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.

Girl, we were born to review Devil Wears Prada 2. And not just because we are f*gg*t-of-center, but because we have both survived some of the unique perils and plights of a modern media industry as depicted in this slightly lukewarm sequel. 

Did we love this movie? Not really. Did we think its depictions of a dying industry were sharp, satiatingly if-you-know-you-know, and at times scary in their ability to resemble their real-life counterparts? Absolutely. 

Our hour-long review discusses the “Anna” of it all, Fran’s time working for her, and a deep dive into the film’s haunting end.

This episode also features:
Rose’s recommendation for Mel C’s new album Sweat
Why Fran is recently obsessed with Ninajirachi
A new LAV brand pillar has emerged, and it goes by the name Half Man on HBOmax — quintessentially Fran-and-Rose shit in the sense that it is prestige stepbrother porn.
Is the Met Gala dead? Our favorites from the night, an explanation of the theme, and our honest opinion on Hudson William’s “look.”

Xoxo Fran & Rose
