  • LUNCH BREAK!
    Jul 23 2025

    "Crazy how the very first sin was a woman who ate."

    God forbid we get hungry... Grab yourself an heirloom tomato and piece of cheese because this week it's all about lunch!

    Come along with your two favorite students of life for a little recap of how they've been feeding themselves physically, philosophically, and media-ically (IDKIDGAF) for the first half of the year. From analyzing their deepest, realest fears to shamelessly ogling over the men of the Survivor canon, Jerwin and Elizabeth take a little break from the syllabus to just hang out for one second (if you'd just let them!)

    Topics discussed: the lingering aura of one Whitney Rose over the city of Milwaukee, the iron grip of the Call Me By Your Name (2017) soundtrack, and (as always) the sense memory of TOMS.

  • Deep Dive 002: Media Literacy, Taboo's, and The White Lotus
    Jun 25 2025

    Jerwin and Elizabeth are back with another Deep Dive!

    This week, they're trying to get to the bottom of why nobody critiquing media wants to have fun anymore and asking questions like:

    Why do they seem to have closed the schools?

    Why is Twitter (né X) discourse is so annoying?

    Why is Barry Keoghan Like That?

    Spoiler alert: it's because of that damn phone.

    Also listen to hear our discussions on media literacy, Saltburn, and the latest cultural litmus test, season 3 of The White Lotus!

  • DEEP DIVE: The History of Camo, American Soft Power, and Chappell Roan Merch
    May 28 2025

    Tell me I'm your national anthem

    (Booyah, baby, bow, down, making me so wow now)

    Welcome to our first Deep Dive, the monthly segment where we plunge headfirst into the depths of culture.

    This month we tracked the history of camo print to try to get to the bottom of why it seems like suddenly everyone from your bi-sexual passing barista to that Shein-clad influencer is wearing it.

    Also on the docket: Why is every gay guy dressed like a straight guy? The 2024 election? Is hope a dangerous thing for women like us to have?

  • DOUBLE FEATURE: Lady Bird x Didi
    May 14 2025

    Oh shit- is this play about us?

    Hiiiii! Welcome to the first Rapture Double Feature, our monthly installment where we indulge in our favorite activity, spending a Sunday on the couch for four hours and connecting the dots between our favorite movies.

    This month we watched two coming-of-age films that encapsulated our upbringings: Lady Bird and Didi.

    Listen along as we reflect on the ignorant bliss, quiet regrets, and the utter humiliation of being a teenager.

    You know the classic joke, what happens when an Irish-Catholic private-schooled girl and an Asian kid with a bowl cut walk into a bar? You’ll have to listen to find out.
