- Showrunner, writer, producer, 9/11 survivor (?!), and Molls' longtime friend, Rob Anderson, joins the pod to talk about a TV movie that hit SO freakin hard (and was directed by Mickey Dolenz of The Monkee's). Amongst the chatter about this surprisingly layered and twisty film, Rob and Molls also touch on topics like locking eyes with a rival during a moment of unspeakable tragedy and chaos, accommodating a cat's desires in a coyote-heavy city, the breakup advice Rob once gave Molly, and Skyrizzi.
From IMDb:
A lawyer (Stephanie Zimbalist) turns private investigator when her doctor-husband holds himself responsible for the death of a patient.

Enter Molly's pal, Attoney Stara, a defense attorney living in the Dallas area who also shares her takes on various cases on TikTok and is a fixture in Molls' lives.
From IMDb:
Thanks to a roommate's practical joke, bookish college student Joanna Halbert finds herself signed up with a Malibu-based escort service. Her initial annoyance turns to curiosity when she visits the boss's beach house, and she is soon captivated by the seemingly glamorous lifestyle of working as a high-class escort. Before long, however, she realizes that glitz and money go hand in hand with exploitation and sleaze--and it may be too late to get out.

Starring actress Kellie Martin, the movie has always stood out to Molly as basically one of the most accurate adaptations she's ever seen.
From IMDb:
A teenage girl sees a photograph of her much-younger self one day in the school cafeteria--on the side of a milk carton. But her beloved parents would never kidnap anyone and there's a deeper mystery ahead.

Nacho Experts, our friend Karly is back to talk about 2026's An Unstable Marriage, a movie so good that Lifetime didn't even bother to make a trailer for it!
Despite dealing with technical difficulties (hence, no video version this week), Molls and Karly were able to parse out this fine film and commiserate about their lives in between breaks from discussing the REAL matter at hand: the people we all follow on our phones and the stories that they can't stop thinking about.
Special mentions include: Daughtry, Natalia Grace, Clavicular, Meadow Soprano, Spirit Airlines, (Nancy Grace voice) singer D4VD aka David Anthony Burke, Jeff Wittek, Andy Dick, and Ripley's Believe It or Not!
From IMDb:
After marrying the owner of a popular horse stable, Caitlin tries to adjust to life as part of an upper-class horse community but finds herself under suspicion when her new husband suddenly disappears. Inspired by actual events.
