  • Did This 80s Cult Classic Age Well… or Age Horribly?
    Apr 7 2026

    Pop culture chaos meets hilarious commentary as we revisit one of the wildest 80s movies ever made.

    In this episode, Natalie and Angela dive into Just One of the Guys—a nostalgic cult classic that somehow manages to be both deeply problematic and weirdly ahead of its time. From outrageous sexism to questionable plot choices (and acting choices…), the duo breaks down what still works, what absolutely doesn't, and why we can't stop talking about it.

    They unpack the film's "low-key feminist" message, cringe-worthy scenes, and unforgettable characters—including one of the most chaotic younger brothers in movie history. Along the way, expect laughs, shock, and plenty of "did that REALLY just happen?" moments.

    If you love nostalgic media, unfiltered takes, and a little generational perspective, this episode is your perfect throwback escape.

  • Why Is The King of Comedy The Utimate Parasocial Horror Story?
    Mar 3 2026

    Is your brain on books, or is it just running a marathon without your permission? In this unfiltered edition of Put Your Books Down, Angela opens up about her recent adult ADHD diagnosis and how it has completely shifted her perspective on productivity and self-worth. Natalie and Angela also dive into a deep film analysis of the 1982 Martin Scorsese classic The King of Comedy, exploring its eerie themes of celebrity culture, entitlement, and the frightening reality of parasocial obsession. They even offer a crucial PSA: never watch the new Wuthering Heights at noon unless you want to be emotionally inconsolable for the rest of the day.

  • Can a Mormon Musical, Birth Parent Reunion & IKEA Panic Attack Exist in One Episode?
    Feb 24 2026

    What happens when a transit strike cab ride turns into a lifelong friendship… and that friend grows up to write a Mormon musical, reunite with her birth parents, launch a songwriting podcast, and casually sing about having a nervous breakdown in IKEA?

    This week on Put Your Books Down hosted by Natalie Sanderson Jones and Angela Bingham, we sit down with pianist, singer-songwriter, and human beam of light Deidre Struck — and let's just say… we laugh, we cry, we overshare.

    From writing lullabies through Carnegie Hall's Lullaby Project to interviewing musicians on her podcast The Song Inside, to creating a bold Mormon musical called Fun Spot, Deidre shares how art isn't frivolous — it's survival.

    We talk:

    • Finding your voice in your 40s & 50s
    • Growing up in high-control religion
    • Reuniting with birth parents (bring tissues)
    • Why teenagers are actually awesome
    • And yes… the IKEA panic-attack song you didn't know you needed

    If the world feels heavy, this is your 45-minute pop culture meditation. Take a breath. Laugh with us. Then put your books down.

  • Is Sisters the Most Stressful Comedy Ever Made… or Are We Just Old?
    Feb 17 2026

    Natalie Sanderson Jones is fresh off emergency gallbladder surgery, Angela Bingham is emotionally bracing for house-party chaos, and together they ask the real question: why does this comedy feel like a horror movie for adults with anxiety?

    This week on Put Your Books Down, we revisit the 2015 cult comedy Sisters, starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and unpack why nostalgia hits harder when your joints hurt and you care deeply about drywall.

    From Gen-X references and crazy house parties to John Cena playing a drug dealer with a heart of gold, this episode spirals delightfully into:


    • post-surgery depression honesty
    • why destructive parties are NOT relaxing
    • high school reunion trauma
    • and the emotional cost of being "the responsible one"

    It's funny, unfiltered, slightly unwell—and exactly why you should put your books down and laugh with us.
