“When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it. Oh, when you used to sing it to sleep.” Start Here, the beautiful and moving poem by Caitlyn Siehl inspired us to change our perspective on what makes a monster.

You may recall several episodes ago when we discussed One Tree Hill being one of, if not the, greatest teen drama of all time. So as loyal friends to the pod, you knew it was only a matter of time before we ranked those men. In the second to last episode of season 2, we’re discussing and ranking all the male residents of Tree Hill, NC. We have a lot of hot takes and do a lot of swooning. Is our love for Nathan always and forever? Do these ladies love Chris Keller? Will anyone take Mouth...

We’re baaaaaaaack. After an unintended sabbatical, we’re back and ready to talk about the live action Disney movies. Plus we hint at our new fave obsession that’s slowly taking over our lives (and subsequently this podcast).
