From Joy to Darkness to Community: Audrey Frasier on Postpartum Depression and Finding Help
Send us a text The story starts with a beautiful birth and an answered prayer—then swerves into a darkness many parents never talk about. Audrey Frasier, a nurse and mom of two, opens up about the weeks after welcoming her second baby: elimination diets that collapsed to eight foods, mastitis and high fevers, a house hit by COVID, and nights carved into 30-minute scraps of sleep.

What if a movie that seemed poised to become a modern classic left you feeling utterly disappointed? This episode unpacks the letdown of "Long Legs," starring Nicolas Cage, with Makayla, Shellee, Camille, and I laying all our cards on the table. We dissect the film's failed attempt to live up to its genre predecessors like "Silence of the Lambs" and "Seven," analyzing its overhyped marketing, shallow plot, and muddled blend of crime and supernatural elements. Makayla and Camille's detailed notes and Shellee’s and my additional thoughts provide a balanced yet critical take on why the film didn't make the grade.
From inconsistent character behaviors to unrealistic police procedures, we leave no stone unturned in our scrutiny of "Long Legs." We question the rushed plot points and ponder the symbolic elements like the eerie phrase "I've got my long legs on" and the early '90s setting. Our discussion highlights the missed opportunities in Nicolas Cage's performance and the failure to develop the FBI agent character meaningfully. Despite its intriguing premise, the movie's lazy writing and lack of engagement left us yearning for a more compelling and intelligent narrative. Tune in to hear why "Long Legs" left us more frustrated than frightened.

How does the latest season of "The Bear" measure up, and what makes Tony's fascination with British lore so compelling? Join us as Makayla and Tony dissect their current TV show binges, from the slow-paced yet rich character backstories of "The Bear" to the high production values of "The Crown." Tony also shares his intriguing experience with "Presumed Innocent" on Apple TV+, noting the dynamic connections to the 1990 film. Plus, hear about their YouTube hobbies and more!
Ever wondered why some shows become our go-to background noise while others have us hooked, despite their flaws? Makayla and Tony dive into the peculiar appeal of "Is it Cake?" and the mixed emotions elicited by "Your Honor." They discuss how "The Bear" masterfully balances chaos with deep storytelling, and why a revisit to the slower-paced "Alone" might just be the perfect antidote. Expect an engaging conversation that juxtaposes high energy with reflective viewing.
Movies and music take center stage as we explore symbolism in "Skinamarink" and the unexpected storytelling of "The Bike Riders." Makayla and Tony also share their admiration for young actors in "Dune 2" and their thoughts on films like "The First Omen," "Immaculate," and "The Iron Claw." Wrapping up with a musical journey from "Deeper Well" to classics by Prince and Michael Jackson, this episode promises a blend of nostalgia and fresh perspectives.
