We’re back, bitches! Today we cover episode 2.01 “It’s Alive”. We discuss women’s sports films in India, therapist Anne, Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, and the possibility that there are many people that punch Ezra in the face that we don’t know about. Deepa reflects on our first season. Cameron doesn't remember anything.
We have an amazing theme song now, composed by Deepa’s cousin Ashok R. Chandran!!! You can find his other work at his website.

Things We Referenced Related to PLL:
- Tippi the bird is a Hitchcock reference! Apparently he was terrible to her.
- Mona bluesnarfing in the spinoff Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists
- Spinoff Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin’s usage of Psycho, and the continuation of PLL’s legacy - ableism, transphobia and abuse
Things We Referenced Completely Unrelated to PLL:
- India has a lot of women’s sport movies! We can vouch for Chak De! India and Dangal being great, but you should definitely skip Mary Kom because it’s racist
- Glee’s “Rumor Has It / Someone Like You” mash up
- Luke’s bad therapist in Lovesick
- Characters in TV shows having posed photos in their rooms of just themselves - apparently a trend not only in Thai dramas but also many Korean dramas?
- Cobra Starship’s “Snakes on a Plane” song and snake lamp!
