We’re back from vacation and better than ever! What do we mean by better than ever? We mean that Erica is taking the reigns on today’s episode.
Erica sits down with three seasoned industry vets to get their perspective on the current SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. This week’s episode is a deep dive into what many “blue collar” actors, actresses and writers are experiencing both in the context of the strikes, and the impacts of AI and steaming services.
This episode is a follow up to our previous episode “Scabby’s Angels” so if you’d like to hear more context around these strikes that episode will provide a lot more information.
Let’s get into the Hellscape!

The myth. The legend. The rat. Scabby sways in the breeze nearby any strike as an icon of worker solidarity and warning to those who dare cross the picket line.
Meanwhile, other equally famous icons are joining ranks with the “blue collar actors” to ask for a better deal.
What are the strikes about? Do the wealthy and famous deserve to be there? Who’s a scab and who’s fab? And do frogs deserve love, too?

Episode 7: You Coulda Had a Bad Bitch
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
In this week’s episode Erica takes us to church as we discuss bums, crumbs and scums, and all the toxic masculinity they bring with them. Fueled by Barbie, the pod squad tackles questions like “When does therapy speech become toxic therapy speech?” And “Keke Palmer is dating someone?”
Join us as we dissect Jonah Hill’s leaked texts and google Keke Palmer’s baby daddy’s name so you don’t have to! We’re getting to the bottom of why some men can’t simply let women be who they need to be, and why everyone wants a bad bitch until they have a bad bitch.
