    In this episode, Laura and Crystal chat about a clip from the movie Knocked Up where Leslie Mann confronts Paul Rudd about his dishonesty around how he's been using his time. We cover invisible labor, insidious inequity, subtle betrayals and so much more.

    In this episode, we discuss a viral thread where a woman describes a metaphor for her entire relationship: a situation where she asked for more and was expected to be satisfied with less. We talk: self-sacrifice, relationship dynamics, small moments that really reflect big issues.

    2025/08/13

    In this episode, Crystal and Laura talk about a viral video that makes light of the dynamic of "nagging". Join us as we consider not just what happens when you "ask a man to do the dishes", but what the jokes of the #couplescomedy genre actually teach us to laugh off.

    2025/08/06

    In this episode, Laura and Crystal discuss the 2019 Netflix film, ‘Marriage Story,’ which starred Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. A popular clip is circulating on social media again and made us wonder: with all the passing of responsibility and finger-pointing and tantruming—was it all just cis-het propaganda??

    • Pre-Order Laura’s Book! – No More Mediocre
    • Laura’s Substack Article from Last Episode
    • Scarlett Longstreet's Instagram Post: “Five Things I Wish I Knew Before Getting Divorced”

    would you leave someone on read for being too available?
    2025/07/30

    This week, we’re digging into a few clips from @leftonread_show that had us feeling things! We talk about what it means to be “cool" and whether or not the host's advice to play hard to get is ACTUALLY good advice. A lighthearted one today. <3


    Let’s get into it.

    can an unfinished painting cause you to question everything?
    2025/07/23

    This is a weird one. Crystal has been slammed and Laura couldn't get a painting out of her head, so she decided to write(and read) about it. In this episode, Laura reads something she wrote about an unfinished painting of a mother.


    PLEASE PARDON LAURA'S FRENCH. :)


    Check out the painting here!

    Madame de Pastoret and Her Son, 1791–92

    Artist: Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748–1825)


    Here's her husband.


    Here's her son.

    is it fair to feel upset if i ask for help and your response isn't eager?
    2025/07/16

    In this episode, we talk about how vulnerable it can feel to name a need, the weight of perceived pushback, and how quickly it can spiral. We dig into what we call the nag paradox—that toxic loop of asking, resisting, escalating, and shutting down—and how it traps so many of us in a cycle of sacrifice, resentment, and disconnection.
