   The One About Dancing with the Stars Season 35

   Amber and Becky are back after a brief hiatus, catching up on the fangirl moments they’ve missed before diving into the two-night premiere of Dancing with the Stars. They cover the season’s biggest personalities, surprisingly strong first dances, and why fan bases may matter just as much as technique this year. The hosts discuss the premiere’s split format, standout pairings, likely frontrunners, and early eliminations. Along the way, they share quick fangirl updates on School Spirits, Trevor Torgeman, The Traitors, and Ted Lasso. The hosts will be watching to see which contestants improve in the coming weeks, whether fan favorites keep advancing, and if the season continues to reward crowd support and personality alongside dance technique.

   The One About Halloween Horror Nights 2026

   In this episode of Fangirls of a Certain Age, Becky and Amber kick things off with their latest fangirl obsessions before diving into a lively preview of Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando. Amber shares her deep love for the event and walks Becky through the 35th-anniversary lineup, including houses based on Stranger Things, Sinners, Ozzy Osbourne, Hellraiser, Evil Dead Burn, and original concepts like H.R. Blood and Guts, Cyber Gorya, Mad Mades Caged Cannibals, and Jack and Oddfellow: Chaos and Control. The conversation is equal parts spooky and playful as Becky reveals which houses she might actually survive, which ones are a hard no, and which scare zones she’s most curious about. They also discuss returning favorites like Mel’s Die-In Zombies and Club Horror, plus the new Nightmare Fuel show and a Stranger Things lagoon show. Along the way, they trade jokes, share personal horror movie fears, and celebrate the friendship, fandom, and shared experience that make Halloween Horror Nights such a big deal. This episode sets the stage for Becky’s first-ever trip to Halloween Horror Nights with Amber, promising a future recap after they experience the event together.

   The One About John Hughes

   In this episode of Fangirls of a Certain Age, Becky and Amber take on the films of John Hughes with equal parts affection, critique, and nostalgia. Becky comes in as a longtime fan, while Amber watches several classics for the first time and offers a fresh 2026 perspective on what still works — and what absolutely doesn’t. The conversation kicks off with their Fangirl Fifties, covering Olivia Rodrigo’s latest album, the spooky-thriller charm of Widow’s Bay, Pink’s standout Tony Awards hosting, and the announcement of Spring Awakening returning to Broadway. From there, they dig into Hughes’s legacy, from his start at National Lampoon to his coming-of-age classics and family favorites. They compare favorites like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and Vacation, while also unpacking the films’ lasting cultural impact, problematic moments, iconic scenes, and unforgettable music cues. Along the way, they talk about which characters they most relate to, why some films aged better than others, and how Hughes shaped an entire era of teen and family storytelling. This episode is funny, honest, and deeply nostalgic — a conversation about the movies that raised a generation, and the parts of them we can still celebrate and question at the same time.
