How are you feeling? What questions come to your mind? Where does your mind go? Are you seeking safety? Would this have been an adrenaline rush as you raced to send the resignation response? What an "enhanced standard" regarding loyalty and trustworthiness was? What are these new "enhanced standards?" Are they beyond what my Constitutional oath requires? If I don't resign, how bright will the target on my back glow? My leadership has supported all my work, but would termination direction come from higher up the chain of command? What would you recommend if we talked over coffee? What questions would you ask? How would you use listening? How would you use silence? How is this scenario playing out in your mind and body? What is coming to the surface for you? How might that influence what you are about to say to me? What are the chances of my name popping on a list and getting fired? How about the chances of being part of an official Reduction in Force and early retirement? Would the administration make a better offer? What do I know about the pending job market? What did I expect the workplace to be like and did I want to be there as the contractions took place? Will the administration pay me through the end of September or will they renege? Can I sufficiently build the Curated Questions business to transition by 1 October? - Do I have the faith or confidence to step into this future as a sole practitioner and grow Curated Questions into all I envisioned? Was this purpose calling? What would I expect the job market to look like at the end of summer if I hadn't developed the income streams to maintain our lifestyle? What is your recommendation? Did it change from your initial recommendation? Where in your body are you feeling the uncertainty? Are you processing this scenario in parallel with your decision as if you had received the email? What additional questions should I have considered? Who else should I have consulted with? How would you have changed my risk rating? What is the correct length of the pregnant pause before making an important announcement? What processes would you use in my circumstance, and what would be different? What questions are at the top of your list to get to a decision? Who would be the members of your pantheon you would counsel with to gain clarity? Apart from the heady analysis, what other key practices would you include in your journey through a similar situation?…

The week your heavenly hosts Jo and Rhiannon go googoo for Gaga, in general and also in writer-director-actor-singer-songwriter-Sam Elliott-impressionist Bradley Cooper's passion project: A STAR IS BORN (2018). It goes without saying that we're off the deep end, so watch as we dive into the 21st century's (first) rendition of this rich and timeless folktale for the finale of our She's So Lucky season. It's hard keepin' it so hardcore...but hey, we manage :) Stay tuned for our next season: The Queen's Gambit: The Films of Queen Latifah!…

“It’s a passion, an emotion, it’s a fashion,” it’s: BURLESQUE (2010), the penultimate episode of our She’s So Lucky season! Naturally the movie that brought Christina Aguilera to the silver screen, Cher to musicals, and Stanley Tucci to wearing a feather boa finds Jo and Rhiannon going balls to the absolute wall discussing about this star-bedazzled bustier of a movie, burlesque as a concept/culture/verb/lounge, something known as [the] “vocal runs,” and reckoning with how much they each adore and reference Xtina’s unforgettable debut alongside the Goddess of Pop herself.…

What happens when you contractually obligate the winner (Kelly Clarkson) and runner-up (Justin Guarini) of the first season of American Idol to make a spring break musical together, you ask? Well wonder no longer, dear reader, because the answer is From Justin to Kelly (2003), a movie described by Kelly Clarkson herself as "real, real bad!" A crown jewel of our She's So Lucky season, episode 6 finds your hosts examining American Idol culture, 2003 texting culture, towel choreography culture, and an infamous skirt made entirely out of neckties (eat your heart out, Avril!). Come commit a little American idolatry on the shores of Fort Lauderdale with us and see if you agree with Rhiannon that a film whose star has begged that it not become a cult classic is ultimately "not that bad," or with Jo, who would say that it "is bad."…

Give yourself some bad mood bangs and button up those fuzzy cardigans and tune in to episode 5 of our season dedicated to diva debuts on-screen. Film writer Karen Janszen and Adam Shankman (dir. The Wedding Planner; Cheaper by the Dozen 2) use the dazzling writing of Nicholas Sparks (writ. The Notebook; Nights in Rodanthe) to take us on A Walk to Remember (2002)--one that we'll never forget. This week, Jo and Rhiannon and Jamie (played by enigmatic chartreuse Mandy Moore) are here to teach all of you unruly, misunderstood boys a thing or two about love, faith, telescopes, and abstinence. This coming-of-age romantic drama film got us playing fast and loose roulette with the Christian Church, so don't miss this episode before we're excommunicated and forced to be the leads in the spring musical, just like Landon (fan favorite Shane West).…

Groovy baby, yeah!!! We won't beat around the bush: episode 4 of our She's So Lucky season takes us all the way back in time to 2002 for Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter's acting DEBUT in, you guessed it, AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER, directed by Jay Roach and starring...Mike Meyers...! This episode finds your hosts rightfully unhinged as we attempt to walk a mile in Beyoncé's shiny platform boots and situate the very concept of Austin Powers within the zeitgeist of the 21st century, a conversation that includes real-time searches of "Dr. Evil tattoos," among other things. Oh, and one more thing...BEHAVE!!!…

Episode 3 of our She's So Lucky season all about pop stars on film finds us at a certain Crossroads (2002), starring Britney Spears, Zoe Saldana, Taryn Manning, and Kim Cattrall, directed by Tamra Davis, and written by Shonda Rhimes. In the wise words of Juliette Lewis as shouted over the wise music of Britney Spears: SIMPLER TIMES. To no one's surprise we here at @imdbitchfest take this film VERY seriously--as this episode very much proves! Go back in time with us as we contemplate Crossroads through the lens of evolving and pivotal present-day discourse related to Britney's presence and treatment within pop culture.…

Sparing any lyrical puns about how Obsessed we continue to be with the topic of pop stars on film or how researching for a Mariah-centric episode was a shared Fantasy come true or how All [We] Want for Christmas Is You, we'll just say that this episode truly has it all: Em*n*m; 9/11; and a special reading by Jo Hylton from Mariah Carey's memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey.…

Catch us this season absolutely going off about the singer-to-actress pipeline, movie musicals vs. music movies, the Industry, and more--all through the unbiased and objective lens of our undying love of pop music, pop stars, and pop culture.

What better or more obvious choice to bookend a season all about needing to talk all about Kevin (Smith) than CLERKS II (2006), which reunited audiences with the Quick Stop crew in the new millennium. In this retrospective episode, Jo, Rhiannon, and John reflect on lessons learned, opinions hardened, and what watching seven Kevin Smith movies in rapid succession does to the human mind, body, and spirit. While CLERKS II was certainly not Kevin's last tour through the View Askewniverse, it certainly is IMDbitchfest's!...for now.…

Listen along as we process this sweetie pie daddy-daughter comedy in context and contrast to everything we thought we knew about Kevin.

In this, the fourth episode of Season 4: We Need to Talk About Kevin, Kevin Smith had Jo, Rhiannon, and John questioning their faith as they reckoned with his 1999 religious ~fantasy comedy~ DOGMA. This unholiest of holy romps brings Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, George Carlin, Linda Fiorentino, Janeane Garofalo, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, Salma Hayek, Alan Rickman, Jason Mewes, and literally Alanis Morissette together as Pastor Kevin's congregation of fallen angels, prophets, and misfits.

The girls toast and roast the 1980s as a whole, beg Hollywood to get a grip about tropes and stereotypes about mental health and hospitals, and throw in a few party poppers and resolutions for good measure.
