Like a Virgin: Daily Summaries Delivered
by iHeartPodcasts
A new pop culture podcast with a mix of news, cultural criticism, and comedy through a queer-trans lens, hosted by Fran Tirado and Rose Dommu. Though they are best friends now, Fran and Rose grew up very differently. Fran was a cult-ish, sheltered Christian camp counselor and Rose had a penchant for writing deranged fanfiction. Now they’re both godless heathens taking a look back at the formative classics that popped their cherries and made them who they are. Each week, the show starts off with a breakdown of the week’s pop culture news, then does a deep dive into one cultural object that one of them might be experiencing for the first time. They’ll also invite writers, comedians, activists, and entertainers to help them break it down.

Malcolm in the Middle of Myrtle-Broadway
GET AD-FREE EPISODES AND BONUS EPISODES ONLY ON PATREON.COM/LIKEAVIRGIN — thank u for supporting our work! It finally happened. Rose watched Malcolm in the Middle. The Bush-era suburbia sitcom has long been known to virgins as a Top Five in Fran’s formative cultural objects. Rose’s critique may absolutely shock you. Plus, one episode predicted the plot of a recent horror film??? We also discuss mixed reviews on Demna’s current reign at Gucci as newly appointed creative director after Fran went to the viral resort show in Times Square. For non-fashion virgins, we summarize all the context even if you don’t care about this stuff. But, “this… stuff?” It’s more than just fashion. Demna’s signature aesthetic is so omnipotent, you can’t walk through Bushwick at night without seeing motifs of his influence. Not to mention, the stakes of Gucci’s success will have an impact on the entire luxury industry, which is currently in an existential crisis. Also featured in this episode: What are the best dresses in Disney princess canon? What the hell is going on with John Travolta’s kangol hat at Cannes? Rose’s review of Widow’s Bay on Apple TV+ A partial syllabus of summer culture Rose and Fran will discuss in future episodes: The Vampire Lestat House of the Dragon Euphoria Scary Movie 6 The Odyssey Disclosure Day Maybe Supergirl Mmmmaybe Spiderman Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma Blue Film Ariana Grande’s Petal Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love Madonna’s Confessions II Xoxo Fran & Rose Follow us on IG for memes and show updates: @likeavirgin42069 GET AD-FREE EPISODES AND BONUS EPISODES ONLY ON PATREON.COM/LIKEAVIRGIN — thank u for supporting our work!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Devil Wears Prada 2: 2 Way 2 Run
Girl, we were born to review Devil Wears Prada 2. And not just because we are f*gg*t-of-center, but because we have both survived some of the unique perils and plights of a modern media industry as depicted in this slightly lukewarm sequel. Did we love this movie? Not really. Did we think its depictions of a dying industry were sharp, satiatingly if-you-know-you-know, and at times scary in their ability to resemble their real-life counterparts? Absolutely. Our hour-long review discusses the “Anna” of it all, Fran’s time working for her, and a deep dive into the film’s haunting end. This episode also features: Rose’s recommendation for Mel C’s new album Sweat Why Fran is recently obsessed with Ninajirachi A new LAV brand pillar has emerged, and it goes by the name Half Man on HBOmax — quintessentially Fran-and-Rose shit in the sense that it is prestige stepbrother porn. Is the Met Gala dead? Our favorites from the night, an explanation of the theme, and our honest opinion on Hudson William’s “look.” Xoxo Fran & Rose Join us on Patreon for weekly episodes and more patreon.com/LikeaVirgin Follow us on IG for memes and show updates: @likeavirgin42069See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
