Episode 16: Decadent Little Baby

See Also is a weekly dispatch that connects the dots of pop culture, with plenty of further reading and ideas to Add To Cart – or at least Open in New Tab.


This week, Kate and Brodie dish up a buffet of recent TV recommendations, including I Love That For You, Queer as Folk, Only Murders in the Building and Stranger Things. They draw essential links to the satanic panic and The Dead Don't Die – which unfortunately means you're subjected to another frenzied update from Austin Butler's oeuvre. Lean into it.

  • Episode 62: Jawbreaker (Toy Poodle episode)

    This week's poodle episode sees the picture of teenage perfection obliterated by perversion. It's jawbreaker time, baby.The meanest, coolest, hottest girls in Reagan High School play their annual birthday morning prank on their friend Liz Purr, but things go awry when Liz chokes to death on a Jawbreaker. Courtney (Rose McGowan) and her henchwomen Julie (Rebecca Gayheart) and Marcie (Julie Benz) do their best to cover their tracks, and implicating our queen Fern Mayo (Judy Greer) in the process. They transform her into Vylette (learn it, live it, love it) and fumble their way through a criminal investigation led by Judy's sister Pam Grier.Kate and Brodie talk their very different relationships to the film, the "80s does 50s" style, fellating an icepop, Rose McGowan's feud against Can't Hardly Wait, the links to Do Revenge and The Donnas.See Also:Jawbreaker 20th anniversary oral historyRose McGowan and Darren Stein on JawbreakerPerverting the Youth of America: the oral history of teen classic, JawbreakerYoo Hoo by Imperial Teen music video
