Their sentencing trial is set for July 11th & the maximum sentence they can get is 20 years each. Crazy. What happened to the wholesome lil guy who sang with the Biebs?

Is it even worth it though if you have to go through all that effort just to get him to like you? We don’t entirely believe the rumours about the drama, but you can’t deny some stuff is weird. Like Justin saying on The Ellen Show that in hindsight he believes it was an arranged marriage. We break down the drama in this episode & talk about why forcing your partnerships is bad! :D2025-04-0516 minRhinestone CowboyEP85: Melodna InterviewWe had such a great conversation with Regina musical talent Melodna.

Emilia Pérez has been cleaning up nearly every award category in not just the recent Oscars, but the Academy Awards, Cannes, and other festivals. Despite its recognition with the different committees, though, it’s received tons of backlash since it’s become available to audiences. Some criticisms include racist stereotypes of Mexican culture, tokenism when it comes to trans people, and no one from the movie utilizing their platform to actually speak about trans-rights/issues2025-03-1116 minRhinestone CowboyEP82: Why Is It Illegal To Communicate With Dolphins??We just found out that in the U.S., it is illegal to communicate with dolphins?! Aside from not wanting to harass or harm the wildlife, there are theories that they have information about alien life in the ocean??

Specifically in the States. Are you guys okay?? We know most of our listeners live there (thx analytics). We live in Canada, but right now there is tons of concern from countries outside of the US about what's going on...most notably from Germany...which is not a good sign.

Also, what is up with dudes lying about being feminists to gain validation from women/attention? Wouldn't it make more sense to actually be nice and respectful towards women if you want that? Lots of questions, as we're sure you all have too. We provide some updates to the legal case and the alleged muti-billion dollar SLANDER plot conspired against Blake Lively by Mr. Justin Bald-guy himself.

What is going on. Would you meet an alien? We would?? Maybe?? Apparently they’re coming out of the ocean?2025-01-0522 minRhinestone CowboyEP75: We Found Luigi Mangione’s SpotifyIf you haven’t heard of Luigi Mangione…where have you been? The anti-hero of America’s social media accounts, including his Spotify, offer an interesting view into his mindset prior to the shooting. Whether you agree with his vigilante Justice or not, we can all agree that healthcare in the US needs a rehaul. And that Luigi’s got great music taste.

Having immigrated from Nigeria, Zochi talks about how her immigrating prompted her to re-find her identity as a queer woman outside of the restrictive anti-LGBTQ laws in her home country. Zochi has been featured in many articles, played on international radio stations, and during all of this has remained faithful as she found her footing in Canada. We’re so happy she came in!! Stay tuned for another podcast episode where we talk about Wicked with her 🩷💚2024-12-2232 minRhinestone CowboyEP72: Anti-Intellectualism: Is It Dumb?Anti-Intellectualism actually isn’t as ground-breaking as you think it is- in fact, it kind of just makes you easier to manipulate BY establishment you think you’re protesting. In this episode we ever a bit from pop culture and discuss the movement of anti-intellectualism, which is the movement away from education. Us, as students, don’t believe education should be pushed as hard as it is for some people/things, but we also think it is really needed. We talk about how the movement started, people arguments for and against it, and our own thoughts on it (as always...2024-12-1618 minRhinestone CowboyEP71: Horror Movies with MarzWe hung out for a bit after the interview with Marz and talked about a new sub-genre of horror that’s begun to come out within the past few years, which is feminist horror movies.

It has a lot of themes surrounding the psychological effects of the beauty industry and the idolization of youth, and that’s about all we can say in the description without giving the whole plot away lol. If you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it- it’s free with a 7-day free trial on Mubi- and then com...2024-11-2413 minRhinestone CowboyEP68: “Woman of the Hour”, directed by Anna Kendrick*Spoiler Warning*This trend of feminist horror movies is something we’re living for, honestly.

We can’t get over how driven, cool, and educated this girl is- and she’s only 19?! Dude, we are so impressed. Anna Hunter is a self-described “Kate Bush enthusiast” hailing from Winnipeg, which is apparently flatter than Saskatchewan. Her music can be described as a mix of punk, post-punk, and Kate Bush influences. We wish we had gotten the chance to see her perform but unfortunately we were both working, so hopefully Anna will make her way back...2024-11-1128 minRhinestone CowboyEP66: Why Feminism Needs MenLittle bit different from our usual episodes, but we like to switch it up sometimes! And before we are radio or podcast hosts, we are women! Without other feminists who came before us, we wouldn’t have a lot of the same choices and freedoms we have today. Lots of men tend to steer away from feminism because they tend to believe that feminism = “we hate men”. The truth is, feminism needs men’s support to work because of the unequal power structures in lots of patriarchal societies. In this episode we talk about hegemonic masculinity and how it negative...2024-10-2915 minRhinestone CowboyEP65: Ashton Kutcher’s Friendship With P DiddyWe just have to keep talking about all the P Diddy stuff honestly because?!?! I mean, we kind of expected it, but did anyone think it was THIS bad? Ashton Kutcher is currently getting a divorce with Mila Kunis (initiated by her possibility?) and he was best friends with Diddy.

We’ll also definitely be making some more episodes on this whole thing 👀2024-10-1314 minRhinestone CowboyEP64: Jessica Gares InterviewAt the end of September, we interviewed Jessica Gares, a local filmmaker who just got done filming her most recent one, "Maneater", earlier in the month :) We talk about the film, filmmaking in general, and some other cool stuff.

Diddy, stick around while we look at em 2024-09-3010 minRhinestone CowboyEP62: Wade Wilson, aka the New Ted BundyConvicted killer Wade Wilson has become a recognizable figure for his horrendous murders and good looks?? People are comparing him to the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy, because of the way he persuades women with his appearance. Wilson has been convicted of two cases of murder and has been sentenced to death. However, he has a dedicated fan base who are actively trying to reduce his sentence. In today’s episode, we take a look at Wilson’s past, the murders he has committed, and analyze his new online fan base. Disclaimer: This episode spea...2024-09-2519 minRhinestone CowboyEP61: The Rise of a Midwest Princess, Chappell RoanChappell Roan is one of the newest artists in pop music but she has already made a significant impact. How crazy is it that a queer artist, writing about the queer experience, has been consistently topping the charts since early 2024? This would not have been the case even just a couple decades ago. We love her music, her persona as an artist, and the fact that she’s not afraid to speak her mind on issues (considering most artists are almost forced to remain civil even when being disrespected). 2024-09-1614 minRhinestone CowboyEP60: Karma’s a Bitch…Only if It’s Jojo SiwaDoes this even need a description? If you haven’t seen Jojo Siwa on your timeline, where have you been for the past year? Everything we know about her is stuff we’ve found out unwillingly. Taking a closer look though, it’s (tbh) kind of sad. Jojo Siwa is a child star who has never known what it means to be a normal kid. Could this contribute to the cringe? Potentially (likely, yes). We talk about the effects of fame on children, Jojo Siwa’s sympathies for groomers, and of course, Abby Lee Miller...2024-09-0622 minRhinestone CowboyEP59: Bad Carlotta InterviewLast week we interviewed DJ Bad Carlotta!!

Directed by Justin Baldini, he plays the husband of the main character, “Lily Blossom Bloom” (played by Blake Lively). Despite the book being known to have helped tons of d*mestic v*olence survivors globally, there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding the movie itself, its marketing, and the actual cast and crew.
