This week I demanded a Crushed themed episode in honour of my birthday. Fortunately, Auntie Amy complied. We gush over the effortless talented Tom Hardy and the painfully cool Milo Ventimiglia. We hope you like it! Remember to account for those 25% tariffs and may the Cult be with you!

I don’t know about you, but we needed a little joy in this sea of unending despair so we thought we would chat about one of our favourite things: Disney. East Coast Auntie Amy came in with the Disney World history and I, West Coast Esteemed Cult Leader Megs, dug up some of my favourite facts and quirks about Disneyland. We hope you like it! Remember to spit out your gum before you enter the park and may the Cult be with you!

With all of the banning that’s been going on lately, Amy and I thought we’d have a chat about one of our favourite banned things: books. We each picked a few of our favourites including “Lady Chatterly’s Lover” and “Parable of the Sower.” We hope you like it! Remember to forget your old acquaintances and may the Cult be with you!

In 2025, we have resolved to not make any resolutions but to also keep complaining about the same things. Join us this week as Cult Elder Aunty Amy dives into the history of New Year’s resolutions and I dive into the history of, well, diving into cold water (ie. the polar bear plunge). We hope you like it! Remember to forget your old acquaintances and may the Cult be with you!

Oh baby, it’s Christmas! All over again! This week we’re covering, well, some Christmastime murders. It’s a weird month for me and I get a little macabre over here.

We also talk about our favourite Christmas movies at the 35-ish minute mark. We hope you like it! Remember to check your candy canes and may the Cult be with you!

We’re back with another spOoOoOky episode! This week we’re talking about cults and what’s more fitting than a cult talking about cults, amirite?

We’re back with another spOoOoOky episode! Okay, maybe less spooky and more heartbreaking. This time we’re talking about Canadian Cold Cases.

I asked Cult Elder Auntie Amy who she wanted to know more about this week and she said “Paul Mescal,” or, more specifically, how the heck he went from Normal People to Gladiator 2. Or, even more specifically, how the heck is that going to work? So if you’ve ever wanted to know more about Paul the Brick Wall (as Pedro Pascal calls him) and/or his relationship with Phoebe Bridgers (like I’d leave her out), then you’ll enjoy this one! I think. I hope. Fingers crossed.

On this week’s episode of A Real Cult Classic, we look into two of the biggest phenomenons of our childhoods: Beanie Babies and Lisa Frank. Join us as we delve into the bean-filled underbelly of those highly sought after heart-shaped tags and psychedelic dolphins.We hope you like it and may the Cult be with you!

I’ve recently been binging The X-Files and I kind of now understand what all the fuss was about regarding 90s David Duchovny. So, naturally, I had to do a little bit of an Intermission meets Crushed episode. I hope you like it!

On this week’s episode of A Real Cult Classic, join us as we dive into two of our favourite historic dynasties: The Targaryen’s and Lisa Vanderpump. They have more in common than you think! We also discuss our favourite summer movies and which Vanderpump cast member would be paired with Vhagar. We hope you like it and may the Cult be with you!

We recently covered Marilyn Monroe in a four-part series, so I thought I’d combine them into one episode and throw some extra bits in for ya! Join me as we explore the life of this absolute icon and always remember: “We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.”

On this week’s episode of A Real Cult Classic, go on a sentimental journey with us as we talk about our dearly departed grandmothers and their favourite old Hollywood starlets! Auntie Amy talks about her Mamère and Doris Day while Megs talks about her Nan and Katharine Hepburn. And of course things take a completely different turn when we start talking about the X-Files and our favourite novel tropes. We hope you like it and may the Cult be with you!

I asked Cult Elder Auntie Amy who I should cover for this week’s “Intermission with Megs” and she said “Matt Smith.” Given the fact that we have both been watching House of the Dragon (of Game of Dragons as I like to call it), I thought Matthew would be a fitting subject for this week’s Intermission episode. And hey, maybe you’ll even get a Crushed video on him too one day.

On this week’s episode of A Real Cult Classic, Auntie Amy and Cult Leader Megs sat down at an actual table in real life and went through your questions for your esteemed leader. We also talked about Shawn Desman, of course. We hope you like it and may the Cult be with you!

After a decade’s worth of breakups, engagements, and iconic songs about said breakups and engagements, this is Miley and Liam!

Few people are as synonymous with the early 2000s as Paris Hilton – the Juicy Couture sweatsuits, the pink Bentley, and Tinkerbell the chihuahua. Loves it.
