I listened for Yellowjackets but was immediately deterred by the nonchalant reference to drinking $1500 tequila in Mexico. Newsflash, the “Judith Krantz” generation applied to about 17 of the richest whitest women in America and E.Jean Carroll is not required to perform her trauma for anyone. Also, I think the hosts need to revisit the definition of the word “ruin.”
Listening to King Richard episode and thinking that a lot of questions could be resolved through the lens of their being Jehovah’s Witnesses. He is the patriarch and you don’t question the patriarch.
So glad I began listening to the Sauce and happy to be binging to catch up. Hearing these insightful women dismantle current culture and news of the day with critical and historical knowledge, good drinks and humor has been cleansing. Get your double feminism over ice with a dash of f*cks and plenty of warmth. The rapport between these women is super smooth and moves you through the issues so well.
Only a couple of weeks ago did I find this podcast, completely by accident, and it might be my favorite piece of media I’ve encountered this year. The hosts tear into their subjects with such clarity and depth, you may need a cigarette afterwards. So satisfying. Thank you, thank you, Rebecca and Maya!
I could listen to these two talk about anything. They bring knowledge, historical context and nuance. They go two or three layers deeper than so many other podcasts talking about pop culture.
