Jinxy and BL debrief of the discourse around "girlhood" culture in light of the Barbie oscars snub, Gracie Abrams bows and Sofia Coppola of it all. They chat about TikTok users' blatant attempts to go viral with girl-branding ("Sleepy Girl Mocktail"), previous girl culture moments that did more than just wear pink. "Can we just go ahead and have IBS without making it into some signifier of hot girlness or cute little babyness?" Tweet by @ronantyche: "barbie movie discourse is so funny because it's just a fun silly movie for the girls until you say anything against it, then it's modern day feminist text, and then when you critique it like feminist text youre misogynistic and insulting something fun and silly for the girls".See Also:Woman in Retrograde By Isabel CristoCeline Sciamma's Girlhood (2014)Girl Culture in the Middle Ages and Renaissance: Performance and Pedagogy by Deanne WilliamsNo More Girlies By Emily GouldTaylor Swift and the Era of the GirlJinxy's Paloma Wool earrings Shaad on Indie SleazeSentimental Garbage: How to Lose a Guy in 10 DaysAlso AlsosHow to Have Sex by Molly Manning Walker, now in cinemasIn Priscilla, She’s the Girl Who Has Everything — Except Actual Power By Alison WillmoreVaster Wilds by Lauren GroffCamp Cope Live at the Sydney Opera HousePat McGrath's MattTrance lipstick in "Forbidden Love (Ultimate Classic Red)"L.A.

But first: Jinxy went to the Gold Coast Golden Globes aka the AACTAs! No Margot sighting though, sadly. Jinxy ate at Sway in Neukoln, got chicken in her "vegetarian miso bowl" and discovered some troubling reviews of a sauna. Between them, she and BL watched Awakenings, Primal Fear & The Devil's Own, the new Mr & Mrs Smith series, Safe and The Iron Claw. Brodie appropriated comedy culture and would like to apologise to the community.Then! Spoiler alert! They do a full-season recap of True Detective: Night Country.

Join the Hogg Hive (aka our members' only club) at Patreon.com/SeeAlso for ad-free episodes, bonus content and more 😘This week, Kate and Brodie are being so decadent, so silly, so Mary! They're going deep on Daisy Von Scherler Mayer's 1995 cult classic, Party Girl, a movie that follows Parker Posey as Mary, who would like a nice powerful mind-altering substance, preferably something that will make her unborn children grow gills, before learning the Dewey Decimal System. We get into designer vs vintage, Liev Schreiber's British accent (better or worse than Brodie's BE HONEST?!), building main characters from all the side characters in other films, meeting the party girls in our own lives, Sisyphus being totally famous, the truth of the film's cultural insensitivities, where has pashing on screen gone, being daffy, The "Lady" Bunny as Itself, getting sick of all the street fashion in London … all those hats, librarians getting silly on the dancefloor.

This week, for Valentine's Day, Brodie is joined by Monica Heisey, author of Really Good, Actually and the brains behind the new romantic comedy series Smothered (on Binge in Australia!) to discuss the iconic chain-smoking spinster, Bridget Jones and her titular Diary.Together they discuss Hugh Grant's aversion to being a heartthrob and his tendency to be HACKED OFF, how getting a leatherbound diary is a rite of passage for women writers, Helen Fielding as the UK's Candace Bushnell, getting sprogged up (yuck), Mark Darcy's "work wife", when would Daniel ever have told Lara Bridget was thin?, getting a job in telly, aspiring to be a cigarette smoking woman with an apartment, we have so much to thank Richard Curtis for, and does the rom-com need a rebrand or do we just need to show them some goddamned respect.See Also:An Oral History of Bridget Jones's DiaryThe long drunken profile of Hugh GrantLaura Snapes on BJD in the Guardian "A Character Actress Trapped in an Ingenue's Body"Also Alsos:Monica recommends: Bread and Butter Chardonnay + The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'DonohueBrodie recommends: Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld + the Netflix doco series on Robbie WilliamsFind us on Instagram @seealsopodcast
