Bonus 14 - Groupie Historiography w/ Mara Wilson (PREVIEW)

Dust off the sparkling lip gloss and edible body butter, slap on those low-rise jeans, and head to 2001 where we break down the masterpiece that is the film adaptation of Josie and the Pussycats. Alan Cumming, Parker Posey, and a slew of early aughts stars chew the scenery like never before in what the critics couldn't understand, but Low Culture Boil holds as divine.

Bonus 15 - Josie and the Pussycats (PREVIEW)

Drawing from the 1960 flick "Where the Boys Are", "Girls Gone Wild", and Jake's weekend in a Tennessee-made hot tub, the LCB crew goes into Spring Break. How did this now-worldwide phenomenon come to be? Do the kids rage as hard as the Hasidim do on Purim? Featuring the return of Courtney's Lacroix-meets-tequila cocktail. &nbsp; Become a patron now! patreon.com/lowcultureboil

Bonus 16 -  Ft Lauderdale or I'll Kill Mysef (PREVIEW)

Drawing from the eponymous 2003 camp classic as well as Martha herself (plus a little help from Joan Didion), Team LCB goes into the life and phenomenon of Martha fucking Stewart. How did a middle class Polish girl from Jersey cultivate the WASPiest of WASP personas and briefly attain billionaire status? How do her shows charm us into a state of hypnosis despite an utter lack of charisma? Did she really reject an engagement ring and go out to buy herself a suitably large diamond?

CHAOS REIGNS this month's dumpster dive, aka LCB's top trash picks, as we are without Rax, but joined by new third member Amber Rollo. The crew meanders through a countdown including fishnets and a spongy, yellow, unionized friend we all love to hate.

Bonus 18 - Dumpster Dive #2 (PREVIEW)

The full power of the new LCB trio takes to the 2006 remake "House of Wax". A vehicle for Paris Hilton, the movie is notable as much for its sadistic promotional campaign as it is for its campy style. The crew explores the misogyny of slashers as a genre, the psychosexual overtones of this flick, and discovers no one can pronounce the names of the early 00's biggest stars.

Bonus 19- See Paris Die (PREVIEW)

Has the melody celebrating pizza's union with bagels become an intrusive thought? Do you know the phone number of a carpet treatment firm, but not that of your mother? Into the heart of advertising darkness we go with the LCB trio taking on the world of jingles— where they started, regional favorites, and why these pesky ear worms are so damn enduring. &nbsp; Become a trash patron today! patreon.com/lowcultureboil

Bonus 20 - Der Ohrwurm (PREVIEW)

Ramadan is no doubt a holy month for the Muslim world, but to Arabic speakers it means one thing: Solid TV. Summer Nazif, an Egyptian-Algerian living in Paris, joins team LCB to talk the most important time for Arab television and school the girls on the operatic soaps, inventive comedies, and riddle-themed game shows that are the talk of millions of households every year.   &nbsp; Follow Summer on Twitter @SummerNazif   &nbsp; Become a trash patron today! patreon.com/lowcultureboil

Are YOU ready for TEOTWAWKI? Do you have your GOOD plan? Are you a Schumer, or a man? The gals go into the world of prepping via James Wesley Rawles' list-laden masterpiece "How to Survive the End of the World As We Know It" and answer the question: Could Courtney survive the end times with just a box of band aids?&nbsp;

Bonus 5 - Preppers Pt 1 (Preview)

In Part 2 of our Ghostbusters deep dive, Matt and Danny dive more into their seminal article "Slimer on Coke, Muncher on Zoloft", the aesthetics of the movie and what they betray about the state of the Working Man, and Courtney delights all with a profound connection between Ghostbusters and Alien beyond the mere presence of the inimitable Signourney Weaver. &nbsp;&nbsp; Check out their article at Jacobin: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/02/ghostbusters-afterlife-reboot-slimer-muncher Become a trash patron! patreon.com/lowcultureboil
