Pitney & Amelia's Bitchen Boutique

Those blocks of Guadalupe Street next to the University of Texas at Austin known as "The Drag" are iconic. Or they used to be. Stroll with us from the Mr Gatti's Pizza all the way down to Pleasureland, passing Captain Quackenbush's, the Scientologists, the Renaissance Market, the Bazaar, the Varsity Theater/Tower Records, and drag worms galore!

Oh, Verity. How we love her.

It's The Reptile, it's "fregrence," it's imaginary asthma, it's the Munsey, it's a solitary egg on a plate. 

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll google an old 70s sci-fi author. Probably.

The Year of Us continues with quite the shindig! This week, we're remembering the huge parties we used to throw back in the '90s. We're talking costumes and decorations and tapping kegs and inventing cocktails and burning bras on sticks. Grab yourself a Think Pink and a slice of brain nivernaise and enjoy the party!

Come back with us to the days of mimeographed and photocopied booklets filled with writing and art of often terrible quality! Fanzines showcased all the raw enthusiasm of fandom with very little editorial gatekeeping until the rise of crappy Geocities web pages made them financially impractical.

Hear us doing dramatic readings and even SINGING, at least when we aren’t laughing! We remember Pitney’s old friend Vivian (may she rest i...

KISS is finally sitting down and taking a rest after nearly 50 years of touring. We thought it would be a great time to tell you all how much we love them! First we'll tell the stories of what made us into KISS fans, and then we'll answer these burning questions: 

• What's your favorite filthy KISS song? 
• What's the dreamiest KISS song? 
• What's your favorite KISS video? 
• What song do you want to shitcan from the End of the Road ...

Like we do every year, we focus on gratitude in November for our Thankful episode. But this year has some biggies!

- Pitney surprises Amelia with a personal achievement. 

- The importance of found family.

- Knowing when to zip it.

- Happy memories of a crazy past.

- Drag queens are the teachers of youth. 

And we're grateful about the things that are bitchen in our lives, like revisiting an old video game and relishing our goblin na...

The Duchess. The Valedictorian. That's right, the Narcissisters are back for a scandalous sequel!

More stories to make you cringe and wonder how Amelia doesn't go medieval on them.
Why the Duchess had her head examined. A mysterious decorative towel flourish. And how hard it is to write things on a calendar. 

Plus, the Madonna tour is ON and CadaverCast's Alistair watched Night of the Demons!

For this year's Halloween special we're talking real-life vampires in the United States, both in the late 1700s and 1800s in New England and in the current day. But first, we visit preparations for Amelia's yard haunt, enjoy some Facebook drama amongst cemetery enthusiasts, and taste some seasonal Spam.

Supersized episode where we tear into Ari Aster’s first two features, Hereditary and Midsommar, and discuss his genius as a filmmaker.

Does that mean we love both movies? Does that mean our favorite is your favorite? You’ll have to listen to find out.

We address not only our opinions but we react to each other’s opinions and address some opinions we’ve gathered from other people. But no matter what you think of them, you’re sure to...

We cover a lot of topics, so I'm just gonna make a list:

• Talking about oppressive heat like the old farts we are!
• Omigod your toenails are so grody!
• The joys of smoking!
• What we've done live on video!
• Jalapeno dangers!
• Sudden Benny Hill memories!
• Our Flag Means Death is back, and so is Joni Mitchell!

First up, we remember the genius (and the hotness) than was Paul Reubens, and then we fret over who might be the next GenX icon to leave us. 

Then Pitney takes a trip to the Santa Clara County Fair to see a KISS tribute band called Mr Speed, which gets us excited about KISS tributes again, Amelia has a great idea for the future of the KISS franchise, and Pitney reminisces about their past (buying albums on CASSETTE!). And we talk...

We're diving once again into everyone's favorite subreddit, Am I The Asshole, only this time the reader of the AITAs is our special guest, Mr. Amelia! But first, Amelia has to work through some anger about inferior construction and materials in women's tank tops.
