Bitch Please

R.I.P. Karl...fashion may be dead, but Andie's thigh-high Chanel boots in The Devil Wears Prada will live forever. We disagreed HUGELY on this movie - is it a cautionary tale of workplace bullying and harassment or an aspirational model for no-nonsense boss bitches everywhere? We dissect and discuss the dodgy fashun, massive plot holes and the (mostly) bad men of this 2006 movie.

Reviewing the greatest Christmas movie of all time, Home Alone - where one bratty kid defends his huge mansion against the world's two dumbest burglars. The BP girls discuss the many plot holes and fun trivia of the 1990s classic, like the mysterious dog door (but no family dog), what Peter McCallister does for a job and why this is all Heather's fault. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! Email the Bitch Please team: bpleasepodcast@gmail.comFollow on socials: BPleasePodcast

Hello, Sidney! The seminal teen slasher film Scream came out in 1996 and it holds up as a surprise feminist triumph, filled with empowered female characters taking no shit from their colleagues/classmates/boyfriends/stalkers. It's also a legit fright-fest with a grungy soundtrack and cool cameos. The BP girls dissect the gore in detail in this week's 'I Have That On DVD!.'Email the Bitch Please team: bpleasepodcast@gmail.comFollow on socials: BPleasePodcast

She's All That, starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachel Leigh Cook, had a very simple, unoriginal premise...make-over the dorky girl and lay bets on her virginity and popularity. Ew. PRO: It's only 90 minutes long and the Fat Boy Slim dance scene is still cool. Packed with one-dimensional characters, dodgy hair extensions and nostalgic circa-1999 fashion (hello boob tubes and frosted lipstick), join the BP girls on a hate-watch of She's All That and reminisce about the first time you cut your own fringe.

The hyper-sexy teen romance/drama starring Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Philippe and Sarah Michelle Gellar was pretty much porn for real-life teens in '99. Is it still hot now? Who's the real villain of the Upper East Side? Is it a gooey Shakespearean tragedy or a sex-positive female empowerment movie?

'How do I loathe thee...let me count the ways.' The BP girls dive deep into one of the most memorable and beloved teen movies of the 90s. This very funny chat analyses the heroes and villains of the Shakespeare remake, as well as important plot points like The Prada Backpack and Heath's Glee moment and the big question: what happened to their 'mom'?

School's out! Can't Hardly Wait was one of the defining teen party movies of the 90s. On the surface, this film had it all: nerds getting revenge, virginal sweethearts, sexy dancing to RnB, wiggas with wallet chains, bonehead jocks learning about feelings, and a spontaneous song and dance scene. Plus a sweet love story about a hopeful young guy chasing his dream girl. The BP girls dissect this iconic teen movie scene by scene - was the party as good as we remember?

On DVD this week: Whoopi double feature! The BP girls chat about the iconic Sister Act films, revisiting the highlights and picking through the many plot holes. Fun fact: Whoopi hated making these movies but was the highest paid actress in '92. Plus why Sister Act 1 is really more of a crime caper, and how the 'unruly youths' of Sister Act 2 are actually the sweetest kids on the block. 'I am not, nor have I ever been a Las Vegas showgirl. I am a headliner.'Email the Bitch Please team: bpleasepodcast@gmail.comFollow on socials: BPleasePodcast

First up: The 'Roseanne' cancellation. In an unprecedented move, ABC has pulled the enormously successful sitcom reboot after Roseanne exposed herself as a real-life racist. In TV land, what does it mean to be 'difficult'?  How is bad behaviour handled by producers and what are the consequences for a hit show?Main event: Our behind-the-scenes chat with a production manager onThe Bachelor. Bachelor Nation is the unofficial name for fans of the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. You don't need to be a fan to recognise that the show is FULL of loose cannons. We’ll talk about some examples of shitty behaviour, slutshaming, and general bullshit on- and off-screen and how women are represented and respected – or not, in some cases. It's a franchise that despite it's stupidity, manages to inspire intellectual debate – so can we be feminists and still enjoy this show? Email the Bitch Please team at bpleasepodcast@gmail.comFollow on Facebook at fb.me/BPleasePodcastFollow on Twitter at twitter.com/BPleasePodcastFollow in

Meghan and Harry! The Royal Wedding 2018 was a spectacular show of love and romance, as well as incredible wealth and privilege. The BP girls dissect the guest list, the gossip and the gospel, and question how we can love the modern love story of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex without falling for the fairytale.Email the Bitch Please team at bpleasepodcast@gmail.comFollow on Facebook at fb.me/BPleasePodcastFollow on Twitter at twitter.com/BPleasePodcastFollow in Instagram at instagram.com/BitchPleasePodcast

Grace and Frankie is the hugely successful Netflix comedy show that celebrates women of a certain age who don't necessarily want to grow up. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda look fabulous at 78 and 80 (!), and it has a lot to do with Hollywood's secret 'Beauty Work' effect -  a specialised photoshopping process that helps already-beautiful women look smoother, tighter and younger on screen. Does this kind of digital trickery reinforce impossible beauty standards even into retirement, or is it perfectly fine for a woman to use everything at her disposal to look her best no matter what her age? Does 'embracing ageing' mean we have to bare all? We discuss on the latest character studies episode, plus chat about our favourite characters, moments and style obsessions (house porn! turbans!)Email the Bitch Please team at bpleasepodcast@gmail.comFollow on Facebook at fb.me/BPleasePodcastFollow on Twitter at twitter.com/BPleasePodcastFollow in Instagram at instagram.com/BitchPleasePodcast

We covered it all, plus  (much to Finch's disgust) the arrival of another Kardashian baby with a another questionable name. Email the Bitch Please team at bpleasepodcast@gmail.comFollow on Facebook at fb.me/BPleasePodcastFollow on Twitter at twitter.com/BPleasePodcastFollow in Instagram at instagram.com/BitchPleasePodcast

The original Roseanne was praised for being a realistic portrayal of a working class family in America. Crass, opinionated and brash, the character of Roseanne was nothing like the idealised on-screen mothers before her and we loved her for it. The Roseanne of today is a real-life Trump supporter with problematic - even dangerous - views, and an influential celebrity profile. Her politics can't be ignored, so should we switch off from nostalgia and the new reboot? The BP girls unpack and discuss the first new episode.Email the Bitch Please team at bpleasepodcast@gmail.comFollow on Facebook at fb.me/BPleasePodcastFollow on Twitter at twitter.com/BPleasePodcastFollow in Instagram at instagram.com/BitchPleasePodcast

This week on BP: Miranda for Governor! Carrie and co. never took the subway, but Cynthia Nixon vows to fix it when she runs for office in September. Dismissed as an 'unqualified lesbian', Nixon's not the first celeb to move sideways into politics. A long time activist, she'd be the first woman in the role. Her status as a pop culture icon has everyone wondering...can our favourite TV feminist make history? Plus we recap the highlights of Miranda Hobbes and why 'We Should All Be Mirandas'. Email the Bitch Please team at bpleasepodcast@gmail.comFollow on Facebook at fb.me/BPleasePodcastFollow on Twitter at twitter.com/BPleasePodcastFollow in Instagram at instagram.com/BitchPleasePodcast​
