Happy Cornucopia Day to yous! In honor of this troubled holiday falling on a Thursday we are releasing a special (just us) episode on a Tuesday. This week we are really running the gamut, serving our deranged mindgrapes on a platter for you: JoJo Siwa’s coming into her sexuality on Dancing with the Stars, Natalie Wood’s sister Lana all but confirming Anne’s belief that Kirk Douglas raped a young Natalie, and a deep dive on one of our go-to warm-blanket films, Clueless. We breakdown director Amy Heckerling’s 1995 comedy classic: from Amy’s IRL dalliances, the tragic loss of Brittany Murphy, Twink Caplan making bank from her AP credit (we allege!), and Julie Brown repping for the queers. Plus, we top this totally chaotic episode off with a little clip from our sitdown with The Facts of Life star Mindy Cohn talking about that infamous first season and all the “lost girls” that were fired before they had a chance at season 2! We hope you enjoy!
