    Today on Deep Thoughts About Stupid Shit, Tracie and Emily welcome Seth Nesin to talk about the ethics of storytelling in the TV show Lost–and why you may be entitled to pop culture compensation for its completely unsatisfactory ending.

    Seth explains why revisiting this early 2000s sci-fi / mystery / drama hybrid television series doesn’t inspire nostalgia, because saying it was a “good show with a bad ending” feels no different than calling Sawyer’s romance con “a good relationship with a bad ending.” Tracie suggests that the psychology of the particular viewer may affect just how frustrated they feel by unsatisfying storytelling.

    The Guy sisters and Seth also talk about what artists owe to their audience, especially when the storytelling seems to promise something that the artist simply can’t deliver.

    It’s NOT PENNY’S PODCAST! You should listen anyway.

  • Look Who’s Talking: Deep Thoughts About Talking Babies, Compulsory Heteronormativity, and Why Pregnant Women Are Public Property

    Look Who’s Talking: Deep Thoughts About Talking Babies, Compulsory Heteronormativity, and Why Pregnant Women Are Public Property
    2026/09/29
    Send us a message! Include how to reach you if you want a response. “Why don't you try squeezing something the size of a watermelon out of an opening the size of a lemon and see how hot YOU look?”On this week’s episode of Deep Thoughts About Stupid Shit, Emily revisits the only 1980s romcom that starts with talking sperm, Look Who’s Talking. This 1989 film, written and directed by Amy Heckerling, reflects many of the frustrating realities women face during pregnancy and early motherhood, including the ways pregnant women are treated like public property and how mothers are shamed no matter what they do. The comedy lets us laugh along with this cultural commentary, but it also perpetuates some regressive and anti-feminist views. The film wants us to believe Kirstie Alley’s Mollie and baby Mikey (voiced by Bruce Willis) need John Travolta’s James, despite the man’s questionable parenting choices and the inappropriate sexual comments he consistently makes to the baby. Like many 80s and 90s movies, Look Who’s Talking wants us to accept that women would be happier if they just relaxed.But even if this film doesn’t quite live up Emily’s Gen X nostalgia, the baby/ies is/are super cute, Bruce Willis’s voiceover acting is pretty funny, and there is always some feminism to be found in the 5% of films written and directed by women.We won’t tell you how to breathe or what to do with your ears.

  • UHF with Justin Kramm: Deep Thoughts About Authenticity, High Production Value, and Comedy for Short Attention Spans

    UHF with Justin Kramm: Deep Thoughts About Authenticity, High Production Value, and Comedy for Short Attention Spans
    2026/09/22

    Send us a message! Include how to reach you if you want a response.

    “Hello, this is Sy Greenblum, president of Spatula City. I like the spatulas so much, I bought the company.”

    This week on Deep Thoughts About Stupid Shit, Tracie and Emily welcome Justin Kramm, founder of Shitshow Creative, to talk about the cult classic comedy UHF. This 1989 film, written and starring Weird Al Yankovic, was a box-office failure, but a major pop culture success. Justin shares with the Guy sisters how the off-the-wall comedy encouraged him to embrace his weirdness and take creative risks.

    But UHF also serves as a time capsule for a specific type of Gen X nostalgia–how cable access television used to be the only way we encountered truly authentic weirdos in media. The inherent comedy of parodying this lost form of media offers a retrospective cultural commentary on the value of truly bizarre art. Justin, Emily, and Tracie also enjoy the way Weird Al turns many media expectations on their head, from the fact that the women in the film aren’t humorless scolds who hate fun to the way his storytelling lets many characters–and not just the hero–enjoy the spotlight.

    Throw on some headphones, imagine you’re Indiana Jones, and take a listen!

  • Monsters, Inc: Deep Thoughts About Post-9/11 Mental Health, Furry Animation, and Tidy Storytelling

    Monsters, Inc: Deep Thoughts About Post-9/11 Mental Health, Furry Animation, and Tidy Storytelling
    2026/09/15

    Now put that thing back where it came from or so help me…

    Tracie revisits the classic Pixar animation Monsters, Inc in today’s episode of Deep Thoughts About Stupid Shit. This family film, which was released just after 9/11, offers the deeply reassuring message that laughter is much stronger than fear, and Tracie argues that our country’s collective mental health needed that pop culture lesson in late 2001.

    But in addition to the lovely psychology, this classic movie also gave us gorgeous and groundbreaking digital animation, plenty of comedy, a heartwarming relationship between Sulley and Boo, and masterful storytelling. The artists and writers behind this animation clearly took their craft seriously–check out the punny names of the DVDs Boo de-alphabetizes that are only onscreen for a second–while not taking themselves too seriously.

    That said, the gender dynamics don’t quite hold up to nostalgia. Not only are there a surprising dearth of women and girls in the film, but consider how different the story would be if Boo had been a boy-child. Still, there’s much to love in this delightful comedy.

    Throw on your headphones and take a listen. Every time you laugh, you help power Monstropolis!

  • Sex and the City: Deep Thoughts About Feminism, Female Friendship, and Funky Spunk

    Sex and the City: Deep Thoughts About Feminism, Female Friendship, and Funky Spunk
    2026/09/08

    Send us a message! Include how to reach you if you want a response.

    “I love you, but I love me more.”

    This week on Deep Thoughts About Stupid Shit, Emily shares her complicated love of the television show Sex and the City. When the HBO original comedy first aired in 1998, it was a breath of fresh feminism in pop culture. The show featured a quartet of fabulous single women in New York who had created a found family through their deep and abiding friendship with each other.

    Although Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw and Kristin Davis’s Charlotte York both dreamed of romance, SatC wasn’t exactly a romcom—at least, not at first. It offered audiences a peek into the sexy, infuriating, and overwhelming world of New York dating, along with trenchant cultural commentary on the difficulty of meeting Mr. Right, even if there was no shortage of Mr. Right Nows.

    But some pretty regressive politics lurked behind the progressive feminism. Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones was consistently slut-shamed by the show, even as she took control of her own sexuality. Early episodes included some very regrettable racial politics and bisexual erasure. And the fact that all four women end the series paired up with a man seems counter to the feminism the first season promised us.

    Emily also shares why And Just Like That is dead to her (it has nothing to do with Mr. Big!), and the line that makes her tear up every single time.

    I couldn’t help but wonder…why not start listening to this episode right this minute?

  • My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Deep Thoughts About Culture, Comedy, and How Women Use Their Agency When the Man Is Head of the Household

    My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Deep Thoughts About Culture, Comedy, and How Women Use Their Agency When the Man Is Head of the Household

    Don't let your past dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you will become.

    In this episode of Deep Thoughts About Stupid Shit, Tracie revisits the surprise hit of 2002: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. This comedy broke many of the tropes that can make romcoms hard to watch, from the Hollywood gorgeous leading lady who is clumsy to show she's just a normal woman to the heroine enjoying a glow-up in response to her new romance. Writer, director, and star Nia Vardalos created a film that allows every woman to use their agency, even in sexist situations, for a sunny comedy that refrains from making anyone a villain.

    But in addition to a romantic comedy, My Big Fat Greek Wedding is also a meditation on cultural differences. The movie offers a hilarious and compassionate portrayal of feeling out-of-place as the American child of immigrants. Although Vardalos tells the very specific story of a Greek family, the details resonated with audiences from myriad other cultures. Counterintuitively, the specificity of the storytelling made the film feel universal, so that audiences felt seen--even if they had never once eaten moussaka.

    The root of the word "headphones" is Greek. So throw those bad boys on and listen in!

  • Star Wars IV: A New Hope: Deep Thoughts About Storm Troopers, Strong Women, and Unfinished Storytelling

    Star Wars IV: A New Hope: Deep Thoughts About Storm Troopers, Strong Women, and Unfinished Storytelling
    2026/08/25
    Send us a message! Include how to reach you if you want a response. “Somebody has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, flyboy!”On this week's episode of Deep Thoughts About Stupid Shit, Emily tackles the foundational pop culture text of every Gen X childhood: the 1977 film Star Wars IV: A New Hope. By following the storytelling rubric offered by Joseph Campbell's monomyth (a.k.a., The Hero's Journey), George Lucas created a film that changed the industry. (If only he knew when to leave well enough alone.)Emily reminds Tracie of how the depiction of Princess Leia as a badass inspired their mother, who knew that storytelling where a woman grabs the blaster and saves herself was revolutionary. But Leia is the only woman in the galaxy far far away, which meant the sisters also learned that there was only one way to be a heroine, and that she must be flawless.The sisters also discuss how the film drew inspiration from history, including the recently ended Vietnam War. George Lucas intended for the rebels to represent the Viet Cong while the Empire represents America--a message the flew over the heads of the audience who most needed to recognize the critique. But Lucas also undermined his point by hiring an entirely white cast, making it much easier for viewers to identify with the rebels.Finally, Emily admires the way Lucas made the world of Star Wars feel lived in--in part by making space and alien worlds look dingy, dented, and distressed, but also by refusing to slow down the plot to explain everything. Undermining this storytelling choice in later installments (we're looking at you Midichlorians!) is one of Emily's biggest disappointments with the greater Star Wars canon.Stuck behind a big walking carpet?

    Don’t you…forget about me…Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t!

    In this reprise of episode 23, Tracie takes another look at the 1985 John Hughes film The Breakfast Club. This classic Gen X teen movie passes the Bechdel test and explicitly names the prude-or-slut trap of female sexuality. It also treats Claire and Allison like prizes for the boys in the film and assures the audience that we’re not so different from each other–by featuring a cast that is entirely white, cishet, thin, and able-bodied. The romance between John Bender and Claire have the sisters unpacking the difference between being prickly to protect a soft underbelly and just being mean, and our current stage of life has us looking with greater sympathy at (some of) the parents in the film.

    Sounds like your earbuds and my earbuds should get together and listen to this podcast.
