In this episode, Liz and Heather welcome back some other nerdy bitches for a boozylicious girl talk day! We have Cassie, Kitty, and Sophie in the studio with us to drink and talk what it is like to be a girl geek! This episode's drinks are sort of Star Wars themed.

Heather's drink: Tatooine Sunset

  • V8 Splash
  • Cointreau
  • 2 maraschino cherries

Liz's drink: Smuggler's Delight

  • Dr Pepper
  • Bacardi Torched Cherry Rum

Cassie's drink: The Dark Side

  • Orange juice or V8 Tropical
  • Vanilla vodka
  • Triple Sec
  • Black vodka

FYI - Don't forget to turn the boot when guzzling beer a la Beerfest. Otherwise, you will get it in the face, like a bad porno.

Heather shares an article on ridiculous lies pop culture tells to women (from the Daily Dot):

  1. A makeover will change your life. We disagree, mostly. Or perhaps we agree? For that one day, until we have to recreate the look the next day. Go get a professional bra fitting. You won't regret it once you actually wear a bra that fits.
  2. Sex is very good every time and all the time. Meh. That's way overstating things. We don't want to feel guilty if it isn't great all the time.
  3. Even in a post-apocalyptic world, women's hygiene is always on point. Yeah, right. Our hygiene isn't on point in this PODCAST, let alone living in a tree.
  4. Money is not necessary to live a glamorous life. We don't think you can necessarily have a social life on a minimum wage job. A glamorous life is also super subjective.
  5. A man is not interesting unless he is brooding, dark, and tortured. Way too much work to deal with a high maintenance whiny bitch like that.

Be sure to check out our next book club selection, Lamb by Christopher Moore.

A big thanks to Cassie, Kitty, and Sophie for being on the show again!

In this episode, Liz and Heather invite Cassie, Kitty, and Heather back into the studio to discuss Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This episode will be full of all kinds of spoilers and squees! It has been a full year of Nerdy Bitches podcasting leading up to this movie's release, so it is finally time for us to talk about it, having actually seen it!

Again, this episode is FULL OF SPOILERS!!

so, proceed at your own risk if you haven't yet seen the movie.

We talk about how much we all loved this movie, our favorite parts, parts we may not have liked as much (ha!), and what we would like to see from the next movie(s). Most of the panel have seen the movie 2-3 times with more plans to keep seeing it. We all noticed that the more we watched, the more we noticed. So, we all clearly loved the movie. Even Heather, our non-Star Wars girl, is becoming a bigger and bigger fan!

Favorite Characters

  • Rey. Duh. She is pure awesome! She is actually a strong female lead who is actually strong throughout. She doesn't NEED the man to rescue her.
  • Chewy. We really loved how funny he was throughout this movie!
  • Finn. We are hoping to see more of him both past and future. Does he have some Force sensitivity? Is he related to someone we have seen before?
  • Poe - We want to know more. He wasn't as strong of a player in this movie as we thought he would.
  • Maz Kanata. We would like to see more of her. Another strong female character.
  • General Leia.
  • Kylo Ren. He's kind of a whiny bitch, a total Skywalker, but we kind of love the tantrum. That is the difference between him and Darth Vader. Vader never lost control. Ren's lack of control is what makes him really scary.

Han Solo - SO MANY TEARS!! Heather called it in our last episode, where Han Solo needs to die to be able to give the new generation something to hold on to. It was both the best and worst way for him to die. Does he, perhaps, have the Force? He is incredibly lucky. Who knows?

Did Kylo Ren actually save Rey? Did he take away her memory? Are they siblings? Cousins? WE DON'T KNOW! But, we are so ready to find out!

 

Least Favorite

  • General Hux. (Bill Weasley!)

Note: David Bowie did NOT fight at the battle of the Alamo. Also, several days after this recording, David Bowie passed away at age 69 from cancer. We did discuss his Labyrinth cod piece, but in our defense, he was alive at the time. Rest in Peace, King Jareth. Please enjoy.
