Take a bite of our more put-together episode that Shakira and I are calling the TRUE first episode of Media Munch, your weekly podcast debrief of the most talk-worthy stories. This week's stories: Olivia Jade and Jacob Elordi dating?! Do we even care? The Joker sequel bombs and why we need to go back to the movies IN PERSON. Green light for the Princess Diaries 3.

Welcome to the first (rough) episode of the Class of 2020's rebrand to Media Munch! Since movie of the month episodes are a hit, the Class of 2020 is shifting from an introspective personal diary into a relevant pop culture and entertainment show. In addition to Shireen's monthly movie breakdown, Shakira Depina is the newest cohost of a bi-monthly segment that is equal parts real talk and pop culture news you need to know to stay in the loop. Let's get munchin.

Here is part 2 of Shireen and I dissecting one of the most iconic thriller films of all time. We are a bit kinder in our review this time, but it's all about ~nuance~ right? Also, big changes are coming so stay tuned! DISCLAIMER: we do mention murder and sexual assault (again) so please take care of yourself while listening! instagram: @sophia._.bophia email: [email protected] theme music: Night in Kyoto by Avbe

September's MOM is Roman Polanski's breakout film Rosemary's Baby. Shireen and I really get into it so now and in the future, MOM's will be in 2 parts (listening to hour-long podcasts is sometimes hard ik ik). This episode goes into the basic, rips apart any notion of this being a 'feminist' film, and seriously questions Rosemary's intelligence. DISCLAIMER: We do mention sexual assault because Roman Polanski was a dick and contextualization is important. Take care of yourself while...

It's back to school season and while BOTH of my siblings are packing their backpacks, I am left fending for myself in the adult world. Even Maggie (listen to her Defying Disability Stigma episode) is going back to school! Who else is going back to school? My friend Megan from High School. Actually, she is GOING back to high school. The very same one we attended together over four years ago now. Listen to find out why and how you can prepare for this academic year. email:...

This episode is so much more than just two superheroes duking it out... and I'm not talking about Marvel heroes. Or maybe I am? Either way, Shireen rips Hollywood to shreds and I happily tag a long for the ride as we talk about the latest Marvel movie and the sequel fatigue everyone is experiencing. email: [email protected] instagram: @meander_moore theme music: Night in Kyoto by Avbe

Do you have someone you know who is just... so amazing? Maggie is one of those people to me. Not only is she going BACK to school after graduating college, BUT she is going with a mission to make the world a better place for everyone no matter their ability. Brace yourself because you'll leave this episode inspired. email: [email protected] instagram: @meander_moore music: Night in Kyoto by Avbe

Don't you hate when life feels like it's at a standstill? Well, it won't last. Trust me. Within the span of a month, I went from getting rejection after rejection to getting invited to try out for a job I didn't even apply to. But even when things get exciting, it's not all sunshine and roses. email: [email protected] instagram: @meander_moore intro/outro music: Night in Kyoto by Avbe

Summer blockbuster season is here so what better movie for peak-summer than one of the BIGGEST blockbusters of all time? Thats right, Shireen is back and we are talking Titanic. I did come to realize Titanic was NOT released in the summer but I watched for the first time in the summer, so there.

If you've been paying attention to the news, the state of the United States is a lil shaky. These days I find it hard to feel pride for my country, but when I just take a moment to really think about what has come from America, I remind myself that -- we aren't all that bad! So here is a DIY therapy session I gave myself that may give you some hope too.

The way I managed to get this episode out before July is crazy to me. But when I say I will do three episodes a month, I do my darndest to make that happen. And also I really wanted to talk with my friend Aiden after literal AGES. What better way to catch up than to talk about the highly politicized topic of LGBTQ+ identity on the day of the first presidential debate of the 2024 election? Anyway, feel free to share YOUR story of living and growing as an adult in a post-pandemic would by...

America loves freedom, but this country was not really free until June 19th, 1865 when the last slave was emancipated in the south. Juneteenth only became a national holiday in 2021... a year after the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. Truly 2020 was a fever dream on SO many levels. My friend M'Kayla talks about what 2020 was like for her as well as a what Juneteenth means to her. Share your 2020/adulting stories with the podcast! email:...

It's graduation season! Shireen and I are in varying degrees of anxiety. You know who else is lost in the void of impending adulthood? Benjamin Braddock in Mike Nichols' CLASSIC film The Graduate.

Capping off this trilogy of job-related conversations is Tyler Cadenas. He is a filmmaker and computer science major among other things (singer, guitar player, basketball player etc). But he is also in tune with what he wants in life which is why he won't be becoming a professional filmmaker. Find out why in this episode! Also listen to the previous two episodes to hear what Dr. Meg Jay and my friend Yaa have to say about post-graduation job hunting, anxiety, and the...

April finals bring May (graduation) laurels... I know it doesn't rhyme but that's the best I can do :) Psychologist and author Dr. Meg Jay joins me on the podcast to essentially ease the fears any 20-something might have when about to enter a new stage of their life. Dr. Jay is the author of The Defining Decade and The Twenty-Something Treatment. Both books take a deep dive into the lives of twenty-somethings as they go through this monumental time. Needless to say, I NEEDED to talk with...
