Episode 37 - Relatable Meets Behind the Bucket

Tuesday Jan 25, 2022
*CALLING ALL STAR WARS NERDS*
We are finally in our new Star Wars era. The Book of Boba Fett is halfway through its season, the Rogue One spin off show Andor is up to premiere next, and of course, Obi Wan is also set to premiere later this year. We're ready and nowhere near ready at the same time, but to set the mood, we figured - why not invited some fellow Star Wars nerds onto the show?!
The creators of "Behind the Bucket : A Midwest Garrison Story" are here to chat with us about their new documentary about the 501st Midwest Legion and their incredible acts of service to the Star Wars community and many others. We cover the behind the scenes of the movie, what the 501st is all about and our favorite parts of the Star Wars galaxy.
Of course we have some opening remarks, in which we discuss our perfect, future Utopia we plan on starting. Listen up if you want in.

Happy 2022! It seems to be shaping up as quite the year already, as the ReLadies review what exciting events we have taking place - including a shit ton of Star Wars content and DC's official takeover of the universe as we know it. Oh, and did we mention omicron is also pretty viral right now? Please wear a damn mask.
After editing this episode, the ReLadies created a new drinking game to go along with it, because that's what we do best.
Every time you hear "Andrew Garfield" being said, please take a shot of your beverage of choice (preferably whiskey). At the end of the episode, please try your very best to recap what the last ten minutes of the episode was about. Winner gets a shoutout. Let the games begin.

Happy Hoe-lidays from your ReLadies!!
Ilsa and Kyra do their best to present a spoiler-free review of Spider-Man No Way Home and the Series Finale of Hawkeye, and yet they fail miserably.
But if you're anything like us, then you Done Been Knowing anyways.
In this episode we also discuss the importance of dating outside of your height, the unimportance of knowing the Presidents of the United States, and the gem of a human known as Florence Pugh.

Episode 33 - Eternally Yours

Wednesday Nov 10, 2021
The time has finally come. The moment is finally here. Our entire lives had lead up to this -
OUR ETERNALS EPISODE. Eternals finally debuted in the United States this past weekend and despite the spoilers we've endured leading up to the movie (thanks Variety), and the negative critic reviews (you guys need to stop being so rude) - we absolutely adored this film and are already counting down the days until the next installment.
Please do not listen to this episode if you haven't seen the movie. There are many spoilers. We ain't sorry about it.
Amongst the Eternals deep dive, we do jump into a lot out other nerdy rumors hitting the town right now. Another Star Wars film delayed? We will get to see a beloved Knights of the Old Republic movie after all (fingers crossed) ? A Black Widow crossover with Stranger Things? Daylight savings time did happen this past Saturday and it looks like it stirred up a lot! Maybe we are all in our own version of the multiverse now....

Episode 32 - A WHORE-R STORY

Thursday Oct 28, 2021
Ah, we've arrived at yet the end of another month (one of our favorites sadly). RIP to the best season, best holiday, and quite honestly an amazing month for cinema and television. We were quite blessed to witness Dune finally, as well as countless other movies.
Have you noticed how psychic your ReLadies are? We've decided to add another segment completely dedicated to rumors we may have started, that are all starting to come true. We never knew manifestation would produce the Thunderbolts team in the MCU...but alas, here we are. Let's see if this method works for the new Spidey movie in December *fingers crossed*
A small Dune recap is very much in order for this episode. We fangirl about our favorite scenes, favorite characters and perhaps how we now see the Baron in our nightmares every single night. Next week we will be filming our season finale! Thanks for tuning in!

Episode 31 - Dune, DC and Daddies
Thursday Oct 21, 2021
Thursday Oct 21, 2021
Y'all I think we just had the most epic weekend of our lives - DC Fandome happened all while we were having our FIRST EVER live show and appearance at Wizard World comic con! We had an absolute at the con and recap everything that went down, along with some of our favorite cosplayers we got to meet. Carnage was one of them (perfect timing, considering we haven't been able to shut up about the latest Venom movie)!
The time has finally arrived. Dune is out tonight in theaters all across America and we can't believe we're finally going to see the movie we've been waiting for our entire lives. Go see Dune.
The news just kept coming in hot this week, as we got word of a certain One Direction member appearing in Eternals. Big spoiler alert. Can you guess who it is? Hint: He adores you.
We dive right into a serious recap of everything that went down at the DC Fandome. The new Batman trailer, Aquaman, The Flash and Black Adam absolutely blew our minds. Dare we say 2022 is the year of DC comics...? I guess we'll have to die another die to find out.

Episode 30 - A Dirty Thirty Affair

Monday Oct 11, 2021
Welcome to our dirty thirty episode.
We can't believe either one of us have made is this far. We've got one hell of an episode for you guys this week and considering that this episode premieres while mercury is still in retrograde, we know we could all use a little laugh right about now. Thankfully, Venom came out this past week. Its like Marvel knew us spooky b*tches would be in despair this week!
We also discuss the season of finale of What If, the new prequel Game Of Thrones series and our favorite character from Wanda Vision getting her own spin off series!
We can't WAIT to see you guys at Wizard World this Friday in Chicago! We will be hosting a small live version of our show on the exhibitor stage at 4 pm! Come say hello :)

Episode 29 - Relatable Meets the Dune Cast
Tuesday Oct 05, 2021
Tuesday Oct 05, 2021
After being plagued by illness most of the month of September, we are back and this week's episode has been in the works since July. We are *SUPER EXCITED* to have Rod Johnson, cohost of Dune Cast, hanging out with us for this week's episode. DuneCast is our favorite Dune podcast out there and this episode was a dream come true.
Y'all know we are Dune fanatics and worship the spice. We try our best to annotate Dune in our own words but know that shit can make it even more difficult to understand - Rod on the other hand, is like an expert of Arrakis. We dove into some of our favorite characters, scenes and we take it back to the night we got to preview the first 20 minutes of Dune back in July!
Dune drops October 22nd, here in the states! Pay the extra few bucks and see it in IMAX if you can. And get ready for your life to be changed forever.

Episode 28 - Alive and Unwell
Monday Sep 13, 2021
Monday Sep 13, 2021
Please excuse us for our absence last week - we were busy fighting zombies alongside whatever is left of the Avengers. Don't believe us? Thats fine. Disney Plus doesn't lie. Check out the latest episode of What If for proof.
...okay well maybe we were just fighting covid. And maybe the cough medicine made us have some wild dreams, but we swear the zombie part is real!! Why the hell would we want to exist in a world where America's favorite ass is deflated and part zombie? Sounds like our own personal hell.
The MCU made up for all of that though by giving us what we've been asking for, for years - the Hawkeye trailer!! Purple is the color of royalty and Kate Bishop is our queen.
