CRUSHED Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

This week I demanded a Crushed themed episode in honour of my birthday. Fortunately, Auntie Amy complied. We gush over the effortless talented Tom Hardy and the painfully cool Milo Ventimiglia. We hope you like it! Remember to account for those 25% tariffs and may the Cult be with you!

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes Feb 22, 2025

Show notes

I don’t know about you, but we needed a little joy in this sea of unending despair so we thought we would chat about one of our favourite things: Disney. East Coast Auntie Amy came in with the Disney World history and I, West Coast Esteemed Cult Leader Megs, dug up some of my favourite facts and quirks about Disneyland. We hope you like it! Remember to spit out your gum before you enter the park and may the Cult be with you!

Banned from the Bookstore Jan 27, 2025

Show notes

With all of the banning that’s been going on lately, Amy and I thought we’d have a chat about one of our favourite banned things: books. We each picked a few of our favourites including “Lady Chatterly’s Lover” and “Parable of the Sower.” We hope you like it! Remember to forget your old acquaintances and may the Cult be with you!

Forget Your Old Acquaintances Jan 11, 2025

Show notes

In 2025, we have resolved to not make any resolutions but to also keep complaining about the same things. Join us this week as Cult Elder Aunty Amy dives into the history of New Year’s resolutions and I dive into the history of, well, diving into cold water (ie. the polar bear plunge). We hope you like it! Remember to forget your old acquaintances and may the Cult be with you!

We’re back with another spOoOoOky episode! This week we’re talking about cults and what’s more fitting than a cult talking about cults, amirite?
