Reflecting back on a moment of intens triggers. Starting to dissociate. How I handelend it now after years of healing. When being triggered we are not in the “listen, validate, solution” mode usually. Taking a step back to regulate before continuing the conversation. Communication to the other person about being triggered. Is it better to be alone …

I think I heard this quote from a Harry Potter movie! I forgot to say that we can’t always wait for the fear to go away. Some things we have to do scared. For a long time I had this night light which I could write something on, and I wrote “feel the fear and do it anyway” because I was preparing myself to do something I’ve never done before, someth…

In this episode I speak about how I interpreted the wait faith has been explained to me. And these are some things that I didn’t agree with or liked when it comes to the explanation of faith. In the metaphor about the house and the paint I meant to say “when you buy a house that you have not seen the inside of yet” (which people do apparently btw!!…

In this episode I speak about how important it is to know why you want something. Specially when you have a harder time following through because of the negative self talk or over all “out of comfort zone” feelings! 🫣😬 Also talked about how cleaning toilets has helped me understand parts of myself that I would have never been able to meet if I didn…

I had been dissociative for years prior and I always told myself that “if I find the cure one day, I will share it with the world” I know the cure was already out there, I just had not found it yet.. due to lack of information and misinformation oh and a really bad therapists! 🤯💀 One therapist that made a HUGE mistake and made my life so much worse…

In this episode I talk about many topics. I reached 20 days of 10 minutes of meditation which means I am half way! My goal is to do 40 days of meditation. In the episode I tried talking about the benefits but got distracted due to hearing a cat sound! Later I found out that it came from one of the cats in the house being locked behind the door of t…

In this episode I talk about a (stray) cat that has been visiting the garden. How being a vet nurse influenced me as HSP, and the choice I made moving forward. Loving illustrating and creating a silly illustration of almost everyone at a party. A story about changing my plans last minute without a plan B ready. But some how everything unfolded in w…

In this episode and in every episode forward, I will talk about my experience of life in all its beautiful and challenging ways.

Happy 100th episode of the podcast! To celebrate, I'm thrilled to welcome Brett White, host of Must Have Seen TV, to discuss RuPaul's Drag Race season 16. But it's a long conversation, and we detour to what's on the show's application, the upcoming season of We're Here, a bunch of international Drag Race franchises, and the book Brett is writing ab…

I'm so sorry, but I had to rant for like 15 minutes about people's (unwanted!) hot takes on Kevin's selfishness in Home Alone 2. But then it's on to my favorite TV shows of the year! I'll be back in 2024 with episode 100, but in the meantime, follow me on ⁠Serializd⁠ (a TV watching app where you can see what I'm currently watching and discuss TV wi…

A new season of Drag Race is around the corner, and the cast has been announced... and there's a queen local to me on it! This week I'm breaking down the Dancing with the Stars finale and the season premiere of Hollywood Houselift with Jeff Lewis.

Fargo is back on FX and Hulu! I didn't realize I only actually watched one previous season, but if the rest of this new season is as visceral, thrilling, and funny as the first two episodes, I'm excited to be on board.

I'm trying something different and talking about the lack of empathy and emotion in reality TV as of late, particularly on Catfish and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and how that's a symptom of our decaying society.

Get ready for a history lesson! After complaining about how much streaming services cost, I'm diving deep into Showtime's Fellow Travelers, a historical romance series starring Matt Bomer about having hot sub/dom gay sex in the 50s. Just kidding, it's actually about the Lavender Scare, shame, and the persecution of queerness throughout history. X (…

I have a lot of thoughts on how American Horror Stories season three today, particularly the "Bestie" and "Tapeworm" episodes that Hulu just released for Halloween. Why it's hard to be a teenager in 2023 and an overweight person... any time, but also in 2023. X (Twitter): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@FakeTVCritic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@faketvcritic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Outro Musi…

This week I'm harping on why the 90-minute episodes of Survivor 45 are doing it a disservice currently but may be great in the long run. Also: this season's casting failures, the LuLuLosers, what made this show so good for so long, and (potentially) the most incompetent Survivor castaway in history.

Are you a Millennial or Gen X-er who loved those ooky spooky, weird and wild kids' books by R.L. Stine? Did you collect them because you liked the covers? Because you wanted to touch the bumpy letters? Because you wanted to have the ones your friends didn't? Or even because you actually read them? Then you have to listen to this episode, where I'm …

Hey, no one's listening to this podcast anymore! But in case you stumble upon this because it's spooky season, I'm reviewing the season three premiere of Chucky and the season thus far of American Horror Story: Delicate, featuring the worst television performance I've ever seen... you'll never guess who's giving it! /s Watch the season premiere of …

The writers' strike is over (actors may be coming soon?), but I blame them for making me sit through crap like Fox's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, which I'm proclaiming The Dumbest Show Ever on this episode. I'm also recapping the season 5 premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, which has brought out my inner conspiracy theorist. So join me for…

The WGA strike is on the verge of ending, but when will it be enough to salvage the television season? Plus, Dancing with the Stars is cursed, and The Traitors has a season two cast. Southern Charm back for its ninth season on Bravo, and it's as incestuous and borderline-exhausting to keep up with as ever! X (Twitter) & Instagram: @faketvcritic Out…

Everyone is on strike, and the villain of the week isn't the Warner Bros. Discovery CFO who suggested we were freeloading off his services but Drew Barrymore! This week, I'm reviewing the new Hallmark Channel movie Notes of Autumn, which features a gay couple that I've been manifesting on Twitter since 2019; and the Discovery misfire Survive the Ra…

Wow, I hope you have a long commute today, because this is a super long episode. It's been a long summer of Bravo TV, and I'm joined by Ande to talk about ALL of it! That's right, we're getting down and dirty with The Real Housewives of Atlanta; complaining about the lackluster (hot take!) The Real Housewives of New York reboot (except Jenna Lyons,…

You've probably heard by now that the Writers Guild of America is currently on strike, and most scripted TV and films are shutting down production until a new agreement is reached between screenwriters and producers/studios. I'll break down the reasons why the strike is happening, why the writers are right, and what exactly they're asking for (and …

Anybody else struggling to get invested in scripted TV lately? I'm loving reality right now, but I get into my issues with The Last Thing He Told Me, Beef, and Love & Death on HBO Max, which is my deep dive this week. Elizabeth Olsen plays a much prettier version of Candy Montgomery (yes, the same woman Jessican Biel played on Hulu's Candy last May…

My allergies are out of control and I was feeling lazy, so instead of a structured episode, you're getting a full 90 minute conversation between me and my bestie, our recurring guest, Ande! She's back to break down the season 15 finale of RuPaul's Drag Race and all things Bravo: the latest Scandoval updates, Scheana's Mexico wedding on Vanderpump R…

Felt a little loopy recording this one, but oh well - I'm ripping apart the intelligence of the average Netflix viewer as I disagree with everyone who loved The Night Agent, which is a show that I think makes dumb people feel smart. Sorry about it. Also? I'm not loving this season of Yellowjackets so far! Is it me? Am I the drama? Maybe. I'm also t…

This week I'm dipping into Mayor of Kingstown, which just wrapped its second season; RuPaul's Drag Race, which is at the top five and, once again, showing its ass; and Swarm, Amazon's new Donald Glover series about the dangers of obsessive fandom. Also tangents on why I hate everything everyone else loves, Beyonce stans, Jeremy Renner's snow plow a…

If you love mess, listen to this episode! Because the cast of Vanderpump Rules is the messiest of messes right now! I'm recapping (kind of) the tenth season so far, but mostly this episode is about the Raquel-Sandoval scandal (Scandoval?) that unfurled last week and the incestuous history of the #PumpRules cast. Our favorite chaotic queens are BACK…

I'm back with news on Showtime with Paramount Plus (or is it Paramount Plus with Showtime?), Netflix, Kevin Costner, an @midnight reboot, and the uncancellation of Uncoupled! Then I'm diving into part one of the fourth season of You, which just dropped, and is an unfortunate shadow of its former self. Then it's a recap of season fifteen of RuPaul's…

This week we're doing something a little bit different! I'm touching on the final episodes and reunion of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but mostly because I got an advance copy of Heather Gay's book Bad Mormon, so I have a little bit of a preview before it officially releases! From holy underwear to Lisa Barlow convincing herself she was c…

I've been absent... so sorry! But the format and release of the podcast is going to change going forward, and I get into that first before discussing why you should give MTV's new queer reality docusoap The Real Friends of WeHo a shot, even though you probably already hate it for making Drag Race episodes shorter. But it's not terrible, I promise! …

It's the holiday season! Before I recap on which streaming platforms you can find your favorite Christmas movies and specials, I break down some new stuff I watched this season that I recommend: 8-Bit Christmas on HBO Max, which came out last year and is about a group of tweens' quest for a Nintendo; The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, in …

Needless to say, MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF THE WHITE LOTUS IN THIS EPISODE! It's The White Lotus season two finale discussion! I loved this season so much, even if I was actively angry at it sometimes as it was airing, and there's a lot to talk about as creator Mike White gives us a complex meditation on sexual and gender politics. I had a l…

Okay, it's Housewives time! Whether it's franchise fatigue or just general bad storytelling, I'm getting into why the current season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City isn't doing it for me all of a sudden. Whereas the scripted, sitcom-y vibe of the first few episodes of season three of RHOSLC were entertaining, it's getting exhausting and bo…

It's an all-Drag Race episode! Well, kinda. First, we have to talk about the Chrisleys, but then? Let's get into the season four finale of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, which had a bit of a lackluster season, despite crowning a wonderful queen. Then it's onto the next international all stars season, Canada's Drag Race vs. The World. (Or is it just Canada …

It's Thanksgiving week, which means it's actually Christmas; my podcast, my rules. So for news, we're talking about Candace Cameron Bure's big bag of BS at her new "NO GAYS ALLOWED" network, and then I'm diving into two new offerings to the holiday canon: the HBO Max sequel we've all been waiting 40 years for, A Christmas Story Christmas; and the D…

TV is now for old people! I'm recapping Hulu's Steve Carrell vehicle The Patient and the new Sylvester Stallone series Tulsa King, which is by the Yellowstone guy and streaming on the service that seems to be actively targeting Boomers: Paramount Plus. There are also a bunch of tangents about The Masked Singer, So Help Me Todd, and that damn Dahmer…

I thought this was going to be a shorter episode, but then I just never shut up. Oops! This week I'm covering this exhausting, dark, terrible season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills; two really good Countdown to Christmas movies that aired over the last weekend in October; and the bizarre, awful way the internet treats celebrity deaths. Soun…

Happy Halloween and also Merry Early Christmas? My brain is confused because Hallmark started Countdown to Christmas a week earlier than usual this year. So I'm straddling the line between horror and holiday talking about American Horror Story: NYC, and how it's exploring the depths of queer fear, and Hallmark's Kristoffer Polaha-Marisol Nichols mo…

Happy Halloween! To celebrate spooky season, I'm talking about horror this week! The scariest story, though, might be that James Corden is a complete douchenozzle, according to the owner of Balthazar in NYC. After going through that viral story of Corden getting banned from brunch, I'm talking about Netflix's new Ryan Murphy series The Watcher, whi…

This week I'm recording an hour straight-through, so hopefully I don't sound like a crazy person by the end! There's a brief update on BravoCon at the top of the episode, followed by some memories of the late Dame Angela Lansbury, who sadly passed away last week. Then I'm getting into the new format and contestants on season 31 of Dancing with the …

It's the finale of season two of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race and this miniseries, Secret TV Critic! Ande is still sick, but she's back for a relatively short episode recapping the very unexciting final episode.

Ande is sick, so we're putting the final episode of Secret TV Critic recapping the finale of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race on hold until next week. So it's back to just me, scrambling to find things to talk about. So you get one idiotic story of why a handful of chronically online people are trying to cancel Kesha and Katy Perry, plus a recap…
