04/14/25 • 32 min
This week on The Punching Judys, the ladies dive into the glitz, glamour, and raw honesty of Liza Minnelli’s captivating new documentary LIZA: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story, with their signature blend of wit and warmth, the Judys unpack Minnelli’s legendary career, her triumphs, struggles, and the indomitable spirit that made her an icon. Whether gushing over her show-stopping performances or reflecting on the personal battles behind the spotlight, the conversation is as heartfelt as it is hilarious—because if anyone understands the highs and lows of a life in entertainment, it’s the Judys.
Then, in true Judy fashion, the tone shifts from poignant to playful as they tackle Miss Ruby’s infamous verbal crutch: “Hey, listen!” Is it a charming quirk, or a full-blown catchphrase? The debate is on, with plenty of good-natured ribbing and exaggerated impressions. But things really heat up when Miss Ruby drops the bombshell that she’s heading to Utah to see Hans again. Louvel, ever the instigator, raises an eyebrow and suggests there might be some monkey business afoot—prompting Miss Ruby to snap back, “Hey, listen! We are playing it by ear... ” Cue the dramatic gasps and knowing smirks. Will Miss Ruby finally kick her verbal habit? Will Louvel ever stop stirring the pot? And just what (or who) is waiting for Ruby in Utah? Tune in for laughs, love, and just a touch of scandal—because the Judys wouldn’t have it any other way!

Bad Advice: Mile High Meltdown
This week on The Punching Judys: Bad Advice. Strap in—literally—because we’re tackling the high-stakes drama of airplane seating etiquette! Is the window seat a sacred throne, or just a claustrophobic nightmare with a view? Should middle-seaters be entitled to both armrests as compensation for their suffering? And aisle-seaters, are you really just reserving that spot for easy escape when you’ve enjoyed too many complementary beverages? The Judys break it down with their signature blend of wisdom and chaos—because nothing says "friendly skies" like a passive-aggressive battle over window control .
Then, things get very personal when Louvel accuses Ruby of writing a shady letter about her, and Ruby fires back with accusations of gaslighting. Who’s the bigger interrupter? Who’s the master manipulator? It’s a “she said, she said” showdown that’ll have you questioning every conversation you’ve ever had. And just when you think it can’t get any wilder, the Judys close out the episode with a musical number so catchy, you’ll forget all about that time you got stuck next to a mouth breather in 12B. All aboard the drama plane—next stop, Punching Judys pandemonium!
