Deep Divers, school is back in sesh and June and Jess are clinging to the shreds of Summer II. Kids are coughing, the DNC has ended, and who knows, aliens may make an appearance before we have time to regulate. As a salve, June and Jess reflect on the power of a gorgeous set of press-ons and an early morning ocean swim; then June tells a cautionary tale about a girl named Puddin'. Remember Deep Divers: nobody has their sh*t together.

Each week, comedians and best friends Jessica St. Clair and June Diane Raphael take a ‘deep dive’ into their real lives and discuss a wide range of topics including how to pursue joy amidst the insanity of motherhood and family, grief and loss, sh*t they put on their faces, and why they refuse to check their voicemails or unpack their suitcases. The Deep Dive captures the friendship of two women trying to survive adult womanhood. Their motto, shared by their loyal Deep Divers, is "Let Us Live!"

We’re excited to drop in your feed today to tell you about the Pop Culture Debate Club, a show from Lemonada Media and the BBC. Being a pop culture fan naturally comes with a lot of opinions. You’ve got your favorites and you’re ready to defend your picks at a moment’s notice. That’s what Pop Culture Debate Club is all about. Each week, two notable mega-fans square off, ready to convince host Aminatou Sow that their opinion on TV, movies, and music is the only one that matters. And then Aminatou picks a winner. But we’re all friends, so even though someone wins, no one loses. 



You’re about to hear an episode from Pop Culture Debate Club featuring our very own Deep Dive hosts, Jessica St. Clair and June Diane Raphael, as they debate which made-for-TV movie on the Lifetime Network is the best of all time. Jessica St. Clair chose Jackie’s Back! (1999) and June Diane Raphael picked the 2016 remake of Mother, May I Sleep with Danger? But, how do you compare a shockingly star-studded mockumentary with a sexy vampire thriller? That’s Aminatou Sow’s challenge this week! She does her best to weigh the pros and cons of each pick and also puts June and Jess’s love of Lifetime movies to the test in a lightning round where they have to suss out real movie plots from made-up ones – all in order to decide which Lifetime original movie is the best ever.
