Point and Laugh follows friends (and court jesters) Skyler and Kaylynne as they gossip and gab about the various topics that plague their existence in this capitalist hellscape.
From baby's first trip to Erewhon, to why you might (or might not) be someone who chronically crushes on people, tune in each week to hear these girls play detective to the most draining aspects of girlhood.
Are you chronically online? Do you have issues with your mother? Plug in some headphones and point and laugh – at your own discretion. Sometimes we get loud.
The long-awaited finale, the last dance, the coup de grâce - everyone, this has been Point and Laugh!! Skyler and Kaylynne take their final bows as they pop some Champagne, play a round of We're Not Really Strangers, and reminisce on the end of an era. In this series finale, the girls are at their gabbiest, the lore is at its richest, and you have all officially become part of our inner circle. Join the victory lap with our two favorite anticapitalist Court Jesters as they close the book on this exploration of girlhood, obsessions, society, and never-ending sentences.
Thank you and Goodnight!

49: Who Am I Without My Trinkets?
In this penultimate episode of Point and Laugh, Skyler and Kaylynne go into their most existential convo yet - who are we outside of…stuff? Our old arch nemesis Capitalism is back for one more round as we try to separate our personhood from the things we can consume. If you’ve ever had a breakdown and then went “wait I bet this would be a cool scene in a movie”, then this episode is for you! Don that main character energy and your aesthetically curated uniform, it’s time to ask the biggest question of all: who are we without our little trinkets?
