Let's all get tucked in and oiled up for this week's viewing! Happy Halloween Bimbos! As part of our Halloween series, we dove into A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. This movie is camp and corny, but it funded the rest of the Elm Street Franchise and holds a very special place in queer horror fan's hearts. The subtext is hardly sub, the characters are queer coded, the focus on internal struggles clawing their way out... it's got layers. In addition to the scares, we're looking at the different ways the cast and crew of this movie embraced...

Hey guys, it’s us, Bimbo Book Club- yuh!

After years of bad Ariana Grande impressions, she’s finally getting her time in the BBC spotlight. Unfortunately, it is for Donutgate.

In 2015, Ariana Grande licked a donut (ew) and said she hated America (slay) BUT there were ~undertones~ of body shaming that don’t sit right with us. However, 10 years later, we see it a bit differently. We will assess the blame that can go to Wolfie donuts, the iconic moments throughout, and of course, we will absolutely bust the “laughing gas” myth (bc Arinators… what were yo...

So maybe this is our 51st episode, but we're choosing to celebrate our 50th today (we didn't realize last episode whoops). This week we are diving into a fundamental component of bimbo lore, the first project we ever book clubbed: The Other Two. This comedy not only cracks us up, but- for better or for worse- it makes us feel SEEN. Join us as we navigate this minefield of a show and giggle to our toes at the bimbo representation. Chase dreams divas!

LISTEN. We love theme parks. Disney or not. If it’s been covered by Defunctland, we’ve discussed. So, this week we broke down the queerest media available: Universal Studios Florida’s Epic Universe. Jade did some boots (🏳️‍🌈) on the ground reporting, and Bertrude has watched every piece of content available on the park. From Darkmoore to the Isle of Berk, we’ve diving into the good, the bad, and the worst (Harry Potter’s Ministry of Magic Ride).

Buckle up (only lap bars tho, sorry) and tell us your favorite attraction at Epic Universe

Once Upon a Time two bimbos entered an unfamiliar realm and attempted to make sense of it all….

Bertrude watched the first 5 seasons of Once Upon a Time, Jade did not. But, as a love letter to the 22 episode season of American television, Bertrude is walking us through all the ways the divas in charge of this show tried to keep it fresh.

Yes, Peter Pan is Rumplestilsken’s father. Yes, Captain Hook is hot. Yes, Regina is the back bone of this show.

Tune in and tell us your favorite unhinged moment from...

A hot new bombshell has entered the villa- and its Bertrude in a bye-bye vest, because this week Jade is filling them in on all things from Love Island US Season 8. Titi should be in jail- we know that. Sincere should be shipped off to an island of men- we know that. Zach is gay- duh. Join us as we try to support what the choose to not keep behind closed doors and celebrate one (1) straight couple (spoiler alert: its the one with the boy that looks like Bertrude's 2020 crush)

In 2012, Keke Palmer, Jeremy Jordan, Dolly Parton, and Queen Latifah came together to make one of the most movies of all time: Joyful Noise! (We know this isn’t a Disney movie, Bertrude’s doing something else entirely).

You might think this movie is Christian Pitch Perfect, but that is just one of the movies crammed into this runtime! Trying to accomplish the tasks of up four (4) movies in one go, this movie absolutely HOOFS IT through the plot and we gotta keep up. But it’s all worth it for the diner scene (iykyk).

In 2018, the Buzzy animatronic was stolen from the Wonders of Life Pavilion at Epcot. He still has not been found.

We covered this in 2020 and safe to say there have been some developments, including Stolen Kingdom (https://instagram.com/stolenkingdomfilm). We dive into the new Buzzy drama, and reveal some of our own information never before shown to the public. And Patrick Spikes may be an even bigger liar than we thought.

Stolen Kingdom is currently touring (dates on instagram, and releasing on digital 8/1)

Hi there music fans! With Eurovision wrapping up and our trip down memory lane last week, we chose to revisit the most significant contribution to puppet-based movie musicals (according to Bertrude): The Country Bears!

This 2002 Disney film is not necessarily… good, but it is very fun, with one weirdly tearjerking moment. It’s a cornerstone here folks, so like it or not, get ready for a TREAT

Ok listen. This episode is a treat, in a way. We’ve covered this topic before and it went terribly, and so we decided to do it again… and it didn’t get better! Escape from Tomorrow (2013) was illegally filmed in Disney Parks, and they pinned the success on that.

Divas, this story is incoherent, astonishingly pre-AI, and pre-male-loneliness-epidemic. It’s daddy issues like you’ve seen a million times before, it’s problematic in ways you wouldn’t even think of, and BOY HOWDY does it take itself seriously.

Tune in, because we’re done trying to e...

Where were you on March 16th 2020? Was it locked into Vanessa Huggins’ livestream where she advocated for every single one of us to get coronavirus?? Bc that was one of her craziest moves.

We’re breaking it down this week: the concept of respecting a virus, the epic highs and lows of having Chrissy Teigan come to your defense, and one diva’s unquenchable thirst to serve qnt at Coachella

Hello Bimbos! There are many facts of life: don't eat yellow snow, wait 30 minutes after eating before swimming, and if you yell at us we're gonna cwy. That's right: we're heading to sunny balmy Pittsburg Pennsylvania, because apparently that's where Abby Lee Miller was "succeeding" when television found her. It's the pilot of Dance Moms divas! Jade has watched this show since it aired, Bertrude is going to have a stroke trying to remember the names. It's a good time, we promise.

Welcome… to Jurassic Park, dinosaurs are queer coded and Laura Dern gets the respect this Saga failed to give her. We’re diving into the queer representation in Jurassic Park (mainly the costume department!!) and wind up queer coding dinosaurs as a whole!? It’s fascinating, you must tune in.

We’re reminiscing on our memories with Jurassic Park, dunking on Chris Pratt, and a few other people he’d probably be really good friends with.

What’s up Bimbos! This week we’re traveling to swamp far far away to talk about Shrek- abstractively! Once Jade breaks it down and Bertrude puts on his listening ears, you’ll see we’re not talking about the movie, we’re talking about Him (Shrek) and his impact on the quirkiest normies you’ll ever find!

There’s a time and place for Shrek…. and just maybe some folks out there are relying on that sexy green beast for a lot of the heavy lifting. But don’t worry, we got a list of other quirks that do the

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Paula Abdul??? That’s right. For any number of reasons, Bug Abdul has spent decades doubling down on claims that she survived a plane crash… which gets about ten times easier to walk away from if it didn’t happen.

But hey, it was the 90s! So what if she repeatedly gets knocked out and comes to in erratic ways. Who cares if there’s no documentation of the crash. Big whoop that her she would’ve needed to be on The Concord for her timeline to work. Be sure to t...

Happy Easter Bimbos! Didn’t think we had an Easter episode in us? Wrong! We’re breaking down Trisha Paytas’ “Jesus Rises (Easter Song). The 2019 gospel smash hit rocked literally dozens of Christians and we’re back to see why.

Trish is going to make some bold claims, we’re going to discuss. Two deconstructed bimbos breaking down a hymn from THIS era of Trish? What could go wrong?

Buck up divas! We’re wrapping up the story of us (so far) with our party girl era!! Folks, this brief but bright chapter of our lives has COUNTLESS tales, some remain to be told!!!

We’re covering the infamous time we “got our phones stolen” at the Abbey, the 36 hour nonstop party that probably concussed Jade, and the Taco Bell trips sprinkled throughout!

We’re back next week with a new topic, and you won’t want to miss it! Be sure to subscribe 🫶

Well hello divas! And welcome back to Bimbo Book Club Season 2!

Bimbos, Thembos, and (reluctantly) Himbos, gather around for the Bimbo Academy's Debut Award Show: The Diva Cup! 12 Bimbos have been nominated, but there can only be one winner. Who's going home with the Diva Cup? Is it Controversial DEI Nomination: Fred Jones? What about the ever-mysterious Bella Goth? Rachel Berry technically qualifies. Elizabeth Taylor choked on a chicken bone in Big Stone Gap, Virginia on October 12, 1978.

Presenters tonight include winner of the White Pants Award for Bravery: Rev!!! And us, your usual hosts. We reflect on things you did and didn't see this season, share our rationale...

Boots the house down like Nessarose! This week, we're celebrating the release of Wicked: For Good by having worse video quality and watvhing the Muppets' Wizard of Oz! It was one of Jade's favorite movies growing up, Bertrude had never seen it... so we're really coming at it from two different directions!

In addition to Muppets' Wizard of Oz, we'll cast a (truly incredible) Muppet Wicked movie, clarify that Ashanti never fell off, and learn that Bertrude has very strong feelings about calling a movie "Part 1" when the second isn't called "Part 2" (the Mission Impossible franchise catches...

Hi Bimbos we just wanted to hop on here really quick and say sor.... actually- we're getting ahead of ourselves! Hey divas! This week, we're unboxing a treasure trove of Bertrude's Covid-era tweets (he doesn't handle change well, which bodes well for us!).

Jade picked out the tweets that jumped out most to her and used the opportunity to request elaboration or an apology. Sometimes she just congratulated Bertrude on great tweet. Fair enough. We're sharing embarrassing memory after embarrassing memory, and we want to hear your thoughts on them!

Gobble Gobble Bimbos! This week, we're bridging Halloween and Thanksgiving the only way we know how: compelled by the spirit of Addison Rae. That's right divas! It's Eli Roth's 2024 Slasher Film: Thanksgiving! and boy are we grateful for what this movie is giving!

This week, we'll talk about our general feelings on the movie, our favorite kills, and work together really hard to figure out why the hell Addison Rae was there.

Thanksgiving is streaming on Hulu

.Happy Halloween Bimbos!

This week, Bertrude's decided to rile up the millennials (again) by making some big claims: Chew rocks, Halloweentown! Gobble a dong, Phantom of the Megaplex! Girl vs. Monster is the best Halloween Disney Channel Original Movie... concept... we're not sold on the execution either. So we're rewriting it! Vaguely... we have concepts of a storyboard. But one thing is clear: Henry has GOT to go.

In addition to Miss Girl vs. Madame Monster, we'll also drum up some rousing discourse! Including, but not limited to: the role of pretentious film lingo in...

Greeting fellows travelers in the night! In this period of Satanic spirits and dark energy, we encourage you to take shelter here at Casa de Bimbo! We're not going to protect you from any of that... we'll just help you realize that none of it matters. This week, we're breaking down incredibly delirious takes from incredibly delirious Christians. Join us as we try to tackle these hateful hoes in a way that doesn't send us spiraling (yes, we did have to adjust Bertrude's audio because of their more yell-y takes, but ignore that). Gear up for Halloween with us...

Jinkies! This week, we’re rolling out the orange carpet for the shining star of Mystery Incorporated: Velma Dinkley. Bertrude feels a very normal way about Velma, so he’ll be taking us through everything we need to know about this bundle of perfection. Jade doesn't know much about Velma beyond the live-action (*floods basement*), but boy is she excited to tag along!

We hit all the eras of Scooby-Doo and the gang; from the 1969 original series, to the unprecedented comeback in the techy 2000s, to... gay Velma (And not just the Hailey Kiyoko version!! There cannon wlw...

Boo bimbos! It’s October and we’re busting out the Halloween topics! This week, Jade starts us out with the 90’s Goosebumps TV Show- and how shows like this shaped our taste in horror movies today! We‘ll celebrate R.L Stein, define “90’s Halloween Nostalgia” aesthetic, and recommend horror movies for wimps!

That’s right. We decided to celebrate this October 3rd by doing what we do best: critiquing! We have a lot of big ideas, and a lot of big feelings. Sounds like this may be the perfect movie for us.

In addition, we’ll cover the exceptions to wokeness, failed Regina George cosplays, and accidentally DEVOUR Rene Rapp (sorry girl).

Hello bimbos! Welcome to another episode of diving into our twisted little brains and seeing what comes out! This week we’re tackling Julian Smith’s Hot Kool Aid (with an honorable mention for Melk). While we unbox our surprisingly strong feelings around these videos, we’ll also take a look at where Smith it now!… spoiler alert: he’s terrible.

While we’re on this tear we’ll take you on our fair share of tangents! Including, but not limited to: Bertrude’s controversial pronunciation of milk, decorum at Beetlejuice the Musical, and the logistics of bringing a g*n t...

Hi Sisters! We're terribly sorry for this one... but also it pays off big time, we promise. This week we're going dumpster diving! That's right, we've compiled all the gems from James Charles' career in one place! (You'll notice its one of our shorter episodes).

While this might not be our birthday dinner, it also felt like the time and place to dive into other topics. Including: an apology to the California State University Fullerton Men's Water Polo Team, our hidden photo albums, and how many holes is too many holes.

Just say no!... to skipping this episode! We're diving down so many rabbit holes that you just have to come along. The crux of this episode is After School Specials, but we specifically curated some reading material of our own! This week, Jade has tasked us with viewing Strangers with Candy Season 1, Episode 1... and Bertrude did manage to sneak in Season 1, Episode 9 of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (it was this, or it was getting its own episode, so pls just go along with it!!!)

We're also sharing our real-life experience with the things we were warned about...

History had been rewritten Bimbos! This week, we’re tackling TikTok smash sensation SM6, and their Tubi Original Movie: Time Pirates. What?! In a shocking twist, we uncover a Bimbo Original Mandela Effect… it’s never stood for Space Monkey 6?! We’re taking it back to the Don’t Flinch Challenge, and hitting the high notes of our obsession… then flying off the gd rails.

In addition to cracking this whole case wide open (!!), we also dive into our favorite Sims Expansion Packs (City Living represent!!), our wicked gameplay, and sharting. Enjoy!

Aca-Believe it, Pitches!!!! This week we're diving into Pitch Perfect, objectively one of the most formative movies of our generation. I mean, why else would be still be dealing with the Pentatonix? We're approaching this movie as HISTORIANS, as ANTHROPOLOGISTS, as researchers of the human condition, all to support Bertrude's claim: if we needed to explain the year 2012 to aliens, all we need to do is pop in this movie.

We're looking at what's aged well (as well as what hasn't), timeless music choices (mostly), and the bits we carry with us today. Be sure...

As the great Lady Gaga once said: Abracadabra! We're pulling out all the stops today and covering millennials doing a Harry Potter Parody Musical. That's right, it's Starkid's A Very Potter Musical! Don't say we didn't warn you. Jade's revisiting her first girl crush, Bertrude's revisiting his most extreme theatre experience, and we're both criticizing college productions.

From 2009 virality to critiquing the show's critiques, we're covering it all. Buckle into you Nimbus (or whatever) and throw on those mustache tattoos. Millennials, this one's for you.

Also all the cool kids are...

It's rare that we face a topic that sends the both of us on a much needed crash out, but we met out match this week when we took on Hoop Dogz, a 2006 Christian children's program meant to teach kids about the 10 Commandments- by any means necessary. Join us, along with VJ, Yao Ling (the one panda in a tv show of dogs), and friends to learn a whole bunch of unrelated things before two gross old guys tell us to never question anything if someone tells you god told them so...

Be sure to let us know your favs from this era too. Bonus points if you can tell us where they are now!

Welcome back Bimbos! We're diving in with a walk down ~our~ memory lanes, and sharing our crushes from over the years. We're talking goth girls, we're taking love letters, we're talking day dreams- but most importantly, we're talking about the ones we lied to cover our gay butts along the way. You want Sheego? We got her. Musical Theatre gays? you'll never guess who! Casper- specifically as a ghost?! Oh!

We're getting analytical and we're getting psychological you freaks! We're analyzing trends, we're spitballing theories, and we're evolving the discourse on the topic we know...

The Glee discourse has been run into the ground, which seems like the perfect time for us to jump in! This episode, we're taking a look at how Ryan Murphy saw it, with a breakdown of the original unaired Glee Pilot, the retcons that abound, and how we grapple with this show being important for queer representation.

In addition to the RetCon-ification of Glee, we'll talk about more bizzaare rules Jade had to follow, how to clean up a Yerba Mate spill, and Bertrude's most iconic sleep paralysis demon.

Also all...

It's Friday, Friday! (Get it?) Yes, this week we tackle Rebecca Black's Friday. The video that shook the world and introduced so many of us to the secret lives of cyberbullies. We're talking about the events leading up to the fateful video, the legal turmoil that followed, and the fact the Rebecca Black was only 13 when this all went down.

In addition to the chaos of this video, we'll discuss small town bus routes, the need for every queer person to watch Hacks, and how this week's Marketable Traitor should pick up a hobby in...
