8 - 'Love is Blind' Mess, New Holiday Movies, Women Hating Women, and Standing Up for Southpaws

Cross Gen Sisters

This episode kicks off on a paw-sitively adorable note with Chantal celebrating her beloved dog’s third birthday. The love (and delulu) is overflowing.
Then it's time to talk democracy for a blip as the sisters discuss early voting and Chantal gives a sermon for the ages on doing one's civic duty. [1:05]

Then, in Today I Learned, Keisha shares something surprising she discovered about right-handed bias in product design and Chantal honors producer and sneakerhead DJ Clark Kent — whose legacy includes some pricey kicks. [13:27]

Pop & Gen: Quick Hits starts with the sisters paying respects to One Direction’s Liam Payne. Then the tone shifts as they dig into the complete blow-up of the back half of Love is Blind season 7, celebrate the renewal of Nobody Wants This for a second season, review Crocs for pups, and consider whether scheming Aunt Becky aka Lori Loughlin deserves a career comeback. [23:38]

In Pop & Gen: Deep Dives, it’s all about ageism in Hollywood — inspired by the rumored actions of a Hallmark exec who seems to think women over 40 are too old to be movie stars. Then, is there trouble between Harry and Meghan? [44:37]

In On Our Screens, The Jennifer Hudson Show’s Spirit Tunnels are spreading joy on Instagram, and the sisters are obsessed. They also get into the latest TV like Michael Ealy playing a villain a little too well on Power Book II: Ghost, and they get hyped for new holiday rom-coms starring Christina Milian and Lindsay Lohan. [54:14]

Wrapping up in Through Our Earbuds, the sisters share their recent music faves, including a revisit of Cowboy Carter and the pop fellas climbing the charts [1:14:23]
