Girl Talk

You Might Be The Whore

The girlies sit down to talk about the iconic and disturbing tv show that is Black Mirror. From monkeys that need a hug to evil Matt Damon lookalikes, this show is somehow the best and worst thing they have ever seen. In typical Girl Talk fashion, Em and Nala attempt to share their top three episodes but kinda sorta end up talking about all of them. Other discussions include Grammy predictions and how show-stopping Heidi Klum’s husband looked dressed up as an egg.

All You Had To Do Was Slay

1989 (Taylor’s Version) changed lives. From vault track dissections to songs we think are better than the originals, the girlies have much to discuss. We also share our Eras Tour movie experience, admit our stupid financial decisions (that may or may not be cardigan shaped), and pledge our allegiance to Jack Antonoff (and really all celebrities that hail from the debatably great state of New Jersey).

When Did it End, Although Enjoyment

From being a 20-year-old teenager to entering your depression Barbie era to the emergence of #adulting, the consensus is that existing as a young woman is hard. The Girl Talk girlies discuss this phenomenon and how outside factors, such as the pandemic, have affected their ability to “grow up.” And of course, a small Taylor Swift discussion takes place as well…it is our 13th episode after all.

Fictional Boyfriend Showdown

Technically no one asked us to rehash drama about our favorite fictional characters…but we did it anyway. In this episode, Nala and Emily put on their boxing gloves and attempted to defend the fictional boyfriends that live on our screens (and in our heads). While focusing primarily on The Summer I Turned Pretty and Gilmore Girls love triangles, we somehow stumbled upon a plethora of other discussions such as a dissection of our favorite girlbosses: Emily Gilmore and Kirk Gleason. 

Troy and Gabriella Wish They Were Us

Whether they’re bopping to the top or fantasizing about being rich enough to buy a home in Disney’s Golden Oak, this week’s episode proves Em & Nala are never beating the Disney adult allegations. Other discussions include our 1989 vault track predictions and Nala’s incredible One Direction concert storytime that Emily will remain jealous of for the rest of time.

Welcome to Girl Talk 2.0

School's back in session which can only mean one thing: Emily feels immense pressure to get her life (& her creative projects) back on track. After a slayful summer break, Girl Talk is back with a brand new co-host and a chaotic set of get-to-know-you questions. From book tropes to beets, this episode is a laugh-filled re-introduction to this silly little podcast.
As usual, Em & Nala are begging anyone and everyone who reads this to follow our hilarious and spectacular Instagram: @girltalk.pod

Astrology for Dummies (& the dummy is me)

As a Gemini, all Emily knows about astrology is that everybody hates her. In this episode, Emily attempts to teach herself astrology basics, from why astrology has captured the hearts of so many to whatever the hell a big three is. Other discussions include furry Jared Leto at the Met Gala and as usual, multiple mentions of the Hunger Games.

Three Swifties and a Man Talk About Barbie

In this episode (of questionable audio quality), Emily is joined by three of her besties to discuss an odd assortment of topics. From singing karaoke to save your life to the Duolingo bird’s recent appearance on Cornelia Street, this episode is a bit more chaotic than most. On a very slightly more serious note, the group also discusses plot predictions for the upcoming Barbie movie and the atrocity that we have dubbed the UConn housing hunger games. 

I read a book! (aka Daisy Jones & the Six Review)

Emily’s relationship with reading is…complicated. Follow along as she recaps her messy reading journey and explains how reading has ultimately shaped her life. She then reviews and discusses her feelings on the upcoming adaptation of her most recent read, Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Other topics include the horrificness of Outer Banks Season 3 and the trials and tribulations of being a Hunger Games kid.

February is Consumerism’s Favorite Month

Listen to Em spiral as she realizes consumerism is everywhere and everything relates back to capitalism. Other discussions include a retrospective look at the Grammy awards, why the puppy bowl is the only sporting event that matters, and how despite the cruelties of consumerism, buying a silly little treat on Valentine’s Day might just be the ultimate compromise.
