Ep. 18: Postmillennial Femme-inisms LIVE at USC: Sex & the City vs. The L-Word
11/15/19 • 61 min
W2X goes back to school w/ Professor Tongson’s class on U.S. Pop Culture LIVE at USC! Wynter is off on assignment, so Tre’vell Anderson from OUT magazine and Sarah Kessler, the TV editor for Public Books (and Karen’s better half) join her for a backwards glance at the early 2000s and the “postfeminism” of Sex & The City vs. The L-Word. Tre’vell gives us the dish about Robyn Crawford’s new memoir and offers us a preview of the L-Word sequel, Generation Q, while Sarah tells us about her bodice-ripping amusements when Karen is out of town. Nuo-Lingo gets into “cool wine aunts,” and the students become the masters as they discuss the meme “Ladies, imagine this.” Plus, SOTW’s from the aughts!

Ep. 17: Black Middle Class - 227 vs. Black-ish
All hail Regina King! Her turn on HBO’s The Watchmen alerted most of white America to the existence of a “Black Wall Street” in its opening depiction of the 1921 “Tulsa massacre.” This episode explores the shifting TV representations of the BMC or “black middle classes,” from King’s debut in the 80s sitcom 227 to the Johnsons of Black-ish today. Karen and Wynter also talk GBBO gossip, 90 Day Fiancé drama, and a new interior design competition. Plus: NUO-LINGO and SOTW!

Ep. 19: The Head That Wears The Crown: Early Elizabeth II vs. Silver Jubilee Elizabeth II
Karen and Wynter couldn’t resist diving into season 3 of Netflix’s most opulent and expensive series, The Crown as soon as it was released. How do the two feel about the new cast, lead by Oscar-winner Olivia Colman & Helena Bonham Carter as we enter EIIR’s midlife transformations? Karen has a little something to say about Gen Z labeling Gen X a bunch of “Karens.” And as usual, nuo-lingo enhances our vocabulary, as Wynter gets us bopping to a new song of the week.
