  • Too Cool For You – Camp Rock
    Oct 8 2026

    This week we’re chatting about one of our FAVOURITE noughties Disney movies, Camp Rock!! We’ll chat about all the iconic moments, songs and those super skinny white jeans, but we’re also going to unpack the movie’s bigger themes around wanting to fit in and what it means to be "cool". We’ll chat about Mitchie’s friendship with Tess, the lie she tells to try and fit in, and how she loses sight of herself along the way.

  • Grow back down again! – Mamma Mia
    Sep 10 2026

    We are both back from gallivanting around Europe and couldn’t think of a more fitting movie than Mamma Mia! This movie and the accompanying playlist continue to bring us both a lot of joy and we hope you feel that in our episode today! In this episode we chat about how this movie approached the conversation of aging both physically (Tanya) and emotionally (“GROW BACK DOWN”).
