S2 E5: My Mom Died When I Was Bored, That's It

<p>We're back from our surprise mid-season hiatus with Chapter 5: The Talent Contest! First, we discuss moments in the culture that made us realise that pop culture was for us. This is not a movie podcast, but of course we talk mostly about movies. And a little bit about music! And then a lot about Forbiden Fruit!!!!!</p><p>All the drama is really starting to get Tiaa down, until she is signed up for the school talent contest by a mysterious patron. She's not a Mary Sue, but she brings the house down with a VERY goffik song, defeating Bella, Jessica and the other big pink cheerleaders. Ewdard purrs up in his car and ruins everything as usual, and we get THE REVEAL - though it doesn't quite go the way we imagined.</p><p>Listen for the origin story of Lucy and Zac's friendship, for another flawless Lucy impression, and to learn what an #ICP is. We also get side tracked talking about the time we saw N.E.R.D fully shit the bed at Fuji Rock music festival for a good 18 minutes.
