It's another epic session discussing: Does Mary Cosby know she's on TV? Is Jenna too good for reality television? What is "my mom is my best friend" energy? Can Daddy Diaries pay for all of Sheree's bills? And are RHOA and Robert Altman films the same thing?
It's giving literature, it's giving cinema, it's giving homework! Watch The Pass (2023), a Kandi Koated production, for next time.
Smart shit:
Robert Altman, critically acclaimed and award-winning director.
Good Inside by Dr. Becky Kennedy.
Katee Robert, prolific author of smutty books.
Class is in session as Christine, Sarah, and Ana discuss: Is Bethenny Frankel afraid of being sued? Could Shannon Storms Beador get a job as a receptionist? Can Kenya Moore emancipate her embryos? Is being a rich, happily married, successful New Yorker enough?? And did we need a Reality Reckoning on Below Deck Down Under? None of these things will be on any test ever, but you don't want to miss this class.

We're back! Sharpen your pencils because Dumb 101 is back in session. Is New RHONY's Jenna the new Carole? Are Jasmine and Silas the most toxic couple on television? And we debate the rebranding of Graham as Hippie the dog. Lots to catch up on and more to come on Dumb 101.
Class is back in session as we return to the mics to fully discuss Pt. 3 of the VPR Reunion. We dig deep into Sandoval's motives and what he's really angry about, and we take a whirlwind tour of Peter Madrigal's merch website. Light up a delicious Tabaco candle, get out your notebooks, and listen as we discuss: is she a villain or is she a victim?

It's an impromptu study group as Christine, Sarah, Ana, and their friend (and first guest) Katie give their first impressions after watching Pt. 3 of the Vanderpump Rules Reunion. We are buzzing! Is Raquel manipulative or was she manipulated? Did the "reveal" deliver? Did Sandoval orchestrate THIS WHOLE THING? Yes. Grab a seat in the front row and hear us come down from an adrenaline high.
Class is back in session and VPR is back on our screens. The co-hosts discuss the big secret being teased by producers, if Raquel is a villain or a victim, and if someone was doing coke in Andy's bathroom??
Ana, Sarah, and Christine kick off the pod by discussing the most anticipated reality show reunion in Bravo history. Are Sandoval and Raquel pathological? What is LVP's real motivation for defending the Toms? Is Schwartz a demon from hell? (Yes.) All this and more in today's session.
