S8E1: Dancing Queen | Mata Hari & Ellen Degeneres and Anne Heche Sep 27, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to Season 8! This week, we have two Dancing Queens with some very public baggage. First up, Alicia has the story of legendary erotic performer and alleged super spy, Mata Hari. A cache of documents that became public in 2017 has prompted a re-evaluation of Mata Hari’s World War I loyalties and activities, and really made German and French intelligence look bad. Then, Stacie brings us to the 1990s, when comedian Ellen Degeneres caused the world to lose its mind by coming out as a lesbian. There were consequences, both for her and her then-girlfriend, actress Anne Heche.

S7E10: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart | Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin & Dorothy Dandridge Sep 06, 2020

Show notes

This week, Alicia’s taking a detour to tell the decidedly not-trashy tale of actress and Goopster Gwyneth Paltrow’s conscious uncoupling from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. She really wanted to find some trash in here, y’all, but they kind of handled it really well. Then, Stacie has the sad story of pioneering Black actress and singer Dorothy Dandridge, who pried open a lot of doors in Hollywood that others would walk through, but was never able to have the family she wanted more than anything else.

Curious about "conscious uncoupling?" Here's the book: Conscious Uncoupling: 5 Steps to Living Happily Even After, by Katherine Woodward Thomas

S7E5: Hollaback Girl | Sarah Palin and Todd Palin & Josephine Baker Aug 02, 2020

Show notes

This week, we have a pair of women trailblazers, as well as two often-requested subjects. First up, Stacie has the marriage and divorce of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her now ex-husband, Todd Palin. We’re not sure why they split, but we take a second look at some of how she was treated and check in on the troubled adulthoods of some of the next generation of Palins. Then, Alicia has the incredible-but-true story of entertainment legend Josephine Baker, a woman who did every famous person cliche first, while also spending World War II as a spy coordinating activities for the French Resistance. Oh, does your favorite star not do that?

S7E4: Bad Reputation | The Forgotten Trash Queen Gloria Grahame & Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe Jul 26, 2020

Show notes

Ready for a glimpse at Hollywood, old and new? First up, Alicia has a story so trashy that it erased a two-time Academy Award winner from Hollywood history: Gloria Grahame. At one point, she was married to her ex-son-in-law which meant that one of her four ex-husbands was her father-in-law. Yeah, it’s like that.

Then, Stacie has the much requested youthful marriage and divorce of certified Hollywood beautiful people Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe. Warning: This episode contains a lot of trash cans.
