Brew a hot cup of tea, throw a sweater on your dog or cat and cuddle up with us! Yes, it is indeed Sweater Weather Season on Sparkle and Destroy Podcast and we are HERE FOR IT. Today: Our best fall comfort movies, the only Beanie Baby Danielle ever owned (spoiler alert, it’s a spooky one) and we tackle the age-old question “Is Halloween Millennial Christmas?” Plus, WTF is happening with shadow-banning library books, our fave moments from Spinal Tap 2 (shout out to Morro Bay, CA!) and catching up IRL vs stalking everyone's Instagram Stories.
