Latest Episodes:

Czech Hunter (feat. Ira Madison III) Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

If you want to do The Holidays with Fran & Rose, you need three things: a hot butterbeer from the The Three Broomsticks at Universal Studios, Kelly Clarkson’s When Christmas Comes Around…, and the 2006 romcom Last Holiday, wherein Queen Latifah invents self care. This episode has all three and more. Ira Madison III is on the show to help explain why a movie with a plot that hinges on the results of a CT scan taken at a department store is a holiday season must-watch. Tangents include: working and quitting retail, Kohl’s Cash, Fran’s stint as a missionary in the Czech Republic, and what the fuck happened to Ira’s 401K.

Plus, the latest in kinda-queer-but-mostly-heterosexual television: Fran & Rose’s highly anticipated thoughts on And Just Like That and 12 Dates of Christmas. And an ode to iconic homoerotic vampire writer Ann Rice.

Latin e quoth, you-jay sava-SOORAY! Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

If you don’t get the title, immediately google “Kim Cattrall scatting.” In honor of the Samantha-less reprisal of their problematic fave TV show Sex and the City, Fran & Rose get into all the reasons why the show was so hilarious, so transgressive, and SO bad. Come for a journey through alllll the gay stuff (“yes ladies, I’m a lesbian”), stay to find out who Carrie really should have ended up with.

Plus, musings on pressing questions like: is Kelly Clarkson the new Queen of Christmas? Whose label told him to never waste a crisis? What do all of Fran & Rose’s most listened to artists this year have in common? Why isn’t Fran a Skims-fluencer yet?

Gaslight, Gucci, Girlboss (feat. Hunter Harris) Dec 02, 2021

Show notes

If you saw the Lady Gaga film House of Gucci, you may have spent some of its 2-hour-and-40-minute runtime asking yourself… how would I have completely rewritten and edited this movie? This week, AMC Stubsinista Fran Tirado & Little Monster Rose Dommu invite Gagaologist & writer Hunter Harris to share her favorite lines and suggested cuts (and bonus takes on Adele, Disney Live Action remakes, Katy Perry, and Jeff Bezos’ Cinderella). Tangents include Ridley Scott’s stocking fetish, how the *real* Gucci family cyberbullied Al Pacino, a herstory of the Girlboss-to-Flop pipeline, and Olive Garden’s Chicken Parmigiana.

Plus: a requiem for Stephen Sondheim and his sex dunegon you’ll never get to go to now, opinions on Gossip Girl, the Janet doc & Grimes’ latest decree, and get out your guillotine for Fran & Rose’s recap of their Black Friday / Cyber Monday shopping <3

When you’re here (at Hot Topic) you’re family Nov 25, 2021

Show notes

Before Rose became the spooky girl with dark, foreboding energy she is today, she was the Eloise of the Boynton Beach Mall, taking cabs alone as a tween to go buy bondage pants and red Manic Panic hair dye. Meanwhile, Fran was on the other side of Hot Topic’s sex dungeon facade, eating an Auntie Anne’s pretzel and longing for gothness. Together they take you through their early aughts evolutions from mall goth to Alternative. Diversions include: the house of pale evil spirits that was Abercrombie and Fitch, Old Navy zip-off ski pants, and Evelyn’s Favorite Pasta.

Plus, hot takes on Adele’s 30, Keanu’s algorithmically perfect Boyfriend moves, why Eddie Redmayne doesn’t need to talk, the latest in Marie Antoinette (2006) inspired girlboss period dramas, and which Housewives Fran & Rose would (and wouldn’t) send on an Ultimate Girls Trip.

Loving HER Was Red (feat. Bowen Yang) Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

Not everyone was radicalized as a Swiftie by Taylor’s groundbreaking 2012 album Red, but a young Bowen Yang — stressed, depressed and sipping pumpkin spice lattes while walking fast through the traffic lights of Midtown Manhattan — was forever altered. He joins Fran and Rose to answer key questions about the famously emotionally maximalist album like: Why is it called Red? Was it the first album where Taylor had bangs? How do you survive being doxxed by radical Swiftites?

Plus, Fran and Rose opine their favorite lyrics (and merch) from the release of Red (Taylor’s Version), debate celebrity-assisted surprise proposals, and explain the cataclysmic events clinching Salt Lake City’s place in the canon of most memorable Real Housewives moments.

Not me, Not Hermione, YOOAUR Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

Fran and Rose make history as the first friends to start a podcast. Their inaugural episode delves into the first media franchise Rose ever stanned and Fran’s first forbidden love: the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Their conversation spans the books, the movies, the horny fanfiction, the not-so invisibility cloaked queer identites of all the characters and the she-who-must-not-be-named of it all.

Plus, Fran tries to stay awake at the movies and Rose draws a line in the sand on Hollywood queer-baiting. Expect hot takes on Wicked, Dune, Spencer and Eternals. And never forget: ACAB includes Harry Potter.
