It's the very movie that inspired this great (ahem) podcast, a movie that has been discussed at excruciating length throughout the bulk of our 15-year friendship, but ultimately a movie that we said we would never cover...until now. After almost two years of weighing in on topics we had no business commenting on and publicly humiliating ourselves in the process, we finally feel like we are ready to address one of the heaviest-hitting documentaries known to HBO: There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane. In 2009, supermom Diane Schuler packed up her two children along with her three nieces into her minivan after a weekend camping trip and drove 80mph into oncoming traffic until she would make a violently fatal oncoming collision that would kill her, her daughter, her three nieces, and three other men. After her death, a toxicology report would reveal that she was--for lack of better term--cross-faded to the highest degree. While this may seem like a tragic case of reckless drunk driving, her remaining family refuses to believe it could be as simple as that, going on the media warpath to clear Diane's name in the eyes of their community. Join us as we dissect everything we know about this case, drawing our own conclusions, and even managing to have some LoLs where there none to be had. Also, drink every time Jen accidentally refers to Diane as "Danielle." Tune in!

Honestly? Hell Yeah

There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane (2011): Disturbia 2: Next Level

It's the movie we all asked for but that none of us deserved; the downright offensive, albeit lovable sequel to the coveted, yet problematic series that shaped a nation of insecure, but empowered women: Sex and the City. Join us as we catch up with our beloved frenemies Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte as they navigate their twilight years living, laughing, and loving in the very city that chewed them up and swallowed them whole. Between cheating husbands and runaway grooms, vanilla sex and horny dogs, Carrie's Mexicoma and Charlotte's Poukeepsied pants, we learn that the more things change, the more they stay the same. And just like that, we ask you to tune in!

**BONUS EPISODE/PATREON EXCLUSIVE** The Sex & the City Movie (2008): Poughkeepsing the Faith

After a long, difficult, and gut-wrenching journey, the story of John Wayne and Lorena Bobbitt finally comes to an end. Following extensive court proceedings and a media firestorm, Lorena is acquitted of malicious wounding and avoids jail time. After 45 days in a mental hospital and the dust settles, our Lord and Savior Lorena is finally free to move on from her abuser and the court system, which she does with effortless grace, propelled by her mission to help women who had shared experiences to her. John Wayne, on the other hand, uses his new-found "fame" to get more experimental dick surgery (BIG botch job), does a series of ill-advised porn videos, gets hired (and fired) as a doorman at a brothel, and winds up in and out of prison after a series of domestic violence offenses and poorly carried-out TJ Maxx swindles. Join us as we kiss Lorena goodbye, and have one last LoL at John Wayne. Tune in!

Lorena E. 4 (The Cycle of Abuse): Phallic Host

It was truly a juicy time to be alive: it was the early '90s and the tabloids were flooded with coverage from the Menendez brothers trial, the Tanya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal, Mary Kay Letourneau's repeated offenses, O.J. Simpson, and the ongoing saga of John Wayne Bobbitt's severed penis at the hands of his wife, Lorena. The gut-wrenching details of abuse are pouring out in court, fueling the defense's claim that Lorena was experiencing an "irresistible impulse" to cut her husband's dick off after finally being pushed to her limit. Join us this week as we rub elbows with alleged carpet baggers and poachers, join 1990s America in laughing at John Wayne in a thong, and lots more! Tune in! 

Lorena Ep. 3 (An Irresistible Impulse): A Novel by Danielle Steele

After the dust had settled from the event of Lorena Bobbitt severing her husband's useless dick off came the court proceedings and subsequent media storm. While Lorena was pleading her case as a tragically abused and desperate woman driven to take extreme measures of protection, John Wayne was living, laughing, loving in the welcoming arms of Howard Stern and morning zoo talk shows alike, Hooters, and the rehab ranches of the Wild West. He was now considered a D-list celebrity known only for having a Frankendick and being too dumb to function, and he was LOVING it. However, those close to the couple were coming out in droves to support Lorena and tell the truth about her poor excuse of a husband. Join us as we wade through the muddy waters to see clearly that a lobbed off dick was the least of what John Wayne actually deserved after his years-long offenses committed against Lorena. Tune in!

Lorena Ep. 2 (A Woman in Trouble): Dickless Protection Program

Her name has been on the tip of our lips for nearly 3 decades and yet there have been more wild misconceptions of her story than understood truths. She's Lorena Bobbitt, and in the late night of June 23, 1993, she took a knife to her husband, John Wayne's limp, drunk dick and cut it clean off. The events to follow would include a frantic manhunt for a stray penis, experimental surgery, gut-wrenching testimonies of spousal r*pe, and eventual misguided fame and misfortune. In Lorena (2019), executive producer Jordan Peele sets out in 4 parts to set the record straight and rid Lorena of her bad reputation once and for all. Join us for episode 1 where we make shaky attempts at understanding the actual anatomy of a penis, begin a running tally of the reasons why John Wayne Bobbitt is a fucking loser, establish that just because you worship and would kill or be killed for another man's dick doesn't mean you're gay or nothin' (OKAY?), and so much more! Tune in, babes!

Lorena Ep. 1 (The Night Of): Man's Best Friend

At long last, Murder March Madness (March Murder Madness...? I don't know, who cares?) has come to a close as we submit our final entry to this month's theme with the glossy, high-budge' ABC special, Truth & Lies: The Menendez Brothers. Once again, we are blindsided with misunderstandings of the OG "Trial of the Century" but have since learned our lesson! Join us as we surprise even ourselves with a Wilson Phillips duet, unsurprisingly fuck up California geography, wax poetic on the hotness levels of the brothers Menendez, and ask the question on EVERYONE'S mind: Who the fuck is Lyle?? Tune in!

Truth & Lies: The Menendez Brothers (2017): Lyle? LYLE? Who the Fuck is Lyle?

It's the very case that single-handedly killed Nancy Grace and put her in the ground just so that she could roll in her grave when the verdict came down. That's right, people, we're talking about the one and only American Murder Mystery: Casey Anthony. It's a notorious story plagued with Orlando trash, first names as last names, a missing toddler, hot body contests, Universal Studios event planning, a greasy bus-stop lawyer, an inept jury of our peers, and so much more. In true Honestly? Hell Yeah fashion, we get shitty wasted on dry ice cocktails and relentlessly establish what everybody has already known for the better part of a decade. Tune in!

American Murder Mystery: Casey Anthony (2017): Hey Mitch!

"PASSION, LUST, BETRAYAL. THE MOST SEXUALLY CHARGED CASE IN HISTORY." These are just some of the subtle descriptors used by Discovery ID to detail the complicated case of Jodi Arias: An American Murder Mystery. Join us as we travel into personally uncharted territory, exploring for the first time the story of star-crossed lovers, Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander. And let us tell you, this story has got it all: Mormonism, murder, MLMs, the newly-obligatory weekly Christmas song, lukewarm phone sex, thin bangs, EVERYTHING. In other words, we're HORNY, we're LOVIN' IT, and IT'S PURE PORN! Tune in!

Jodi Arias: An American Murder Mystery (2018): Christmas in July

In a highly unadvised and unsolicited move, for the month of March, we are regrettably diving head first into the true crime podcast cess-pool. That's right, y'all, for one full month, we will be living, laughing, loving nothing but ancient true crime cases that have been dissected and discussed to within an inch of their lives (get it?) and to kick off our Murder March Madness, we are time-traveling all the way back to 2002 to discuss the Scott & Laci Peterson case. In the made-for-TV special "Scott Peterson: An American Murder Mystery," we are reminded of the tragic case of a deeply pregnant Laci Peterson who unexpectedly goes missing on Christmas Eve. With no leads, witnesses, or clues as to where she could have gone and why, the public turns its eye to her no-good, low-down, golfin', cheatin', lyin' ass Republican of a husband, Scott. Join us as we channel our inner Nancy Grace and offer some hearty and unwelcome opinions on this 20-year old case. We are not a true crime podcast! Tune in!

Scott Peterson: An American Murder Mystery (2017): Mackenzie

The saga continues as we attempt to swim through the chummy waters of the case brought against Michelle Carter with regards to the role she played in the death of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy. In Part I, the prosecution painted a dark picture, describing Michelle as a femme fatale, hell-bent on texting her fake boyfriend to death so that her softball team would feel bad for her. In Part II of I Love You, Now Die, we open our hearts to the defense of Michelle, understanding that she, herself hardly survived the relationship she had with Conrad, battling her own mental illnesses, insecurities, and crushing pressure of isolation. Join us as we try our best to extrapolate even one single LoL from a story that frankly brings us no joy. In other words, come for the riveting story of love and loss as it relates to the law, stay for the one lousy pun we managed to squeeze out as it relates to a father and son both named "Conrad Roy." Tune in!

I Love You, Now Die Part II (2019): Condad Boy

The actions of teenagers are complicated; they are always embarrassing, often times confusing, and sometimes even tragic. In I Love You, Now Die Part 1, we hear the case against 17-year-old Michelle Carter after being accused of "texting her boyfriend to death" (legally speaking) when hundreds of texts surfaced after the suicide of her 18-year-old boyfriend, Conrad Roy. In the texts, Michelle relentlessly and ruthlessly encourages her boyfriend to take his own life until he finally does, which sends the streets and the courts of Massachusetts into a tailspin trying to navigate the profound emotional impact of this particular case as it interacts with the law, or lack thereof. Despite her disturbing behavior, was Michelle actually guilty of any crimes? Join us as we begin to unpack this troubling case of teenage humiliation and tragedy, once again pass the BAR with flying colors with precise and accurate understandings of the law, chum swap with boat jocks, and so much more! Tune in to part one of two!

I Love You, Now Die (2019): Chum Swapping

It’s a tale as old as time, a song as old as rhyme, and this weekend we have a real Beauty & the Beast situation on our hands. In Crazy Love, stunning beauty and all-around enchanting Linda Riss is relentlessly and pathetically pursued by Burt Pugach (pronounced “pew-gash”…ugh) who is, by all accounts, the ugliest, shadiest, most deceitful man in the world. And although it seems that it would be easy to resist the advances of a beast like Burt, Linda finds herself swept off her feet, dazzled by his money and profound mommy issues. However, when Linda grows tired of Burt’s unforgivable antics and leaves him for good, he does everything he can to win her back, including the grand gesture of hiring two goons to ambush his beloved Linda and throwing acid into her eyes, permanently disfiguring and blinding her…but their love story doesn’t end there. Join us as we reconcile how low our bar for romance is, how easily swayed we could be by really any amount of money, and how attracted we are to the ugliest man alive. Tune in!
