"I would like to propose that this movie be the official movie mascot for our podcast just because John Waters does what we are trying to do with our podcast—he is trying to break down social norms, stigmas, and things related to marginalized people or people who live outside of the so-called norm, and he tries to make us re-think about how we think people should be."

New episode! Maria and Brandon talk about Serial Mom, the 1994 John Waters cult classic. They talk about how this film represents a lot of what the podcast stands for, and the comment the film makes on the death penalty. Check it out on our website, or in any major podcast channel!

Since @kimbeauxxx asked so nicely, here is Brandon's portrait of Wolfgang Llamadeus Mozart

"Hearing somebody as accomplished as Joe Biden talking about how he is still humiliated by his stutter gives some insight into how serious this condition can be; at the same time, he overcame this and is now the president of the United States."

"It’s a common thing for people in power, like we see in this movie and throughout history, that if you are “weak” and suffer from any illness, you don’t really show that weakness. This notion of weakness and illness being shameful really permeates everywhere and becomes toxic, and that’s how we get the stigma."
