West Side Story is even "about" Puerto Ricans, and grudges Fran &amp; Rose are still holding against their high school theater directors &lt;3Plus, they debrief the Yellowjackets season finale, try to figure out what weed Che Diaz is doing, and break down the dynamics and best performances on this season of Drag Race.

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.
