Chrishell, Juliette, Lindsay, and Issa: Gang's All Here!
Today I am joined by my best friend, Amanda, via Zoom! Over the years, we have suggested many shows, movies, and artists to one another and have been able to dissect them all to no end! So today, we let you all in on some of the things in pop culture that we have both loved (and sometimes even hated). Try to keep up, we go a mile a minute!

Go On, Take Another Little Piece of My Heart Now, Baby
As Frank Ocean once said, "If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Seriously. Punch them in the face and go get some ice cream." While I don't condone violence, I do agree that getting out your frustrations when it comes to matters of the heart is necessary, however, I recommend music therapy! In today's episode, I give my top five heartbreak songs to get you through those rough patches. So instead of catching an assault charge; catch these tunes, grab that mint chocolate chip, and know that when it comes to matters of the heart, you are not alone. Music Videos for Songs: 5. "Like I Loved You" by Brett Young https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG2azZM4w4o (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG2azZM4w4o) 4.

I'll Be There For You

Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad Boys: You Make Me Feel So Good
After a brief hiatus, I am BACK! And today I am talking about those fictional boys of television who are so good at being so bad.

Netflix and Quarantine?
As most of the country deals with being quarantined, today I try and make your foreseeable future at home a bit more enjoyable with recommendations of original content from Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix. In these uncertain times, one thing you should be able to count on is good, mind-numbing television.

You're My Favorite Mistake
On today's episode, I give a brief update on the ending of this season's Bachelor and the hot mess that evolved on the finale. Next, I talk about the "best" worst movies. What makes a good bad movie? What qualifications lead a potentially good movie down a dark and twisted road? I go through my personal top five "best" worst movies: why I love them so much and why most people think I'm nuts!

Roses, Engagements, Breakups, and Babies: Bachelor Nation
On this episode of Pop Therapy, I go down the deep and winding hole that is the world of Bachelor Nation. From The Bachelor to Bachelorette, with bits of Paradise and others thrown in between, I discuss what the franchise has meant to me, my opinions on seasons past, where I see the franchise headed, and who my favorites (and least favorites) have been. Cuddle up with some chocolate, rosé, and maybe a pillow (in case you get sleepy) as I explore the twisted, ridiculous, amazing world of Bachelor Nation.

Thank God/Goodness It's Friday/Funny!
Sister, sister in the house! In the home studio today is my sister, Laura! On today's edpisode we talk about the shows we watched and loved growing up that were part of the T.G.I.F., One Saturday Morning, and TNBC lineup. We try and sing many of the theme songs from these iconic shows (spoiler alert: we did not do a good job) and we explore the impact these shows had on us. It is an episode full of nostalgia and many, many corny jokes between two sisters. And don't worry, we kept the arguing to a minimum so that our mom didn't threaten to pull the car over and make us walk home. Check out Laura's amazing hair sylist skills at @HairByLauraMurphy on Instagram!

Oh My Gosh, Can I Have Your Autograph?!
After a short but sweet vacation in Los Angeles, I break down how my trip went, my past experiences with the City of Angels, and share a fantastic story about two semi-old broads getting jiggy with it. I then reminisce on my encounters with celebrities both big and small and end with a rant, because who doesn't love a good, bitchy monologue?!

Rom-coms. We all know them, some of us love them.

To All The Fictional Boys I’ve Loved Before
Let’s dive deep on the important things in life: boys. Real-life ones are a pain, so today I focus on the boys that stole my heart on television and movie screens growing up. Do I sound boy crazy? Probably. But have we all been there before with those unattainable, unrealistic, slightly maniacal crushes on celebrities or the characters they played? To quote the great Tina Fey, “You betcha”!
