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.

It finally happened. Rose watched Malcolm in the Middle. The Bush-era suburbia sitcom has long been known to virgins as a Top Five in Fran’s formative cultural objects. Rose’s critique may absolutely shock you. Plus, one episode predicted the plot of a recent horror film???

We also discuss mixed reviews on Demna’s current reign at Gucci as newly appointed creative director after Fran went to the viral resort show in Times Square. For non-fashion virgins, we summarize all the context even if you don’t care about this stuff. But, “this… stuff?” It’s more than just fashion. Demna’s signature aesthetic is so omnipotent, you can’t walk through Bushwick at night without seeing motifs of his influence. Not to mention, the stakes of Gucci’s success will have an impact on the entire luxury industry, which is currently in an existential crisis. 

Also featured in this episode:
What are the best dresses in Disney princess canon?
What the hell is going on with John Travolta’s kangol hat at Cannes?
Rose’s review of Widow’s Bay on Apple TV+
A partial syllabus of summer culture Rose and Fran will discuss in future episodes:
The Vampire Lestat 
House of the Dragon
Euphoria 
Scary Movie 6
The Odyssey 
Disclosure Day 
Maybe Supergirl 
Mmmmaybe Spiderman
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
Blue Film
Ariana Grande’s Petal 
Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love 
Madonna’s Confessions II
