It’s hard to explain how big Hannah Montana became & how much it permeated youth culture in the mid 2000s. You just kinda had to be there. This week we’re talking about why Hannah Montana Should’ve Been Gay with very special guest, Ellie’s FIANCÉE Bailey Katsumata-Smith! @baileykatsu.bsky.social

It’s all fun and games until somebody murders a stripper. 😵

Rough Night follows a group of girlfriends who spend their bachelorette weekend getting high ❄️, straight up 💀 a man, & trying not to hook up with each other. If this movie had been gayer, Alice wouldn’t have had to kill that man. 💅

The 90-minute movie is SO underappreciated. This week we dive into the sunny waters of Capri to talk about why the 2019 crime-comedy The Hustle Should’ve Been Gay. If you would let Anne Hathaway do questionably dirty things to you (like feed you a 🚽 french fry), you’re going to love this movie 😜.

The background is blue with a repeated wave pattern.
