Pitney & Amelia's Bitchen Boutique

Sometimes little things can set off the strangest conversations! Amelia read an article to Pitney about Breatharians (idiots who think we're going to believe they never eat food and live instead off of "cosmic energy"), and then the discussion turned to the crazy woo-woo things some people believe. And a woman who is a bit too close to her wolf pelts. And how Tricia Von Lichtenstein used to draw rather wolf-themed erotic art, featuring herself and Blackie Lawless, the lead singer of WASP. And then, of course, we couldn't help but talk about how ridiculous WASP is. And we laughed and laughed. We love you for listening! Please take a moment to rate and review us!

Pitney is back from the Kerrville Folk Festival, where he had a marvelous time and interviewed a bunch of crazy Kerrverts! He shares his interview with Joel and Jordan, while he and Amelia interject from time to time with comments that take them off into their typical tangents! Renfaire, the douchebags of Coachella, multi-hole latrines, Paris Hilton, you name it! And we didn't get permission in time to use this awesome song about the festival by Neale Eckstein (@fxrn), but we want you to hear it anyway! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEy_UJ5T0NI We love you for listening!

Sometimes hip and happening means old-school and over. Why would Austin decide its airport needed to go back in time? And do the super-cool lack sweat glands? Pitney and Amelia question the sanity behind some weird new developments at ABIA. Then we kvetch about how Austin has changed over the years, and how you can't still claim you're a city for artists and musicians when none of them can afford to live here. Not to mention the detrimental affect the lack of trashy slackers has on one's sex life. OH NO IT'S A TIME WARP! Suddenly it's last month, the day before Texas Frightmare, and we're sitting in the bar of the Hyatt regency DFW gushing about how much we love that hotel. We've had so many great memories over the years at various conventions, including Verity Noslen's WEDDING. Not kidding, you guys. We were just as shocked as all of you. We love you for listening!

What's Pitney's favorite word? What's Amelia's least favorite sound? This week, we took the Bernard Pivot Questionnaire, better known as that thing James Lipton does at the end of Inside the Actors' Studio. We learned some stuff about ourselves and each other! Then we peruse the Photo Gallery on the Mar-A-Lago website (http://www.maralagoclub.com) and make comments about what we see. You would not believe how furious Amelia gets looking at Trump's curtains. Or maybe you would! We love you for listening! Please take a moment to rate and review us!

It's our Texas Frightmare Weekend Special! Come with us to the Hyatt Regency hotel in the DFW airport (seriously!) as we celebrate one of our favorite nerdy pleasures! HORROR MOVIES! First, as we enjoy delicious pints of beer in the hotel bar, we sit down with a friend to discuss what distinguishes horror from other types of movies. Is Silence of the Lambs a horror film? Is Psycho? What about the Hellraiser series? THE ANSWERS MAY SURPRISE YOU! Then we jump forward in time to the drive home, where we reminisce about all the fun we had. The Fright Night reunion panel, meeting Ted Raimi, a strange encounter Willie Aames, and oh my god they couldn't cram more people in that hotel with a tub of lube and a shoehorn. And Amelia has a message for people who think they have the right to demand a refund from a convention because they didn't get their way. We love you for listening!

Omigod, like bag those toenails! Amelia desperately needs a pedicure, and we talk about how fabulous toenail polish is. Then Pitney shares a story you just will NOT believe about a crazy woman who showed up to a poolside potluck and changed his life forever. Texas Frightmare Weekend is coming up soon, and we're excited that Chris Sarandon is going to be there, not only because we love Fright Night, but because Verity Noslen always said he was a "major him." This reminds us of yet another Verity story we think you'll enjoy! Pitney has been rewatching Deep Space Nine, and we talk about queerness in the Star Trek universe and surprising fan reactions to some same-sex storylines. This leads us into a discussion on queerness in fandom and the recent so-called controversy with the new Beauty and the Beast movie and Disney heroines being secret lesbians! Here's that article about how Belle should have ended up with Gaston: https://www.google.com/amp/observer.com/2017/03/beauty-and-the-beast-why-belle-should-have

Who is Florence Foster Jenkins? Your new muse, that's who! Learn about this fascinating woman who sang her heart out despite being rather terrible at it, who became the toast of New York during the days of Toscanini and Caruso, and who inspired a movie that would earn Meryl Streep her 20th Oscar nomination. Hear about the world of ladies' clubs, tableaux vivants, and the scourge of syphilis. But most of all, hear a voice quite unlike anything you've ever experienced. And while we're at it, we review the movie and the performances of Meryl, Hugh Grant, and Simon Helberg, too. Because it's all SO GOOD. Dance like no one is watching, love like you've never been hurt, and SING LIKE FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS AT CARNEGIE HALL! We love you for listening! Please take a moment to rate and review us!

This week we're giving you a little of everything! We talk about a scary way women used to clean their ladybits, recurring dreams and nightmares, refusing to comply with dress codes, yelling at cake, Barbie's musical career in the 80s and 90s, and the way Amelia tends to attract guys who pretend to be famous. And in the middle of it all, we declare our undying love for Tim Curry and our reasons for NOT going to meet him in Dallas. We love you for listening! Please take a moment to rate and review us!

You have GOT to DESTROY that MATTRESS! Amelia is delving into the world of Hellraiser and Pitney helps her along on her journey, as they discuss what the movies are about, their obsession with Skinless Julia and that damn mattress, and the time Pitney made Doug Bradley (Pinhead) laugh! It's Ceno-bitchen! Have you been wondering where this podcast name comes from? It's a funny story. Actually, it's several funny stories. And one of them indirectly involves Verity Noslen! Then Pitney and Amelia went to see the new Jordan Peele movie GET OUT and loved it so much they reviewed it while sitting in a Chili's. (Audio quality is surprisingly good!

Pitney and Amelia are nothing if not gourmet! Listen as they share their love of experimenting in the kitchen and experiencing new cuisines, telling stories of how they learned to cook, sharing tips and recipes, and insisting on the French pronunciation of La Croix.

Privilege. Many of us have it, and most don't understand what it is and get super defensive when the subject comes up. Amelia explains one kind of privilege that you probably have and she doesn't. You see, she's lefthanded, and life isn't as easy for her as it is for righthanded people. She won't rest until you appreciate how the world is literally, physically laid out for you, ya righthanded bastards. Then Amelia confesses to something really gross and embarrassing that happened with the Worst Person in the World in order to tell you what a jerk he was afterwards. Then Pitney and Amelia reminisce about all those things that kids today just don't understand, like the superiority of vinyl records, VHS tapes, Disney re-releasing their classic movies in the theaters again and again, cool non-corporate radio stations, popular songs with cussing in them, and reading actual physical books.

Welcome to a Valentine's Day episode filled with utterly unromantic stuff! Amelia hates Valentine's Day. HATES. IT. Find out her many reasons, including one story of a Valentine's dinner date gone horribly awry! Then, speaking of horrors, Pitney talks about his love of My Bloody Valentine, and the St. Valentine's Day massacre! Plus a really icky Von Lichtenstein story!

Pitney explains his obsession with organized crime and  mafia documentaries, and talks about his personal childhood encounters with mobsters and their shady dealings. Then Amelia jumps in with a quick story about the Worst Person in the World. Please excuse Pitney's very excited dog Joxer making a racket in the background with the squeaky toy. He's a good puppy.

Happy Holidays! This week, we talk about family traditions and how families come up with their own special way of celebrating Christmas. Trees, fancy or no? Or both? Does Santa wrap presents? When do you open presents? There's a lot that goes into a Christmas tradition! Then Amelia surprises Pitney with a festive Christmas edition of the game "Fuck Marry Kill!"

We've gotten some questions about Wicca lately, so we decided to answer them. Pitney teaches us, in a nutshell, about the Wheel of the Year, about rituals and spellwork, and about the duality of deity. Amelia does her best to keep up.

What a week, huh? We swear it's a coincidence that we're putting up a podcast about being happy during a week when a lot of us are so miserable. But Amelia DID change her mind about calling this episode "Get Happy, Stupid!" so we all won, in a way. Some people are just determined to be DOWN all the time, you know? Maybe you feel like happiness isn't real because you don't think you can be happy. We think you're just doing it wrong. And we know stuff, because we've been around the block a few thousand times. We learned the hard way how to avoid drowning in sadness and self-pity. Let's get out of the bitter barn and play in the hay! We love you for listening! Please take a moment to rate and review us!

It's our 13th episode, and it's Halloween! Our favorite holiday by far. The sights, the sounds, the scares, all of it!   We tell stories of our glorious party days of the past and the complications of putting scary decorations on a "murder house."   Then we get to the educational bit where we talk about the origins of Halloween traditions and how American Halloween was shaped over the years! (Shoutout to Hiawatha, KS and the @HalloweenFrolic!)   And finally, all that healthy nonsense surrounding giving candy to kids. Don't be the jerk who gives out pennies! We hate that guy!
