071: Bohemian Rhapsody
November 06, 2018 14:19 - 1 hour - 49.5 MBBeauty and the Bitch consider themselves queens among men, but we're happy to bow down next to the incomparable talent and fierceness of Freddie Mercury (and Rami Malek!).

070: Charmed
October 23, 2018 22:40 - 49 minutes - 38.2 MBBeauty and the Bitch is very on the fence about the upcoming reboot of "Charmed" on the CW. Now, look, it IS true that Morgan was into the original Charmed, But these days she recognizes that it's probably just a pile of 90's garbage. Mic watched it for the first time recently and can confirm fully that it is indeed a pile of 90's garbage. But it certainly contains drama...and you know we love drama! Catch all the deets about the original run and the reboot that's out now! We love you ...

068: The Walking Dead
October 11, 2018 23:23 - 1 hour - 54.3 MBBeauty and the Bitch have a love/hate relationship with AMC's The Walking Dead. We used to love it, and now we hate/love it. Like, is it truly terrible now? Or are we missing something? Either way, we're back this week to get "hyped" for the a new season of Robert Kirkman's masterpiece with criticism and jokes about death. Your favorite kind!

October 03, 2018 15:27 - 54 minutes - 42.5 MBBeauty and the Bitch is here to bring the nostalgia back with GOOSEBUMPS this week. SPOILER ALERT: the theme song is lit and so are WE.

066: Superstore
September 25, 2018 23:12 - 48 minutes - 37.7 MBBeauty and the Bitch is obsessed with Superstore and we think YOU SHOULD BE TOO. If you've never seen this NBC sitcome (also available on HULU) then you need to stop EVERYTHING you are doing right now and go watch all of it! Today's episode has *some* shade, but we're mostly here to share the love (plus indulge in tangential non-sequitors where we complain and chat as per usual). PLUGS: Mic recommends you check out Go-Go Boy Interrupted featuring Nico Santos (MATEO!). Morgan actuall...
065: The House with a Clock in its Walls
September 19, 2018 17:47 - 54 minutes - 41.1 MBBeauty and the Bitch is bringing nostalgia back (YEP) and talking all things The House with a Clock in Its Walls. This 1973 juvenile mystery fiction novel written by John Bellairs and illustrated by Edward Gorey is the first in a series of twelve novels featuring the fictional American boy Lewis Barnavelt. Mic was a big fan as a young person and there will likely be many more fans of the upcoming movie adaptation that is set to release on September 21st, 2018. Whether you love YA, myster...
064: I'll Be Gone in the Dark
September 11, 2018 23:46 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBBeauty and the Bitch GOES THERE (like Degrassi); this week we are taking on true crime and one CRAZY case in particular. The Golden State Killer was arrested for his crime spree (circa 70's-80's) just this year, thanks to advanced DNA technology. Michelle McNamara unfortunately didn't live to witness justice. She passed away in 2017, but her book I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer was published posthumously. Her desire to help get this case s...
063: Neverwhere
September 06, 2018 18:30 - 59 minutes - 45.2 MBThis week Beauty and the Bitch are diving into Neil Gaiman's CLASSIC "Neverwhere." Originally adapted as a BBC II Mini-series, Gaiman quickly saw the need to re-write and adapt as a novel alongside the show. (TIPS: The novel is way better). Mic and Morgan discuss a shared love of Gaiman (and Gay-men), while disecting Neverwhere and who should check it out (EVERYONE REALLY). PLUGS: Mic just saw Room (he's late, okay) and thinks EVERYONE SHOULD SEE IT. It's beautiful, sad, inspiring, and...
062: Outlander
August 29, 2018 13:44 - 1 hour - 50.1 MBThis week Beauty and the Bitch are diving into Diana Gabaldon's Outlander! Oooh sexxxy! Starz has popularized this fantasy/romance/period drama and season 4 starts VERY SHORTLY. Morgan is a big fan and is currently plowing through Book 4 in preparation for Season 4. Mic thinks it all sounds slightly ridiculous, but agrees that Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser) is a god among men (SPOILERS: we talk about this fact. A. Lot). So, if you're into time travelling, fantasy, period pieces, messy famil...
061: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2
August 21, 2018 00:06 - 51 minutes - 39.7 MBThis week Beauty and the Bitch are actually wrapping up our Harry Potter talks with Part 2 of our Deathly Hallows discussion. It's bittersweet that we made it all this way; a year-and-a-half into our podcast and our beloved Potter-talk is ACTUALLY wrapping up. We've got all the feelings, all the hype, lots of jokes (we coat our sadness with comedy), predictions about futures & musings on the past. Also shade. SO MUCH SHADE. Hot takes: Hermione is NOT a virgin, but Harry and Ron for sure a...
060: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1
August 13, 2018 15:11 - 50 minutes - 38.3 MBThis week Beauty and the Bitch are taking on Part 1 of our Harry Potter finale (of the original series...we'll find more HP to talk about!). It's bittersweet that we made it all this way; a year-and-a-half into our podcast and our beloved Potter-talk is ACTUALLY wrapping up. We have so many emotions about the first time we read this book (Mic has only read it once because he doesn't like for things to end). We've got all the feelings, all the hype, and some movie chatter (some good, some BAD...
059: The Wise Man's Fear
August 08, 2018 00:59 - 1 hour - 54.7 MBThis week Beauty and the Bitch are PUMPED to talk more Patrick Rothfuss news! Part Two of our Kingkiller Chronicle coverage includes all the latest internet gossip on the upcoming film and TV adaptations and what we know about Book Three (practically nothing, TBH). We do a little fantasy casting (BECAUSE WE LOVE TO DREAM BIG) and spill some T on what we love and don't love about The Wise Man's Fear. Are you obsessed with Kvothe and his journey? Not sure if it's worthwhile? This is a 98% s...
058: The Name of the Wind
July 31, 2018 00:24 - 1 hour - 53.4 MBThis week Beauty and the Bitch are joined by their most popular guest: a bottle of wine! Okay, but really, we record on Wednesday and it just *happens* to be hump day. This week we are HYPED to discuss one of our all-time favorite fantasy books, Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind. Rothfuss is one of the most popular fantasy authors writing today (alongside Brandon Sanderson & George R.R. Martin) and we are waiting (impatiently) for the conclusion of his trilogy! We dive into the sto...
057: Teen Titans Go! To the Movies
July 24, 2018 23:47 - 1 hour - 46.3 MBThe DCEU is constantly evolving and growing and they have a lot on the table right now! In this episode of Beauty and the Bitch we are diving into Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, the new DC streaming service "DC Universe", (which brought you the slogan "Fuck Batman!"... SO THAT'S A CHOICE) and other DC adjacent projects. Mic brings us all the deets on the new streaming service and what's on the docket. If you love DC there is a lot to look forward to! As always, we're joined by a bottle of...
056: Hostful Episode - Sex and Politics
July 17, 2018 00:21 - 1 hour - 75.4 MBBeauty and The Bitch are sitting down this week with Jessamyn Fitzpatrick, traveling theatre artist and sex educator (and Mic's longtime friend). We discuss politics, problems she has with our podcast (?!), pop culture controversies and the general lack of female orgasms in media (we'll help you find a few, no worries). Jessamyn helps us address topics we're very passionate about but rarely fully discuss: representataion in entertainment, #MeToo, and how much wine we've consumed. Okay, wel...
055: Terry Brooks / The Shannara Chronicles
July 10, 2018 14:27 - 1 hour - 68 MBBeauty and the Bitch have a collective revelation: we have missed out on years of books by Terry Brooks. Mic has read a few and Morgan has read none, but SOMEHOW we still manage to have opinions about everything. Join us as we binge "The Shannara Chronicles", have feelings about Terry Brooks impressive (and intimidating) output, discuss the current state of fantasy and lots of other shenanigans and bitchiness! PLUGS: Mic thinks White Trash: Race and Class in America is an important r...
054: Ant-Man and the Wasp
July 04, 2018 14:54 - 1 hour - 52.4 MBBeauty and the Bitch are here to discuss all things Ant-Man and the Wasp, but we will not be skimping on the MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL: Michelle Pfeiffer. We're excited to see how Janet van Dyne survived the Quantum Realm (remember? She got sooooo smaaallllll!?!?) and have all the fan theories & predictions. Plus, we're here to help you make connections between Marvel's Infinity War, Ant-Man, and the rest of the MCU. What cameos do we predict? Who will die? Who will get VERY SMALL!?!? ...
053: Preacher
June 26, 2018 14:24 - 1 hour - 55.8 MBThere's nothing more sacrilegious than Beauty and the Bitch....except maybe Preacher! Initially a graphic novel created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, Preacher has been brought to life on AMC by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (and company). Now, we think this is an...interesting choice for AMC...and we have a lot of feelings. Meander along with us as Morgan speaks unintelligently and Mic imparts (frequently and at length) nuggets of his vast comic book knowledge. Just kidding, they bot...
052: Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
June 18, 2018 13:28 - 1 hour - 56 MBBeauty and the Bitch are joined today by our good friend Sarah (dinosaur expert*) to discuss Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom! Today we explore the drama of Hollywood, whether or not we actually would pay $$ to go to real-life Jurassic World, why high heels in Jurassic Park make us furious (I mean, come on), chemistry and lack thereof, our fave dinos, games and wordplay - AND SO MUCH MORE! If you feel that deep nostalgia when thinking of Jurassic Park, but you're also a cynical and judgment...

We are again joined this week by Harry Potter superfan Ashley (@lifestyledxash)...and by two additional bottles of wine. All three are delicious and inspiring and our discussion is POPPING.

We continue our deep-diving into Harry's complicated and angst-ridden relationships, sprinkling in games lime...
050: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Pt. 1
June 05, 2018 05:16 - 55 minutes - 42 MBWe're joined again this week by Harry Potter superfan Ashley (@lifestyledxash)...and by two bottles of wine. All three are delicious and inspiring and our discussion is POPPING. Book 6 is the beginning of the end of the series, of Voldemort, and of Harry's childhood. We attempt to do it justice by slurring through a (pretty freaking decent) 2 Minute Recap and deep-diving into Harry's complicated and angst-ridden relationships. Malfoy gets his five minutes of Beauty and the Bitch fame (ok...
049: Deadpool 2
May 28, 2018 11:30 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBListen, we love Deadpool. We think Ryan Reynolds is the brilliant and foul-mouthed antihero we deserve. In fact, we're COMPLETELY behind the first installment of Deadpool (like, almost no scruples at all) and we predict that Deadpool 2 is gonna crush it (whether measured in dollars or giggles or both). Come and relive our favorite Deadpool moments with a 2 Minute Recap (that Morgy crushes), games, secret histories, laughs at the expense of other movies and other humans and MORE. Where d...
048: Solo: A Star Wars Story
May 21, 2018 12:00 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBThis week on the podcast we're talking about sequels & Solo: A Star Wars Story, which is out just in time for summer blockbuster season. We're (sort of) excited for it! We, of course, have some scruples (after all, this is "Beauty and the Bitch: Scruple-Cast"), but we're very excited to see Donald Glover as a young Lando! Sequels and spin-offs are a big part of the Hollywood landscape right now, so we also discuss these larger trends. Is creativity dead? Do we find the best writing in expl...
047: Slender Man / Urban Legends
May 15, 2018 17:31 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBWe both grew up with urban legends that led to sleeplessness, frightening fun with friends, and fear of the dark. These legends vary geographically and the most popular tales change over time as new fears are introduced. Slender Man is a recently developed urban legend that was born on the internet is and, frankly, scary as shit (!!). BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAAAN?! Come check out the history of urban legends and the birth of Slender Man with Beauty and the Bitch! This episode covers the fo...
046: Summer Blockbusters
May 08, 2018 18:19 - 1 hour - 52.1 MBThe Summer Blockbusters are almost here! There will be countless explosions, superheroes, car chases, dinosaurs, quips, rips & (badly written) romance. We LIVE for the summer blockbusters that breathe entertainment into our lives and get us hyped for the heat (we've got PLENTY in Texas). Here's our countdown of the top summer movies and probable flops! What Summer Blockbusters are you stoked about? Let us know! FOLLOW: Follow Morgan (@MorganizedMess) and the podcast (@BandBcast)...
045: Movies that Never Were
May 01, 2018 17:40 - 1 hour - 56 MBHave you heard about these Movies That Never Were? There are many near-miss Hollywood projects that are initially greenlit but eventually founder. Maybe it was a great idea, maybe it even began production...and maybe it dramatically fell apart because of money issues. If it could have been but never was, we're talking about it today! Speculation is our strong suit and throwing around baseless judgement is our mainstay. Join us for a countdown of our top "Movies That Never Were" a...
044: Avengers: Infinity War
April 23, 2018 18:23 - 1 hour - 69.2 MBMarvel's latest installment (Avengers: Infinity War) is GOING TO BE BANANAS (B-A-N-A-N-A-S). There is so much leading up to this installment (including 18 full-length feature films, and approximately 50,000 episodes of TV......that *some* of us haven't gotten around to yet!). So, needless to say, THIS IS A LOT TO PREPARE FOR. Fret not BB's, for we are here to help! We are joined on todays episode by our very dear friend (and first repeat guest!) Dr. Andrew Friedenthal, who puts his comic b...
043: The Handmaid's Tale
April 16, 2018 19:47 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBMargaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale was an amazing memoir published in 1985. FAKE NEWS! Just kidding, The Handmaid's Tale was NOT a memoir, but has the horrifying potential to become such. We love that this book covers topics pertinent to today's society and acts as a reminder of what could be if we let hatred win. The story has been adapted for the screen by HULU and sesason two is just around the corner! Check out our episode for a recap of Season 1 (and feelings), and season 2 pre...
042: Voldemort: Origins of the Heir
April 09, 2018 12:00 - 1 hour - 49 MBToday on Beauty and the Bitch, Mic and Morgan take a deep dive into the amazing (and explicit) world of fan-fiction by exploring the latest Potter-craze: Voldemort: Origins of the Heir. This 52 minute long fan-film brings us the history of Tom Marvolo Riddle (I AM LORD VOLDEMORT), which we DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE WERE MISSING IN OUR LIVES! We explore some other amazing Potter fan-fiction out there, discuss our anger with calling "no-homo" on Dumbledore, talk about what we're missing in the P...
041: American Gods
April 02, 2018 22:50 - 1 hour - 49.8 MBNeil Gaiman is a master of words and we love and respect his every move here at Beauty and the Bitch. That being said, we did of course make room to TEAR THIS HOUSE TO THE GROUND. American Gods is (in our opinion) one of the best books (EVER) and a Gaiman classic. It has been turned into a STARZ adaptation and is set to launch Season Two in April 2018. HOWEVER, there is too much drama not to discuss! Gaiman is right in the middle; people are leaving; show runners are changing; story lines...
040: Ready Player One
March 26, 2018 00:10 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBAustin, Texas' very own Ernest Cline has given us a sweeping sci-fi/fantasy epic made for every kid from the 80's who LOVES nostalgia (and video games, and movies, and books, and style AND DRAMA). "Ready Player One" was one of Morgan's favorite reads of last year (though it came out several years ago), and is definitely for most any Sci-Fi/Fantasy Lover! It hits all of *our* buttons, so we're a little biased here, but WE LOVE IT. And, to commemorate our love for the book, we have brought a...
039: The Hobbit, pt. 3
March 19, 2018 02:14 - 58 minutes - 44.4 MBBeauty and the Bitch are taking on part three of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" series. Will they be more bitchy than before? Will "The Hobbit" movies continue to be unneccarily long? What happened to Smaug? Can we hold our own attention? If anyone can do it, Beauty and the Bitch can! We continue on our path of jokes at the expense of Benedict Cumberswizzle, we mourn Smaug, we salute Martin Freeman (and his Bilbo), and we complain about everything. We also continue to confront the controver...
038: Annihilation
March 13, 2018 17:50 - 1 hour - 52.2 MBBeauty and the Bitch has taken a step into the wild, deep darkness of Jeff van der Meer's Southern Reach Trilogy. This interesting, and twisted trilogy has received the Hollywood treatment with *amazing* director Alex Garland (Ex Machina), who co-wrote and directed Annihilation. Naturally, we have feelings about how the adaptation has shaped up (and changed in a number of drastic ways) and what we think that might mean. Revel in our feelings, effortlessly thrown shade and shared love f...
037: A Wrinkle in Time
March 04, 2018 18:46 - 1 hour - 47.3 MBListen, what follows is the truth. MADELINE L'ENGLE IS A MAGICAL UNICORN GENIUS AHEAD OF HER TIME, INSPIRING YOUNG PEOPLE TO DREAM BIG, AND OH YEAH REMEMBER WE ARE INFINITESIMAL IN THE UNIVERSE SO EMBRACE BIG IDEAS. Glad we got that out of the way. So. On today's episode we are covering "A Wrinkle in Time," which is getting the Reese Witherspoon treatment on the forthcoming adaptation. Witherspoon has made strides in Hollywood to became the go-to gal for book to screen adaptations. She h...

035: The Walking Dead
February 19, 2018 23:58 - 1 hour - 66 MBHey BB's: #Spoilers for previous seasons; #NoSpoilers for current season! Are you a fan of AMC's "The Walking Dead?" Do you devour the Robert Kirkman graphic novels? Are you hungry for zombie dramas? Does your brain....er, crave entertainment? Then you're in the right place! At Beauty and the Bitch, we LOVE "The Walking Dead". Like. We love it. Mic even likes Carl (who, admittedly, has even grown on me!). However, as a fan of "The Walking Dead", you have to endure a lot of shit. And cl...
034: Black Panther
February 13, 2018 01:11 - 1 hour - 61.1 MBHey BB's: Today we are joined by our super smart film buff friend- Dallas! Dallas takes us through the intricate weavings of film maker Ryan Coogler's career (and why he SO deserves the props he's getting!), along with some jokes, Michael B. Jordan gossips, miscellaneous musings and general rantings. We explore why it's so powerful to (finally) have a super hero of color in the main role, and how gorgeous everyone in this film is. Dare we say, it sounds perfect? WE DARE. So much to look...
033: The Hobbit, pt. 2
February 07, 2018 01:29 - 55 minutes - 41.7 MBHey BB's: As Promised, here is part 2 in the unnecessary 3-part episode series covering "The Hobbit" (looking at you Peter Jackson). We dive in to the action packed, song-ful, fictional-love fueled, Smaug-tastic episode of our adventure. We finally get to see Benedict Cumberswizzle in all his glory as Smaug, and see Martin Freeman come more into Bilbo than ever before. We also face the controversial love story of Tauriel and Fili: where do you stand on this invented melo-drama (we're act...
032: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Pt. 2
January 30, 2018 03:25 - 1 hour - 48 MBBB's: Times run out, the Order has suffered losses, and the Dark Lord has ceased to be vanquished. IF ONLY WE HAD TWO MORE BOOKS TO WRAP UP THIS STORY....oh....wait. NVM! JKJKJK! (Rowling that is). But, seriously, we're here to bring you Part 2 of our Order of the Phoenix talk, and: WE COMING FOR YOU CHO CHANG. (among other casualties) Book 5 brings us ever closer to the conclusion of our re-read/re-watch/re-visit/existential Wizarding questions: so join us! We've got gabs, goofs, and g-...
031: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Pt. 1
January 23, 2018 02:53 - 1 hour - 48.6 MBBB's: What if we created a secret organization of Wizards, bent on squashing the Dark Lord, and hanging out for quick quips and battles of wits? OH, WELL I GUESS THAT WOULD BE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT CUZ IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE. OKAY, J.K. ROWLING. OKAY. But, seriously, we're here to cover the finer nuances of this oft proclaimed "least favorite" read in the Harry Potter verse: The Order of the Phoenix. Book 5 brings us ever closer to the conclusion of our re-read/re-watch/re-visit/exi...
030: The Hobbit Pt. 1
January 15, 2018 13:30 - 54 minutes - 41.2 MBBB's: Bear with us on this UNNECCESARY THREE PART ENDEAVOR TO COVER THE HOBBIT. That's right, we're looking at you Peter Jackson. After his magicial wonderland that was The Lord of the Rings, ole Pete decided that he wanted to take the 95,456 words of The Hobbit and pair them with a little bit of nonsense, made up things/characters, and bits from The Lost Tales + The Silmarillion - and turn it into a trilogy! We can not tell you why. What we can tell you, is that we have SO MANY FEELINGS ...
029: The Magicians Returns!
January 08, 2018 18:39 - 1 hour - 79.1 MBHi BB's! Today we are revisiting our very first topic ever covered on the podcast: The Magicians!

026: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
December 19, 2017 03:25 - 2 hours - 121 MBHi BB'S! PSA: Apparently people didn't LOVE Jumanji the first time around (color me SHOCKED). Well, TBH, we might take some convincing with this reboot.

Who make the cut in M, F, K? Does Mic even understand what space REALLY is? We are joined by Aaron Messick, self proclaimed Star Wars addict, who educates us on the facets of the franchise that one can be involved in (movies, tv, books, gaming AND BEYOND).

024: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
November 20, 2017 15:00 - 2 hours - 71.9 MBDon't front: you've been waiting for the Goblet of Fire episode, right?
